Food & Drink - 12 February 2007

To cook for my honey on Valentines Day! I'm making a nice cold seafood platter (lobster/scallops/shrimp/crab with sauces) to start as well as Penne with a Vodka sauce. Does anybody have any suggestions for a nice hot and light soup, that would go good with these dishes? I thought about Gazpacho, but think I need to make something hot after the cold seafood. Nothing creamy either as the Pasta is rich enough. Garlic soup, french onion, striatchetella (sp?)?

Thank-you for any suggestions you might have.

would be significantly different if in a pinch, I used a dry red instead. If so, how would it differ?

Ehrenfelser come to mind. Lush, seductive and aromatic.

How can I jazz up the usual buttered popcorn? Do you have any tried and true favorites? I'm open to spicy, sweet, or savory topping varieties.

I first felt that I did not want to eat meat when I was very small at age 5.

My family were big meat eaters. My family supported it and were very nice and would make veggie meals. What made me stop? I remember seeing all the veins in my chicken wing and seeing some veins in my arm. It was the cincher.

Then I ate meat again, I remember at age 10 because my teachers were concerned at school and they made a big to-do. I never liked it and could only eat it when it was unrecognizable. Never from a bone.

But I stopped again at 15 to 30.

Anyway, those are the nitty gritty details. I haven't had meat in 15 years. What about you?

I was kind of wondering if anyone has a similar experience.

Thanks and take care.

Some people say it's the length of time they are boiled, some say it is due to the age of the egg. Anyone know the correct scientific answer?

I left tunafish salad out with a lid on it at about 65 degrees room temp. It has hard boiled eggs in it. I left it in the kitchen for about 5 hrs.

I am trying to make or buy the type of sauce that is usually served with samosas in Indian restaurants. It is green & spicy. Any ideas? I thought it might be a chutney but most of them on the shelves at the grocery store are fruit chutneys and what I'm looking for is not fruity.

I am looking for a fool-proof way to make baked spaghetti. I've had it at a restaurant-Fazoli's-and it was basically spaghetti in a dish covered in the sauce mixture and covered with mozzarella cheese. I've looked at recipes online and didn't like how it was all put together. So, I'm asking can I just make spaghetti, cover it in mozzarella cheese and bake it? Would this work?

Hey, it's almost Mardi Gras, so I figured this would be a topical question.

I know the baby is supposed to represent the baby Jesus, but why do they put it in and what does it mean if you're the person who got the baby in your piece?
