I concede that I'm a little over the top on this. I had an unpleasant experience a long time ago. I made a sandwich. The bread looked ok at first glance. I didn't examine it or smell it. I took a bite and something tasted strange. I looked at the sandwich again and smelled the meat at the top...

The Himalayan pink salt picture is funny, haha! I don't know what it is, but I've got some paranoia about eating food past the date. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

Oh, I went by Emeril Lagasse's recipe, which I found on foodnetwork.com. I've never made them before, and was nervous about making dough, so I used his recipe as a starting point and followed it pretty exactly. I researched several recipes, but his sounded the best to me, and it was really good.

I made Natchitoches meat pies. My grandma used to make them, but I never made them before. They were excellent.

I don't think they would sue if you are just making the cake for your own personal consumption. I would be sued by Hershey's for making smores with their candy bars if that were the case. Of course, if you were making these cakes to sell for profit, then there would be an issue if they ever...

When I lived in New Orleans, I remember watching reruns of Justin Wilson and Paul Prudhomme, even though my interest in cooking wasn't really all there. Hell's Kitchen season 1 started while we were there and we enjoyed that (I had never heard of Gordon Ramsey at that point). Now, I don't...

My mom and grandma (and me) always thawed chicken out by leaving it on the counter for several hours. Years later, I read something similar where this can be bad and cause bacteria, so I got nervous and stopped doing it for some time. Didn't take long before I was back to doing the same thing...

Probably more red beans & rice here. I made a big pot on Sunday and I'm still eating on it 4 days later. Wife and kids won't eat it. Too spicy for their taste, but just right for me.

Sounds tasty. Interesting technique with the room temp oil. Never thought of doing anything like that.

This sounds excellent. I can think of some other options for this as well. Thanks for sharing!

The best cake I have ever had was at a local "mom & pop" type of restaurant close to where I live. They had what they called a banana pudding cake. It was so good. It tasted just like banana pudding (which I love anyway), but was a cake. It was served cold. I don't dine-in there very often...

This sounds like something I would like, although I would have never thought such a product would exist. I'll have to look for it. Thanks for the review!

Red beans and rice. Never cooked dry beans before. I'm using a recipe from gumbopages.com, but I've also referenced recipes from Tom Fitzmorris and Justin Wilson, two of my favorites.

It's taco night over here.

My favorite restaurant back in New Orleans was Deanie's, located in the small community of Bucktown. Stuffed shrimp was my favorite. We also liked Café Maspero for poboys on Decatur street in the French quarter, and also Café du Monde for beignets (French doughnuts), also on Decatur street...

Texas Toast may be something you can use, although I'm not sure of its availability everywhere. It can be bought in the bread aisle at the grocery store where I live here in Georgia. It's basically just thick sliced white bread. It's about double the thickness of normal white bread. A lot of...

Excellent info. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I am learning a lot here.

Interesting. Not so sure about salmon mayonnaise...

Nice. Looks really good!

I've seen that seasoning at Walmart in town. Definitely going to have to try it now after reading this thread.

Good point!

Thank you so much for the reference! I will definitely check it out.

It didn't occur to me that the honey/mustard combination is the same principle as the syrup/mustard combination, I guess. I don't know why I didn't think of that; honey mustard is a common dipping sauce or salad dressing. Just never heard of syrup and mustard together before. The chipotle...

I was super hungry the other morning, as normal. We had frozen waffles, but I was more hungry than that. We had Tyson frozen chicken patties as well. So I had the idea to make a chicken sandwich using the waffles as the bread. I googled "Chicken & Waffle Sandwich" and it turns out that is...

I do have a hot and a cold shut off under the sink, and I read, during all of this, that the hot should shut off the dishwasher. It seems that Home Depot should've known that, but they still refused. I read their documentation on installation and it stated that the install would not be done if...
