Dinner, If I'm Feeling Ambitious
I have the whole night ahead of me, and I just want to relax at home and cook a really nice dinner. Anybody have any great ideas for some slow-cooked meals that I could put together? The more simmering, marinating, roasting the better! I just have no idea what I feel like making!
Dinner in the Lower East Side, NYC?
i've been trapped at Cake Shop working all afternoon, and am starting to get awful hungry. Is there a nice place to have a quiet dinner around here? I'd like to not have to walk too far, but still be able to eat something nice.
Last minute dinner party!
New Years Eve is suddenly happening at my apartment, including dinner for 15 or so people. It's going to be a potluck, but as the hostess I feel like I should have a couple of good things ready for everybody. (some appetizers and a main dish maybe?) Anybody got any good ideas for easy dishes that can feed a lot of hungry mouths? I don't want to end up just making my fall-back standards, since the night feels kind of special. :)
Leftover Management Skills!
I've found myself with a potato abundance recently, and (I confess) I'm not the hugest fan of them. Does anybody have any good recipes that cleverly conceal their use of potato? I'd like to be good about using my leftovers.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 27: One Man's Honest Attempt at Portion Control
I was going to drop you a comment about exercise, but I see I've been beat to the punch. Have you ever though about the "accidental work-out"? Dog-walking, bike-riding, hiking, swimming, etc? I find it's much more satisfying than a gym for a lot of reasons, although others would argue against me for its overall effectiveness. Hah.
Amy's Bread Cafe: A Go-To Sandwich Spot. What's Yours?
re:Jas126--They are!
I love Amy's! I am fortunate enough to work right next to the Chelsea Market and I go there constantly. Amy's is wonderful, and the folks behind the counter are always great.
Cook the Book: 'Sweety Pies'
My best friend in college made blueberry pie from scratch (the crust, the innards, the works) from blueberries she picked herself, illegally, by scrambling underneath a hillside fence and perusing the hill for them. She almost died doing it on more than one occasion, but the pies were ceaselessly delicious and prevail as the best in show to this day!

woah! these suggestions are all amazing. Pumpkinbear wins, though! I'm making myself some pizza tonight! :)
Van Halen Lyrics on Cheese Packaging
hahaha! I go to that grocery store every single day--literally. It's a block down from my work and I spend more time there than in my cubicle. I recognized the packaging and font in the photo before I read the blurb, and I'm not at all surprised that the guys who run that cheese department would have thrown down some Van Halen lyrics.
Eating for Two: Peanut Butter Cookies
Haha! This debate is my life. I literally cannot even SMELL peanuts without wanting to eat an entire jar of peanut butter. I'm serious...my friends have expressed concern on numerous occasions about my addiction. :\

TORTIERE! It is an amazing French-Canadian Meat Pie and my mother makes it every Christmas Eve! It simmers ground beef, veal and lamb together for hours with spices and fills a buttery double pie crust and is baked to perfection! OMG!

The most memorable pie for me would probably have to be when I first got to have a piece of chocolate cream pie at Thanksgiving. I had been allergic to dairy and finally outgrew it. I was thrilled to get to finally get to try it!

Fried Apricot Pie at Pat's Barbeque in Fort Worth. Back when I was in high school a certain group of us from the nearby neighborhood used to hang out there after school and on weekends. Barbecue bologna sandwiches and fried pies were our staples along with the fountain-made cokes and 7-Up's to which you could get vanilla or cherry syrup added. But the apricot fried pie was the most delicious pie I have ever eaten...the crisp pie crust was tender and not greasy and was overloaded with pure mashed redolent apricots...that is all you could taste along with the subtle unctiousness of butter. I have never tasted a pie purer in flavor since.

Pecan Pie...When I was young I always thought it looked gross...but once I tried one that my mom made, I was hooked!

The most memorable pie I ate was an apple pie in Oak Glen, California at the pick-your-own fruit orchards there that was piled high with delicious fruit.

The Key Lime Pie at the Colonial House at Busch Gardens in Florida. They have the BEST and I've tasted a lot of these everywhere I travel. This one was creamier and yummier. I need their recipe.
