This is fun, isn't it?!?
Okay, Hurricane Ike hysteria is in full force around these parts. For those of you not in the Houston area, for right now there is no reason to panic about our safety.
So, in sticking with the five theme... your five favorite things to eat.
This could be your five favorite places to eat, or meals to eat, or actual foods, or desserts, or if you only could eat five more things in your life what would they be..... you get the picture right?
So, I am going to share my five favorite things to eat, that I also make. (Including things I don't make, but love to eat would just be too much for me!)
1) My grandmother's coffee cake, a true Liddell tradition.
2) Meatball Stoup (a Rachael Ray recipe, and a fave of my entire family)
3) Banana Pudding (have you had mine? because it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Oh, and it really isn't mine, I just make it!)
4) Sliders
5) Pizza Dip
Okay, the last two are largely because whenever I eat these things I am eating them with some of my favorite people and they are current favorites. And there is just something that makes the food you prepare taste better when those you make it for are complimentary of it as well....
Sheesh...now I am hungry!
Your turn....

Aha!! Food is a wonderful topic...
1. chocolate (especially dark)
2. pizza
3. Taco Cabana (anything that comes with rice and beans)
4. Mississippi Mud Pie
5. it's a tie for Asian foods...sushi and bubble tea...General Tso's Chicken....wonton soup
I like food. Here we go...
1. Really round, really green, really crunchy grapes.
2. Fruit snacks. I especially like the ones you can get at Dillons that are dinosaurs. Yum-Me!
3. Mexican food...all of it...the chip/salsa-yum, enchildas-yum, burritos-yum, flauta-yum, sopapillas-yum...it's all YUM
4. Peach pie. Especially when it's cold...the crust is all peachy slimy and the peaches are all soft and yummy.
5. Really chocolatey cake with fluffy white frosting. The frosting comes in a powder from a box entitled "Fluffy White Frosting" (how appropriate, eh?) and you just add some boiling water to it and whip it to death. It is Yum-Me! Add that to the chocolate cake...and oh my goodness...heaven!! (Ashlee, remember you RA's made this for me for my bday my first year as the dorm chick...you girls rocked!)
That was fun.
and speaking of pizza dip...when ya gonna send me that fab recipe???????? i'm dying here....
i would also like to request the recipe to pizza dip...maybe you should just post it on here...
okay...well i live in the sticks (not complaining....just stating facts) and so my eating out options are seriously limited...so, i am going to give my top five places i loved to eat while living in manhattan...and man do i miss them!
1. Chipotle....love that gigantic burrito....enough said
2. Early Edition...fantastic breakfast place.....super good!
3. El Cazador....even though they shut down for awhile because none of the employees had green cards! whoops!
4. Say Cheese Deli (even though it's closed now)...super sandwich place that served pringles with your sandwich and had some of the greatest oatmeal scotchie cookies (which i have the recipe for)
and last but not least....
5. Rock-a-Belly Bar & Deli....oh my. so delicious...and you can substitute the potato chips for chips and queso...mmmmm
yep, now i'm hungry too!
1.) Pasteles (which I always describe as the Puerto Rican tamale, made from all sorts of root veggies, like yuca & yams, along with green Spanish olives and marinated chicken. YUMMMY! And, a huge Christmas tradition)
2.) Dolmas (grape leaves stuffed with rice and herbs - partially because they're yummy and healthy, but also because they always remind me of my Dad's stories about how he and my Grandma would go to Wrigley Field and pick the leaves from the grapevines outside the stadium to bring home & cook)
3.) Chic-fil-a (because they always have flowers on their tables & their radios are set to K*love & Jman and the whole family love it too! Oh, and the cows - can't forget the cows!)
4.) Tembleque (a Spanish coconut pudding, w/lime and cinnamon)
5.) Brunch/Brinner, featuring egg beater omelettes, peach french toast, grapefruit wedges and hot cocoa!
Wow, this was not a well thought through plan.... I have been hungry all morning reading these fabulous top five lists......
Heidi, all those places bring back such great memories...
and as far as the pizza dip goes....don't know if I am ready to give that recipe to the whole blogging world. But, since both of you won a contest I might could include it in your prize package....let me think about that one!
Ah, this one is easy for me.
1. Any Mexican food - seriously. I don't know what people eat who don't live in areas with great Mexican restaurants.
2. Joe T. Garcia's hot sauce with chips (I guess it could fall into Mexican food, but I eat so much of it that I think it needs a separate category!)
3. Pancakes, especially ones with granola and/or bananas mixed in with the batter
4. My mom's red velvet cake
5. Chicken Bai Grapow from Royal Thai in Dallas (my #1 missed restaurant!)
A contest that doesn't require much brain power...I'm in!
1. my chocolate chip cookies
2. my pumpkin pie
3. potatoes (in practically any form)
4. samosas
5. our secret family recipe sugar cookies
Now what's for lunch?
How am I ever going to choose a winner???
Oh Amy.... you have to go here (http://magnoliapancakehaus.com/pages/menu.htm) now that you live in SA. I had the oatmeal cookie pancakes and will never be the same!
No wonder I wasn't very happy with my chicken and vegetables at lunch. Thanks Smashlee....
Lisa I know the feeling...I wanted to make banana pudding for lunch! :)
1. Indian food made by my father.
2. I agree with the "anything Mexican" rule - except actual Mexicans, that's wrong.
Including, but not limited to: Lindsey's chicken enchiladas . . . mmm. . .
Sorry, I think I may have gotten some drool on your post.
Chipotle Burrito Bowl (would be Pancheros if I was still in Nebraska) - black beans, chicken, pico de gallo AND green salsa, cheese, and guacamole, with those delicious chips. Best when shared lest ye enter a food coma and not emerge for the rest of the afternoon.
3. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.
4. The Upstream Brewery in Omaha - either a burger made with real Omaha Steaks ground beef (a concept lost on Californians) or BBQ Chicken Pizza.
5. I can't decide between:
- an all-time fave, Chinese food from House of Hunan in Omaha (it will change your standard for Chinese - don't even talk to me about PF Changs)
- a current obsession: frozen yogurt. Four new places have opened up here in the last year where you fill up your bowl with frozen yogurt and select toppings from a veritable cornucopia, and then they charge you by the ounce. Yes, that's right, not by the topping, etc, by the ounce. WOOHOO!
oh man, I totally forgot one of my favorites. dinosaur fries!
tater tots shaped like prehistoric, savage beasts, what could make you feel more alive?
Man, on man...this one was so tough to decide on a winner. I wanted to sample everyone's favorites and then decide, but I guess that would be an expensive and lengthy process.
Hmmmm.... the deciding factor was a last minute addition. Any grown, married man who is willing to say dinosaur fries are one of his all time favorite foods, probably deserves to take home the prize!
Congrats Raj!!! I'll get your information from amber...
good job raj!! maybe she'll send you some dino fries!
yes!!!
thanks, ashlee. don't get hurricaned too badly.
good game, everyone. *note: this is not the kind of "good game" where i smack you all on the rear end afterwards - we're not that kind of friends yet.*
