What do you miss? (to: expats and others!)

As a Bostonian living in Denmark, I reminisce about the days when I had access to: reasonably priced, incredibly fresh, and a broad enough range of seafood and shellfish; Winter squashes; Italian pizza as fast food; fresh Italian sausages (sweet & spicy!); a Jewish deli and Chinese food which has not been robbed of all spice or flavor.

We've got great ingredients with which to work here, but these were some of the things I miss about "home"

Best dish you've had at a restaurant

One summer on Nantucket, I tried American Season's foie gras creme brulee for the first time. 'nuff said. Period.

What do you put on pasta?

It depends how ravenous I am on a scale from 1-10 (peckish-coyote hungry).
If a 1, then I'll warm up some artichoke hearts, semi-dried cherry tomatoes and toasted pine nuts & romano cheese flakes. If a 10, a little bit o' butter and KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. KC's hard to find here in Denmark, so I ration my usage of it for those "special moments".

Essentials: Guacamole

I love all of these suggestions! I was schooled in guacamole when I lived in New Mexico and traveled extensively throughout Mexico. Now I live in Denmark and they only way to get good guac here is to make it myself. Some of my Danish friends seem to think that "authentic" guacamole contains creme fraiche. Oh the humanity!

Toscanini’s in Boston, Really the Best Ice Cream In the World?

I was blown away by their banana cardamom ice cream some years back. Never had anything like it since.

Turnip, Apple, and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup

This was heavenly! I halved the recipe, used apples from our tree (type unknown, but similar to Macouns), and added some herbamare for added flavor when cooking the turnips.

I'm so old that I remember (food style)...

Growing up in Lehigh Valley, I remember:
- having lunch at the cafe at the top of Bamberger's (or was it Hess's) dept store
- getting a bottle (glass) of Yoohoo at the cloth store-it seemed as big as a warehouse
- getting a big ole dill pickle from the jewish deli which was next to the wine maker's supply store
- fresh funnel cakes
- The farmer's market had a stand where the Amish ground horseradish fresh to order

One of my favorite memories is going to my grandfather's sugar house in Vermont during maple season and taking home Grade A light amber!

Soup "Season"

Wild mushroom season has sprung in abundance in Denmark, therefore I made a wild mushroom soup based on epicurious.com's recipe at: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/WILD-MUSHROOM-SOUP-WITH-HORSERADISH-CREAM-104025 with some edits. I used chanterelles, porcini and shiitake mushrooms, new potatoes with the skin on, and an abundance of onion, celery, garlic. I subbed Herbmare for chicken stock. Served a baby spinach salad with roasted beets, fresh figs and goat cheese crostini.

Break Up Food/ Emotional Food

IMHO, the better you are to yourself, the more fabulous you will feel. I can only speak for myself, but when I have come across ex's and feel fabulous, they inevitably want to get back together. And it's so tasty turning them down. :-)
Why not indulge in healthy foods, especially food made by others from your favorite restaurants or cafes?
Keep your chin up - he's clearly proven that he is simply not worth it...
