What's your specialty?

I typically let James McNair tinker and perfect. Some of my favorites of his are chicken curry & eggplant parmigiana (he's found a way to bake instead of fry the eggplant that makes it less fat but still delicious). If I'm looking for a Southern comfort food, I turn to Southern Living.

YOhio, if you really own the crepes, can you please post the recipe? I love eating those things. Where can I get a crepe maker? Sounds very delish.

4 Eggs
1 Cup Milk
1 Cup Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cube butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract*

Mix cold wet, sift dry then mix together, then mix in the melted butter. Heat a non-stick skillet to a pretty high temp and pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter in. As soon as the batter hits the skillet, pick it up then tip and swirl it to enlarge the size of the crepe. I usually use one hand to pour the batter and the other to hold the skillet off the burner as I'm pouring. When the edges kind of lift, turn it quickly and fry the other side. Because I like my crepes a little more thin they rip easily, so I usually use my hands to pick it up and flip it. The first couple of crepes are always a pain and turn out crappy, but once your skillet gets going and you find a rhythm the rest will turn out great.

*This really isn't necessary, but I used it once for fun and have used it ever since.

Have you ever used a crepe maker? I find they make uniform crepes more easily, but I'm probably a kitchen simpleton.

I refuse to use a crepe maker until Zojirushi puts one to market.

They have one, but it isn't fuzzy logic. It is just traditional logic.

Well, I am famous (within a half-mile radius) for my smoked ribs and pecan caramels.

Alfredo without cream?

I would have turned it into clam spaghetti. That's the point. I'd add olive oil too.

I had no idea you lived in a retirement home.

Butter and egg yolks, what could be better than that?

While my wife is considered the baking expert in the family (though no longer running her business), when it comes time for chocolate chip cookies, I step in.

I also make a mean waffle.

Please post if you don't mind sharing. I'd love a good waffle recipe. I'd really love a good malted waffle recipe.

Please share the enchilada recipe if you really are making enchiladas, not ground beef/shredded chicken and cream of chicken soup casseroles wrapped in a tortilla.

So my mom made the best authentic enchiladas I've ever had. Since she died I've scoured every Mexican restaurant around me trying to find anything close to her recipe. No luck. My dad and I have experimented with her recipe for years now, and they never taste quite like hers. I gave up trying a couple years ago, to be honest, and I keep it as one of the secrets of this mortal life that I'll find out about when I die (like how I'm going to ask Lucy Mack Smith where in the hades they got the name "Don Carlos" from). Personally I think my mom was doing something different than the recipe, like as if somewhere along the way she had changed something, and hadn't noted it on her recipe.

I'll bust out her recipe cards when I'm at my parents' in California next week, and I'll post the exact recipe for you.

No problem. I'll have to pull the recipe when I get home tonight.

Sorry, but I can't just let you post this with no follow up.

I demand a recipe.

If it were possible to catch an Angel or some other celestial being and slice open its veins, cheesecake would pour out all over the floor.

You aren't allowed to demand recipes until I get the hot and sour recipe.
