Maybe because the holidays are coming, but I find myself thinking about food more.
Course, my budget and actual time to cook is limited. So present the "What you wish you were eating" thread.
feel free to post recipes, pics of food, or just reminence about food gone by.
For me, I've been craving a good sandwich lately.
I've been missing eating a good Francesinha (http://www.petiscos.com/receita.php4?recid=591&catid=6). And I want to try a cuban (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_11911,00.html) and a muffulatta (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_26449,00.html).
And I'm dying for some good bacalhau com natas (http://www.petiscos.com/receita.php4?recid=256&catid=10).

What does that food have to do with the holidays? Holidays in Portugal?
As far as traditional food goes, we just had chocolate chip cake last night for my roommate's birthday party. It's my grandma's recipe, the best birthday cake in the world. I love it when birthdays come around in my family. (Pudding in the mix kind of cake--so yummy.)
Sorry, not quite a "wish I were eating" kind of thing.

hey, "what does food have to do with the holidays?" WHAT? Hello, thanksgiving is ABOUT eating. there's a reason it's my favorite, y'know. Then christmas cookies, fruitcake, wassail, the Christmas ham. Man. The holidays are food.
I get two thanksgivings this year too. My parents are throwing a feast next saturday, and then there's the big bash my in-laws always throw on Tday itself. *I* wish it was Thanksgiving already.

"What does that food have to do with the holidays?" You mean you don't associate the Holidays and food? :o
the two are completely inseperatable in my mind.

Currently, I'm eating pumpkin pie. Yum yum yum. But I wish I was eating the yummy ham my wife makes.

Yeah, well in two weeks I go home for a month. And you know what that means, right?
It means a month of eating my mother's Stir Frys, and her cakes, and her cookies, which are the best cookies, and eggs, I mean I can do eggs but not like she can, and Waffles with Ice Cream if my grandmother is around, since she cooks them best, and I can go down to Dorrigo to my grandmother's for a few days, and hopefully the cherry farm nearby will have some really nice cherries for sale this year, which you buy the day they were picked and are awesome, and and and I can go to the Dorrigo pub and eat there because the food is surprisngly good.

Um, I said what does *that* food have to do with the holidays. I was wondering what your particular association is between those foods and the holidays, because I'm not familiar with those foods.
-
sandwiches are definitely associated with the holidays, particularly with the number football games and such. I don't really watch football, but I like the food.
And bacalhau is a hoiday food in several countries and in some communities in the US.
But this thread isn't suppose to just be about holiday food.

Mmm, I want anything that Cafe Pierpont serves, especially those chicken things I can never remember the names of and their salsa bar.

So apparently, beef is a good stress-reliever.

(Why this article is in MSN's women's section is beyond me. I guess us men just don't get stressed-out.)
Makes me want a well-prepared fillet minion.

/me demands more beef for dinner.
I think it's not that men don't get stressed. We just don't tend, as a gender, to do a lot of the reading up about it. It's too touchy-feely for us.

Earlier tonight, I wished I was eating homemade chili.
And now I am.
Yum! :D
-
A scone with strawberry jam and double devon cream,... and some lapsong souchong tea...
-
A big sandwich...filled with pepporoni, salami, pineapple, all sorts of cheese and covered in pizza sauce.
On garlic bread.
Yup, super healthy ;)
-
I could really do with some sushi right now....
-
If it wasn't going to be at 6 PM when I leave this place, I'd *get* Sushi. As it is it will have to be burgers. I did have the choice of sushi for lunch, but had a Katsu Don instead. As much as I like Sushi, I was hungry, and this was more filling. it was the worst Katsu Don I've eaten all year, which means it was pretty good, kinda like bad pizza.
