I love it in pad thai (replacing the chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version): http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2006/01/12/the-return-of-pad-thai/

My favorite lunch was a thermos of homemade minestrone soup, which my mom would put in a reusable lunch bag. Kids would totally tease me for it, and in middle school I insisted on a "normal" turkey sandwich in a brown paper bag, maybe with a jello cup. Now i'm back to the minestrone and the reusable bag - Mom was so ahead of her time!

That sounds great! For some reason I'm having a hard time finding fresh pita at any of our local markets (only frozen...). Love pita!

That demi-glace gold that comes in a little cup is good too, especially if you're making a reduced sauce. Otherwise I use Better than Boullion too.

This sounds great! I like that you can use it as a base recipe and adapt to what you have. I would have never thought of using linguine, but why not? :)

Our kitchen has two 4-outlet groups on the main counter, and two 2-outlet groups on the side counter. I never use all 4 outlets in one group, though, so I kind of wish we'd split them up more evenly spaced. That way I could reach the stovetop with the immersion blender!

My in-laws brought their cork-backed hard placemats over from England, and I loved them so much I got my own set. Very easy to wipe clean and don't stain compared to the cloth or bamboo kind - I pretty much stopped using cloth placemats after I got these. The designs tend to be a little old-fashioned, but some of the floral patterns are quite nice (we have the amaryllis): http://www.jasonproducts.com/Products_67.aspx?CategoryId=88

I recently bought 8 lbs of pork belly from a local farmer and had to come up with things to do with it - these two recipes were easy and popular"

We keep the food processor on a shelf in the pantry, so I put a couple thin nails in the wall behind it and hang the blades on those. Works great!

I fully admit to sticking a metal colander into the top of my stockpot to steam food in a pinch.

I'd love an update on this - now that you all have had the pans for longer. How do they hold up?

Cheese and olives - I never liked cheese, which made me a pretty weird kid I guess. But when I was dating my husband, his mother kept feeding me St Andre cheese and kalamata olives on crackers which I ate to be polite. I love them now!

Wish that I could like smoked salmon... I love smoked and I love salmon, but something about the raw texture is just challenging to me.

We have Marmoleum, which I love - it's eco-friendly, easy to clean and comes in much better colors than the old 70's linoleum patterns.

Funny, I've been researching for a trip to New Orleans next week and I just saw another mention of this dish last night - it must be fate!

If anyone has other suggestions for where to find unusual local flavors, I'd love to know about them!

We got a friend who was a potter to make us a container like that - it exactly fits one tub of the Earth Balance and makes it look so much better when it's out on the table.
