Cookout Etiquette

When I entertain I try to provide everything necessary for everyone to have a good time. Since I'm the host, I plan the menu and I don't want someone to bring something that may not "go" with what I'm already preparing. Some of my friends are pretty lousy cooks, and heaven forbid they bring something nasty that my other friends will think I made. I definitely don't want to tell people that they need to bring something specific, which I think is just rude. It's my party and I was brought up to think that whomever did the inviting paid the bill, so to speak.

If people insist on bringing something, I tell them to bring some beer or wine that they like to drink.

What's So Weird About That?

My friends all thought it was disgusting when I slurped down raw clams and oysters. Silly children...

Sunday Brunch: Ina Garten's Hashed Browns: Best Ever?

These are actually home-fries in my neck of the woods - hash browns are shredded potatoes, not cubed.

That being said, the best hash browns, IMO, are the ones made from the leftover potatoes from a pot roast. This give them a real extra flavor kick. If you don't have any, you can almost get the same effect by cooking the potatoes in some beef stock or bouillion. Almost, but not quite.

One you have these yummy potatoes, proceed with recipe above.

Are foodies Democrats or Republicans?

I'm a liberal, but I settle for voting Democrat.

I've lost my taste for chicken, I think

I felt the same way until I started buying Poulet Rouge chickens - they have them in Whole Foods here in Georgia. They actually taste like chicken is supposed to taste.

Yum!

Adventures in Shoo-Fly Pie

I agree with most posts - the peanut butter is just wrong. Coming from good PA Dutch stock, I know that no one - and I mean no one - would ever think of such a thing. While you may enjoy adding the peanut butter, in my opinion it is not longer shoo fly pie once you do it.

But that's just my opinion...I believe in variation. But please don't call it shoo fly pie...
