guihong thanks for the sauce recipe! I prefer my pasta sauce with hamburger. Sun, we should definitely all try and get to together and make a meal! .. and you can be the meatball pro!

For some reason I'm not a fan of sausage unless it's breakfast, chorizo or brat types. I also like German sausage for breakfast but don't know where to get it around here. I used to get it from a supermarket in CO that made it fresh in their meat department.

Nadeest, Congrats on your culinary degree! Hotels are a good business for a foodie. I work at a 4 star one (I'm not a chef lol) , however, they need chefs in their top restaurants and also for banquets and catering. They have different chefs including pastry and baking. Where in FL would you move to? You know, Orlando is a tourist area and has many of those jobs available.

gaea thanks for the info on the fried chicken! I'm still craving some and gonna have to make some soon!

For me it's mostly nuts, sandwiches (turkey, ham or pb and jelly), protein shakes or bars, put something in a tortilla.

Good Morning Delicious people!

How in the world are you all today? Or tonight, depending where in the world you are.

ruff, I like your idea. We should figure out a way to all get together for a meal. That would be so much fun and better than me trying to jet around to see everyone on the private jet that I do not have.

An outdoor bbq on the beach would be my ideal situation but truly I am not picky a gathering of any kind would be nice. Perhaps Her Majesty would like to plan a cooking event to go with the next reunion. I shall inquire.

I need some serious coffee. Super tired. A meeting that I had prepped for bigtime crashed and burned for me yesterday but on the bright side (and there always is one!) I get to avoid working with a client who is positively clueless.

Speaking of coffee has anyone had Starbucks coffee made in the uber expensive Clover machine? They could have opened up a small foodbank for what that thing costs and I did not see the big difference in brewing quality but maybe that is just me. Its a one cup at a time espresso machine quality machine.

Thanksgiving or shopping?

I do not know this planet on which she dwells.

No cooking for me this year. No anything for me this year as a matter of fact. Just a day off.

Sun · 11-16-2012, 09:02 AM

If you could have one "Dream" meal,

where would you go, who would you be with, and what would you have.

I want you to dream big here, people!!

If you cant decide then pick two dream meals (or dream dinner dates)

Lets see that creativity get going

Crazy planet we live in now. As Black Friday starts on Thanksgiving in the middle of dinner timeee. That means people will be in line Thanksgiving morning.

They wouldn't open up early to get our last meal ideas but they will open for shopping. hmmmm. Lots of Walmart workers are planning to strike this week also because of it all.

Hey ruff I had wondered if you were at a hotel or resort when you had posted that your Chefs at work were making Cuban sandwiches. I used to say similar things when working at a resort in N CA and people would look at me like, "You have Chefs at work??" lol but yeah our employee dining room was insanely good. When I was there we earned the AAA Four Diamond designation, no easy task people, those of us who are AAA members are paying for some tough critics there. Geesh.

Our bakery anchored the whole food service program, we made everything in house. 5 restaurants, buffet, hotel room service, VIP area, banquets and a food court. Like a Vegas hotel only not. Our Garde Manger kitchen alone was bigger than most restaurant kitchens. Crazy busy place. Loved it there though and I got to work with people from around the world. We had Chefs from China and it was quite hilarious to try and communicate and ask one another questions.

I say boycott Black Friday and Thanksgiving shopping.

Good I hope Wallmart employee's do strike and put those greedy owners on notice that they need to be treated better and for the love of mercy give them a raise and some health insurance billionaire owners!!

First, I'll say that I could have a Big Mac with the right person. A ham sandwich and chips, yes. I have been to splashy restaurants with the wrong person, and it didn't matter how much $$ it cost, it wasn't right.

That said, in my limited experience, the best food I ever had was this little steakhouse in New Orleans. I don't remember what the name was but it was on Bourbon Street. I had filet mignon, which was like sex on a plate. Oh my goodness, that was eating.

My second choice would be more for sentimentality than food, though it was excellent. I grew up near Amish country, and my brother went to college in a town there. Each weekend, my family would go to this family-style restaurant that had ham, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, all kinds of things and homemade pie. I would love to take special someone back to Ohio to that place; like part of my childhood.

Hi gui

Great reply.

Just to clarify for everyone my question has no relationship to cost. A dream meal can be bread and cheese, or an apple in the right location with or without whomever you choose. I was just wondering what yall would do if you could pick up and have anything that you wanted.

recipe for "spice". It makes a good flavoring for sauteed veggies, hummus, I'm thinking of trying it on popcorn....cuz I love playing with flavors with my whirly gig popcorn maker....also a good rub for meats I imagine...that's what Teddy said....lol Here it is

Spice

5Tbs smoked paprika

1/4 c kosher salt

1/4 c garlic granules

2Tbs fresh ground pepper

2Tbs onion powder

3Tbs cayenne pepper

1tsp ground cinnamon

2Tbs dried oregano

2Tbs dried thyme

1Tbs ground fennel seeds

1Tbs ground rosemary

1Tbs dried sage

Blend herbs in a coffee grinder (or something comparable) mix with remaining ingredients. Store in airtight container for up to 3 months.....

PS... I added a tsp of cumin when we made this last...I like the flavor it adds.... good stuff...think gifts in a jar for the bbq lover in your life...

Ursy!! Welcome to the thread!

So glad you are here my friend.

We have so many fabulous people here, I thought, where is our sparkly fairy from down under?

Fish Taco, very simple, requires however, fresh corn tortillias. I am crazy about them.
