Reviewed Fiddlehead Pasta Primavera
"We bought a pound of fiddleheads last Thursday and on Friday night made the Fiddleheads and Pasta recipe that I posted some time back (http://www.food.com/recipe/fiddleheads-and-pasta-478955) with half of that pound. Ah, but what to do with the other half pound? A quick ingredient search of food.com turned up this recipe, which is definitely a ke..."

Reviewed "5 Things" Hot Mexican Green Chile Dip
"You;re absolutely right about not bringing any of this home! The only change I made was to use low-fat sour cream to try to cut down the calories a tad. Everyone loved it and lots of folks wanted the recipe. By the way, either use a particularly strong tortilla chip or go for some kind of cracker -- the more flimsy chips won;t survive ..."

Shared Recipe Marak Temani (Yemenite Beef Soup)
"From forward.com: "Any critic who complains that Jewish food has no taste has never tried marak Temani. Typically served for Sabbath dinner, this cilantro scented beef (or sometimes chicken) soup gets an extra hit of heat and flavor from the Yemenite spice mixture hawaij, which combines cumin, turmeric, cardamom, cloves and coriander. As Joan Nath..."

Reviewed Middle Eastern Salad With Za'atar Dressing
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! The za;atar that I had access to is the Israeli kind -- which, if "green" indicates the color it should be, is quite brown. Nevertheless, this salad was fabulous! Will be making this recipe again and again and again....."

Reviewed Pork White Bean and Kale Soup from Eating Well
"DH wasn;t sure he was going to like this, based on the smell; the smoked paprika really permeated the house! But he did like it, quite a lot. Doesn;t take long at all to throw together, it;s very flavorful without knocking your socks off, and is a perfect use for an inexpensive cut of meat. A tin of smoked paprika is definitely a ..."

Reviewed Lemony Quinoa
"Like one of the other reviewers posted, it;s hard to find cans of vegetable broth here, so I substituted chicken broth. And hubby forgot and brought home curly parsley from the supermarket rather than flat. But it was still delicious! Hubby thought it might be even better cold served as a salad, but we scarfed it all up, so will have to wai..."

I live (with my husband and our beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Maggie) in a tiny town not far from the Canadian border. However, I was born in Los Angeles -- and it was a very circuitous journey that took me from one end of the country to the other (with stopovers at various points in New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Carolina, South Texas, and New York again -- this time upstate)! Downeast Maine's regional cuisine, while delicious, is quite bland, and we're a long way from good ethnic restaurants. Thus, anything highly seasoned is likely to get my attention. However, I'm not a technical cook; I like "throw all this stuff together"-types of recipes, hopefully without *too* obscure ingredients (as our local market is not likely to carry them).
In my neighborhood I'm well-known for my West African Chicken stew (http://www.recipezaar.com/peanut-chicken-from-niger-390062). I'm also partially responsible for turning Downeast Maine on to the joys of kugel (both sweet and savory), as well as hominy as a useful ingredient in soups and stews (cf. posole!).
My favorite restaurant of all time is, sadly, long gone. Tucked into a corner of downtown Culver City, California, once upon a time there was a small Thai restaurant called "Chuladul's" -- the first Thai food I ever ate (back in the mid-1970s): what a revelation and *still* the best in my book! Perhaps it's appropriate that Chuladul's was just 'round the corner from the Culver Hotel, where the "Munchkins" stayed during the filming of "The Wizard of Oz" -- eating Thai food for the first time was like going to the Emerald City, especially at a time when almost all Chinese restaurants still served only Cantonese food!!!
Tom Kha Gai (Thai Chicken soup w/ coconut)
Chicken mole (sauce not too thick or too thin)
Korean barbeque (beef or pork) all those lovely pickled sides!
Kosher dill pickles (speaking of pickles, the newer the better!)
Poached salmon with dill sauce (wish my hubby liked it too....)
Pumpkin cheese cake (the ultimate dessert)
Not that I can cook many of these.....

"Great "meatless Monday" meal -- you'll not miss the beef in the slightest! From cbs.com. The 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes makes it moderately spicy, not killer; however, it's easily omitted if you're sensitive."
