What's your favorite comfort food
Comments (15)This thread reminded me of a time long ago, a cold, foggy, drizzly day in early May, in Bar Harbor. Thoroughly chilled from camping out and walking around slick Acadian rocks, late morning, we walked into a small restaurant on Main Street, ordered coffee and chose a table near the fireplace to warm up. The restaurant was nearly empty, being between breakfast and lunch times. On the menu was New England Clam Chowder, sounded good and warm and filling, so we each ordered a bowl. Enjoying the coffee and warmth, some time went by. Had some more coffee. We certainly had nowhere to go that would be better. Finally the waitress arrived with our chowder, apologizing for the delay. She explained that the chef had to shuck the clams and prepare the broth. When I looked down to my bowl, I was amazed to see it chock full of fresh long neck Ipswich clams, you know...the ones with the succulent bellies and chewy necks...surrounded by the creamiest, buttery ambrosia of a broth...not thick or starchy, but just thick enough to coat the spoon. Small chunks of potato, onions and parsley just accented the dozen or so whole tender clams lazing in the steaming bowl. That's real clam chowder. Well worth the wait. In fact I've waited maybe 30 years, ordered clam chowder many times at many restaurants since, but have never had anything even close to that experience. Thanks for bringing back that memory....See MoreWhat's your Favorite Thanksgiving food?
Comments (19)Oh, what I love about Thanksgiving dinner is that everything goes so well together. We sometimes have a turkey during the summer, but if we haven't had it by October, we DON'T. By the time Thanksgiving day is here, we are anticipating that Butterball. Stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, are all perfect together, and the first person who thought to serve cranberries with turkey was a genius. We also drool over pumpkin pies in the stores all fall, but we don't indulge until Wednesday night. Then we will watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and enjoy a piece of pumpkin pie. This is the tradition of many, many years. We're big on tradition, lol. - Gail...See MoreWhat are your favorite finger foods and appetizers?
Comments (20)Love those pigs in a blanket things. I buy them from Sam's. I also like stuffed mushrooms--can't get much easier than these, but they don't travel well; they get soggy. They're very addictive. STUFFED MUSHROOMS 42 large fresh mushrooms 1 lb. mild sausage* 1 - 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes *I use a medium lb. of Jimmy Dean sausage and leave out the pepper flakes. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Take out the stems. Cook sausage until crumbly and drain. Stir in cream cheese and pepper flakes, if using. Spoon into mushrooms. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes....See MorePeople who alter your,food after serving it
Comments (84)My uncle is a great cook (as is my aunt). And not in the more casually inventive way of my mom and myself. He takes cooking seriously. (A friend once quipped ‘why don’t their cookbooks have any pictures?’) They lived in Italy for years and usually prepare Italian or French food. They often hosted family/community gatherings and would attempt to make some accommodations to various dietary eccentricities. That said at some point he had heart troubles and ate a fairly restrictive diet - and when I would eat in a restaurant with him he would NOT ask for special treatment because he thought it was disrespectful to the cook’s creations. I can see both sides of this. Awww as I write this I realize all should be in the past tense. He has Alzheimer’s and while not completely gone he doesn’t cook anymore....See More- 13 years ago
