In Memory of The Silver Palate's Sheila Lukins

i am on my third copy of The New Basics... I got my first one around 1993 or 94 when i was in college... it has been a great go to book for me.

One of my favorites of her recipes is the Carrot Cake found in new Basics... and also, Bobbie's Chicken.

"Nerdy" recipe ideas?

I spent 9 years in computers and brought little meatloaf men more then once, and the software people loved them.. I just used a little man shaped cookie cutter and cut out the raw meatloaf w/ it and baked it... great room temperature.

Road Trip! Where's the best food between Boston and San Fran?

if you come through Kansas City, go to Arthur Bryant's for BBQ...it's not that far off the interstate either.... it is in a shady part of town, but they have someone who watches the cars.... 1727 Brooklyn Avenue, K.C., MO,

Very good!

Celebrate 'Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbors' Porch' Day

When I moved to Vermont last year, the town I lived in has Zucchini festival every year... my roommate told me that if i was in town and didn't lock my car, that I shouldn't be too surprised if I found a zucchini sitting in the seat when I got back. She said that so many people are always overrun with them, that they just start sticking them in people's cars. Unfortunately, I never had one left.

Favorite foods eaten at the 'wrong' temperatures?

i've raised many eyebrows w/ my preference to cold leftovers... just this morning i had left over cold chinese food (cashew chicken). i sometimes buy chinese food just to have it cold the next day.

Who actually likes slimy food?

i love okra and raw oysters, the slime doesn't bother me at all.... for me it is more what I call the "oogie" factor... like uni or sushi or smoked salmon, the little slime, not so firm, giggly thing... that i don't like. but funny, i can still eat sushi and smoked salmon, just as long as i don't let the ooginess get to me.

salsa, chutney - what is the difference

for me... it's more that chutney's are cooked while salsas aren't. that's how i've always thought of them... aside from the Indian vs. Hispanic cuisine differences.

Farmer's Market Prices, why so much cheaper in Italy?

I went to the KC rivermarket last saturday and filled my bag for about $12.. the two most expensive things I bought were peaches and heirloom cherry tomatoes.. both $3 a pint. I also got okra, kholorabi, radishes,baby bok choy, yellow squash and one other thing I'm blanking on.
I also know the Minneapolis Farmer's market, which i shopped at for years, has prices very similar to the ones here in KC.

Do you rinse your canned beans?

i always rinse mine as a well... the liquid kind of scares me.

Apple Pie - almost sugar free - help needed

Thank you everyone... great ideas!
I think i might go with the mixture of sweet and tart apples and use some agave nectar if it needs some sweetening...
I think i'll save the little sugar for the crumb topping part...

I appreciate all the ideas.

I love _____ but I'm allergic to it!

I have the same issue with fresh pineapple... love the stuff, but i can't eat it really fresh.. so I've taken to buying one, cutting it up and letting it sit for at least a day, then I can eat it a lot better. But I won't give it up completely.

Friday Night Drinks

i didn't have one last night.... but for me it's either a Tom Collins or a whiskey on the rocks... love it.

From Talk

I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...

love baked beans straight from the can. jarred olives, pickles and pickled veggies.
