Friday Fives

1. What is your favorite vegetable?
Recently I have discovered Brussel spouts – fresh, roasted Brussel sprouts. Do this – take about 2 cups of fresh Brussel sprouts from the produce section. Trim and cut in half. Toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a roasting rack, cut side up and roast for about 25 minutes at 425 degrees. These are amazingly yummy treats.

2. What is your favorite salad dressing, sauce, gravy, or condiment?
I think we have covered Sriracha sauce here already. I also love homemade bleu cheese dressing and Ken’s Lite rasberry salad dressing.

3. What is your favorite culture’s food (American, Chinese, Creole, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Soul Food, Southern U.S., etc.)?

Beer, then Iced Tea and a recent unhealthy perhaps addiction to Coke Zero.

  1. 1. Asparagus. It’s like spring on a plate.

    2. I really love the Cajun Hot Sauce at Hot Cakes. The sauce is more flavorful than hot.

    3. Either Japanese or Vietnamese. Both countries are at the top of my list to visit.

    4. Beer, then bourbon, then water.

    5. Unagi.

  2. 1. I love roasted parsnips, butternut squash and steamed broccoli. I also love farting.

    2. Love me some good green chili to smother my foods. Smoked Chipotle Tabasco is also among my favorites.

    3. Indian, Italian and Japanese are my top three.

    4. Unsweetened fresh iced tea, a lovely aged bourbon, followed by cold milk. Not necessarily in one sitting.

    5. There are so many that I love, but I think I’m with Eddie on this. Unagi always, always, always sounds good.

    Onion. Best cooking thing on earth. Everything cooked in a skillet is better with Onion.

    2. What is your favorite salad dressing, sauce, gravy, or condiment?

    I find that awfully vague. Favorite dressing is Ranch. No question, we are the ‘ranch generation’. Favorite sauce? A spicy peanut Thai sauce will always make me happy. Gravy? The white ‘country’ gravy that comes on a chicken fried steak. yummy. Condiment > ranch (doy!).

    3. What is your favorite culture’s food (American, Chinese, Creole, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Soul Food, Southern U.S., etc.)?

    Mexican food. No contest. Not sure if that is because I was raised in AZ, or got to discover the best Hatch green chili dishes on earth here in Denver. Or, likely spending every summer in college backpacking through Mexico to everywhere. Mexico is my happy place, and Mexican food is same for my belly.

    4. What is your favorite beverage?

    coffee. the reason the sun shines every day.

    5. What is your favorite food?

    sammiches. I am nuts for sandwiches. I would seriously be 10 pounds lighter if it weren’t for my lack of control regarding a really good sammich. I am not talking about Subway here, or a BLT. Here is an example, and take this as gospel: go to Safeway and order a ‘Chicago South Sider pannini’. Seriously, SAFEWAY makes one of the best sammiches on earth. Want a tip? Go white bread, and ask her to put the tomatoes and lettuce on after she grills it*.

    * If she does this without asking, you are blessed.

    ** this is not sexist. Every great sammich maker I have ever encountered is a gal.

  5. 1)I love the stinky pee sticks, (asparagus)
    2)Buttermilk Ranch
    3)Italian
    4)Water you can’t live without it
    5)Cookies!
