The latest season (#17) of Top Chef started a week and a half ago. We’re watching it and I really miss old-time AV Club® write-ups and the comments that ensued. I don’t have the skills to start/maintain a good weekly … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread goes Top Chef 3/29
We’re fortunate to have plenty of storage in our house and always keep a fairly well-stocked pantry. Illinois, among other states, is enacting (enforcing?) a Shelter in Place order and grocery stores are staying open. I resisted the urge to … Continue reading The Sunday Food Thread is Sheltering in Place 3/22
Any experiences with panicked hoarders/hoarding due to COVID-19? Wednesday night after leaving an event I wanted some ice cream so I stopped at a local grocery store around 9:45pm expecting to buzz in and out with my treasure only to … Continue reading Hoarders? Sunday Food Thread 3/15
I know it’s a little early for the big summer road trip season, spring break isn’t even here yet, but I guess I’m feeling the itch for some traveling (corona virus be damned). What do you do for trips? Do … Continue reading Road Trip. Sunday food thread hits the road, 3/8
So what are you today? Continue reading You are what you eat Sunday Food Thread 3/1
Don’t have much to write about today. It was my wife’s birthday yesterday and we met her oldest son in the (Chicago) north side Chinatown (really more SE Asian). Bought a bunch of things at a market and decided to … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 2/23
Did you celebrate V-Day or did you take a personal day? Most importantly what did you eat to either celebrate being in a relationship or celebrate not being in a relationship? We don’t celebrate holidays so it was a usual … Continue reading Late Valentines Sunday Food Thread 2/16
As a child I was a terribly picky eater (sorry mom), I came out of my shell when I went away to college. I pretty much survived on peanut butter and jelly (grape only) and cheese sandwiches. I would eat … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 2/9
It’s Super Bowl Sunday and as of this writing I’m grateful for the bowl of matzo ball soup in front of me right now. I’ve been sick all week so not thinking much about food, let alone a giant party … Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday Food Thread 2/2
Those of you who have pets, do you give them people food? We don’t because we think our cats are already plump enough and letting them clean up the ice cream bowls will only encourage bad habits. If you don’t … Continue reading People food or Pet food? Sunday Food Thread 1/26
I’m a blank slate today as far as discussion prompts go. I’ve certainly been eating this week but nothing is sticking out enough for me to write about. We did make homemade pizzas one night, they were basically a vehicle … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 1/19

It’s a double-whammy today. Not only am I uninspired to write about anything, I’m also uninspired about what to eat today. Often this means I’ll eat a bowl of cereal because it’s pretty much the fastest way I can get … Continue reading The Food Thread Is Uninspired 12/14
I don’t have an idea for a topic today, but as yesterday was Tom Waits’ 70th birthday and his song Chocolate Jesus name drops Abba-Zabba (among others) I figured why not a favorite candy thread? Tell us your stories of … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread, 12/8
The header is what we served, I guess we didn’t write a dessert menu but we had pumpkin pie, pecan chocolate pie, cheesecake, and banana chocolate chip bread ( a guest brought it). We had two food threads on the … Continue reading Thanksgiving Recap, Sunday Food Thread 12/1

What’s your favorite/most used/most loved electric kitchen appliance?

Electric version
Inspired by Rex Reilly’s post earlier in the week with recipes for nanaimo bars, which was the first I’d heard of them, I want to know if any of you have region-specific delicacies that you want to brag about or … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 11/10
