Sauted Yellow Squash? what to add?

Butter , a little pepper and a light sprinkle of dill and just a couple drops of lemon.

Restaurant Closures

Slovinia on Clark has a great Schnitzel...

Food to make someone whose relative has just passed

One time I brought over a chafing dish filled with meatballs from Costco and a bottle of KC Masterpiece. Its smells great and is very easy...

Fondue party, need some ideas for other foods

I have a great one for you... If you have time?? Like a few weeks...
Take a little Jar of cherries and empty the sweet juice out. Then fill up with the 98% alc by vol. Let sit in the fridge for about 30 days. This will prime a fondue party. I think they are called Cherry Bombs :)

first time in LA, but only for 24 hours

I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS ONE ...
( PINKS )
It's a must do for out of towners
It is an L A thing ...

Is Trader Joe really that amazing??

I went to visit my family back home in Quebec and I DID MISS TRADER JOES... Sure I could have found the quality gourmet products at several other stores... But it would have cost me An Arm, A Leg, A Neck, And a Spine... TRADER JOES IS THE BEST STORE ON THE PLANET. For Quality , Price and SERVICE ! No other store comes close...
Thanks, Brian the Food Dude :)

What would you have done?

Your guest was rude. I would have let everyone know...
I am sure that your buffet was awesome. The trick to eating at a buffet, is to start with only a bite of each. If that would have happened to me with one of my guests... I would have proved that she is the food Monkey and insisted on every one trying a bite of the dish in question and let the games begin...

Please dont Hate me for this... I LOVE K F C . Fried Chicken
