Something Delicious

[s0litude]

Virgo Moon Survey:

Does the full moon impact your appetite?
-- Never really thought about how the moon affects my appetite. Working out increases my appetite; stress decreases or halts my appetite. I don't really eat for comfort. I'm also one of those weird ones who doesn't really like sweets. Candies sometimes, a cupcake or a slice of carrot cake, but I'm not the "gimme chocolate or die" type, not even during my cycle.

What is your beverage of choice to have with a meal?
-- I'm from the south originally (NC), so I'm all about the sweet iced tea. I also like orange juice, or water (filtered though-- I can taste a difference)

Name your Top 3 Comfort Foods:
-- Chinese / most types of Lo Mein dishes with beef and veggies; pot roast (I make an awesome 13-hour, slow-cooked roast); freshly baked bread.

If you could have anyone cook for you who would it be?
-- My grandmother (deceased, 2007). In time, my girlfriend or wife-- there's something so loving in cooking a meal together or coming home from work to your favourite meal "just because" she loves you. And I'm a cook and a romantic too, so I'm all about the "just because" dinner for her as well: table set, bottle of wine, flowers as a centerpiece, steaks and veggies on the grill, potatoes baking, salad chilling in the fridge, etc. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

If you could have a meal anywhere in the world, where would you go?
-- Probably Germany... brats with cabbage and potatoes, freshly baked bread, some cheese, and wine-- and dancing. A great meal is a celebration, and eating a great meal alone, a travesty.

Do you have a Food TV show that you like? If so what do you like about it?
-- I don't really watch them because 1- they make me hungry, and I swear I can gain weight just watching them, and 2- they make me envious as I don't have a lot of kitchen space to cook in and I enjoy cooking.

What do you want to learn how to cook/make?
-- Sushi, specifically the different rolls i.e. the Tempura California Roll, etc. It shouldn't be that hard, but some things... well, some things require more grace than I have with sticky rice. They end up tossed mish-mosh in a bowl with some extra rice and soy sauce. It's a tasty failure nonetheless. I also would love to learn to make spring rolls with the rice paper, shrimp, and peanut sauce.

For the non cooks, what do you never want to learn how to cook/make?
-- I like to cook, but you won't find anything with mustard or alvacado (guacamole... blech!) in my home.

Name your Top 3 Desserts:
-- Not really a sweets eater, but occasionally.... carrot cake, lightly-iced cupcake, fruit sherbert (lactose-sensitive)

Create a new ice cream flavor.
-- Cinnaroll (Cinnamon, walnuts, lil bits of cake... like those cinnamon swirl cakes)

Often I am curious as to why people love the food that they love.

Indulge me, if you will; what makes a favorite cuisine, a favorite for you?

Is it the journey to the place or origin through the food, great memories attached to the meal or something else entirely?

I think it's a lot of things for me. Certainly sometimes it can be any of those or something else entirely but often I find it's the experience as a whole. The emotions and memories associated, the way the flavors and aromas play with my senses and all of the local culture and history behind the cuisine itself.

Looks like DDD is a popular show!

Great ice cream choice. I need to figure out how to work banana into ice cream better than my last experiment that did not go very well.

I am making Justin chicken and potatoes for dinner in the crockpot. I just threw in potatoes, garlic, onion salt pepper and a little broth with a whole chicken on top. It smells soooo good!!! I hope she likes it along with some drop biscuits

Hey Corkey,

I like Top Chef as well, great competitions. Have you seen the show where Sue Torres of Suenos in NYC battled Bobby Flay? It was a total throwDOWN. See if you can find it online. Awesome. My favorite episode yet.

As for the chicken dish we can figure that one out. You may need to buy the special pottery that they cook the chicken in. I was just invited to go to Morocco next year, that would be a great opportunity to pick up some first hand recipes. Thinking it over.

I've heard it can be done in a Dutch oven. Saving mah money to buy one.
