Just check that the Ikea one doesn't have a mote that runs along the sides. Stuff falls in there and it makes making the gravy very difficult. I wish I had thought of this before I bought it.

Falafel bar - I make a big batch of the chowvegan falafel from this site, and hummus, tahini sauce, tzaziki, pitas, tabuleh, isreali salaed; put out lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot sauce, and some feta, and let people build their own. Always fun, and easy.

I always dump my mashed potatoes into my stand mixer, and then just give them a turn or two. Breaks them up a bit, not too much, pour in the melted butter and cream - delicious every time.

I have always gone with Ina Garten's recipe, and that calls for regular limes (cheaper, easier) and is very tasty. It's also frozen which is nice...

The Momofuku Pork Belly Bun recipe. To die for. It's a bit time intensive between the buns and brining the pork, but worth it. Great for parties!

potatoes and olive oil - I think these guys are your best bet here. When I cook the soup, cook the potatoes right in the stock. I give it a drizzle of olive oil at the end to give it some richness.

Someone recently told me that she was avoiding "white sugar," and I was appalled. Sugar is sugar is sugar, and I will never understand how people think that a touch of molasses will make it somehow healthy.

I don't think it's that simple, Joe. I am sure that she wasn't the only one serving drinks and that the rude guest had access to help himself. How about instead, he act like an adult, and take responsibility for knowing his limits? I would have told him to leave.

how else will you know how it tastes? I would understand if you were eating half of your recipe before it even hit the pan, but a little nibble seems harmless, and even necessary!
