What do your customers really want? It's the single most important question a restaurant owner can ask — yet you could spend your entire career chasing the answer. Even with instant feedback on Twitter, Yelp!, Facebook and similar sites, it's nearly impossible to sift constructive criticism from the endless pages of noise. In an effort … More »
Man on the Street: Why pizza?
Some folks are into football. Others are into baseball. Plenty are into NASCAR. I'm into pizza. I know the players, their statistics, what gear they use and where they worked before being "traded" to another team … errr pizzeria. It's an obsession that quietly crept into my life and took control over the past decade. … More »
Man on the Street: The Name Game
Imagine a world in which doctors disagree on terminology for common procedures. Or what if plumbers used the same name for different sized pipes and connectors? Houses would flood, limbs would be accidentally amputated — there would be absolute mayhem. The pizza world isn't in imminent danger, but I've noticed an increase in misused terminology … More »
Man on the Street: Pizza toppers — Shake it up
I recently witnessed a serious crime at my local corner pizzeria. Upon receiving his slice, a customer proceeded to mindlessly dump the contents of every spice shaker within reach onto its glistening surface. Ever since pizza infiltrated American soil in the 1900's folks have been customizing their slices with an array of powders and flakes, … More »
Man on the Street: New pizzeria wish list
The wait is finally over. It has been nearly four months since I first noticed construction two blocks from my apartment in a relatively quiet Brooklyn neighborhood. It's not that we don't have pizza nearby — there are at least two slice shops within a three-block radius. But this new spot holds incredible potential to … More »
Man on the Street: Expand Your Reach
I used to fear technology. Part of my problem was that I assumed every new gizmo would be a passing phase. It's even worse with digital media — I avoided Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare like the plague because I didn't want to put the time into developing profiles only to watch them become obsolete in … More »
Behind The Curtain: A judge's look at International Pizza Challenge
You make the best pizza in town. Your ingredients are fresh, you have the perfect oven and nobody will ever guess what's in your secret sauce. People always say you should enter a pizza competition so you can bring home a trophy and legitimize their claim to friends that yours is the best pizza in … More »
Man on the Street: The Latest Topping Trends
What's the strangest pizza you've ever enjoyed? I'll never forget an experience I had in an old-school pizzeria in Trenton, New Jersey. The shop, Papa's Tomato Pies, is the kind of place that would have you arrested for requesting pineapple on your pizza. That's why I was shocked to see a pie on their menu … More »
Man on the Street: "When in Rome"
There's no such thing as Italian pizza. Allow me to clarify: there is no single Italian style of pizza. That would be like saying there's only one style in the United States. Instead, there's a patchwork of variations based on different regional histories and ingredient availability. We're already familiar with Neapolitan pizza, but New York … More »
2011 December: Man on the Street

... company of a number of toddlers who didn't sleep and whinged and cried throughout the night. One little tyke went to sleep an hour before we landed and was still out cold when it was time to disembark. Off the plane again at Santiago and a 6 hour wait before our next flight to Guayaquill via Quito in Ecuador. Again we had to run the maze of customs. Managed to take a photo of the country surrounding the airport from the window ...

We later discovered that it was the northern most point of the Malecon but it was raining, cool and we were hungry. The only apparent dining establishment was at some sort of game arcade/food court. We couldn't ...
Wasted day at police station; On to Guayaquil
... The whole journey took 7.5 hours, but I've arrived in Guayaquil now. I'm actually impressed with the city as I'd heard only bad things before and it looks a lot nicer than I had expected. I got a taxi from the bus terminal to Dreamkapture Hostel, and I love this place. There is a really nice place to chill outside on a hammock, a little pool to use, and best of all, my room has air conditioning! I haven't had to worry about that ...
Wandering the Malecon
Headed in the opposite direction along the Malecon and
passed the watch tower before walking through a shopping centre located under
the park area. Then we found the old glass market building but they had a horse
exhibition on there so we passed this up and started to wind our way back.
After another caf� break we returned to our hostel and after snacks headed to
the modern museum and art gallery known as MACC which was at the northern ...

Mike Hope posts beefcake photos to land acting job
The Buzz: Pull up your pants
The muscular Mill Creek representative shows off his sculpted and oiled physique in a shirtless photo on IMDb, a database of those involved in the movie industry. There are 14 other pictures of him including a couple in which he's fully clothed.
Hope, a Seattle cop, played a police officer in "Vampire Soul" a low-budget flick partly filmed in Snohomish County last year and expected to be released this year.
Hope, 37, insisted the photos are not doctored or digitally enhanced – which other Washington lawmakers are known to do. And the former personal trainer said he's done it with weights and cardio and without the aid of any muscle-maximizing products
"There's no touch-up. It's all me," Hope said, his voice brimming with pride.
Stripping down and striking a pose shouldn't hurt his political career either, he said.
Voters in the 44th Legislative District who like what they see of his politics enough to elect him three times are going to get a lot more to look at with these photos.
For those who know me, he said, "that's a routine outfit I wear in the summer."
Hope did lose a 2011 bid for Snohomish County executive and is now eying the job of county sheriff next. Again, no concern the photos might weigh him down if he applies or runs for the job.
"I do understand there is a potential" for backlash, he said. "Nobody's made any comments. Nobody's asked me to remove the photos."

OAKLAND, Calif. — Bus riders held a protest outside an Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District board meeting in Oakland last week, demanding a moratorium on service cuts for at least three years and four-hour, unlimited-use transfer passes, KTVU.com reports. AC Transit has reduced service by 15 percent this year, cutting hours on 18 lines and completely cutting two other lines. For the full story, click here.
The CTfastrak transit system provides direct service to and from Waterbury, Cheshire, Southington, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and Manchester with routes that take advantage of the bus-only CTfastrak roadway.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.

Right when you walk into the gym at the Rec Center it is clear that there is a gender divide. Typically the men are towards the right in the free weight and bench press area, while the women are towards the left with the aerobic equipment and assisted weight machines. Unfortunately, it seems out of the norm when an individual of the opposite gender crosses over into that other section. This subtle move takes a lot of confidence and should be applauded!

Backup water heater?
We have a new tank and heater combination ("indirect"), that provides both domestic and the heating hot water.
The heater is labeled as "95% efficiency", which, I'm guessing, is what makes it somewhat, uhm, fragile...
Last week some part of the heater failed and had to be replaced. We did not have to pay for it, as it was under the (extended) warranty, but we did not like spending 4 days with out heat and hot water.
Heat was bearable âÂ" it was not that cold yet and our back-up heating (wood-burning stove, electric floors in the bathrooms) helped too. But not washing ourselves, clothes, dishes âÂ" or doing it with water heated on the stove âÂ" was rather annoying...
This got me wondering, what sort of back-up we could install to not have this problem again...
I can see to major alternatives: a separate heater heating up the same water-tank (even if less efficiently), or several smaller "point-of-use" (gas or electric) systems.
A single secondary heater, that could take over the responsibilities of our existing one, seems most appealing. Especially, if we could have one using an alternative source of fuel (either oil or propane) âÂ" to also be prepared for any interruption in natural gas supply.
Our existing system consists of a 200 gallon tank coupled with Peerless Purefire PF-210 (167 BTUH) âÂ" six adults, a toddler, and a dog live in a 5500 feetò house. The backup need not be so powerful, a 100 BTUH tops âÂ" would be nice to fit it in the existing boiler room and hook up to the existing tank...
Can this be done with reasonable amount of effort?
There are many 100k btuh tankless heaters on the market that could probably do what you need to do.
That said, it might make more sense to find out why it took four days to get your boiler fixed, and address that issue.
Any part can be moved around the globe in 24 hours.
I think that you are wise to have backup heat... I'm just not sure that a backup boiler is the answer. What if a pump goes out?
Any part can be moved around the globe in 24 hours.
Well, it went like this:
The boiler failed early on Sunday morning.
By about 11am on Sunday the installer's people were in trying to revive it.
Shortly after noon they declared, they'll need to replace the part, that they don't have and so need to order.
Monday the installer's expert guy showed up to confirm the findings of the (presumably, less experienced) colleagues.
Shortly after Monday after noon he confirmed it and his boss proceeded to order the part from his supplier in NJ.
Some time between 3pm and 4pm the supplier placed the order with another supplier in PA (don't ask me, why the installer could not telephone the other guys directly)
On Tuesday afternoon the NJ supplier discovered, that their PA supplier did not ship the part yet âÂ" it is going out today, ground shipping.
On Wednesday late afternoon the part finally arrives and the original installer sends their expert to install it.
Wednesday evening the boiler begins to work again.
Yes, next time this happens we'll insist, the installer sends someone to Pennsylvania to pick up the missing part same day, it is only about 90-minutes drive (in one direction). Moreover, though I resent being without heat for 4 days, I realize, that if the weather was really cold, they would've sent someone themselves. But we were in no danger of freezing âÂ" just inconvenienced, and the installer were hurting over the $500 cost of the part, that they had to absorb, and so they did not try too hard :-(
But, obviously, I want this to be far less dramatic next time... There are many 100k btuh tankless heaters
Well, our gas pressure is too low for a natural gas tankless heater. Plus, if we are installing backup, we may as well prepare for losing natural gas supply as well. I suppose, we could look for a propane- or oil-burning tankless system, but, I thought, we already have a tank anyway and may as well us it... I'm just not sure that a backup boiler is the answer. What if a pump goes out?
Uhm, what pump?
I am new to this forum and don't know if this is the right place to post this (I'm fairly sure it's not) so please redirect me/it as appropriate. We have an MBS (Serbian) cast iron multi-fuel stove. We are in the west of Ireland and we burn mainly turf. We get bad storms in the winter. We bought it last winter but it only arrived in the spring. We can cook on and in it and it gives us a good supply of hot water and heats ten radiators. It's changed our lives! But... when the electricity goes, the pump won't kick in and we're screwed - have to basically put the fire out. We sometimes lose electricity for several days in the winter if the storms are very bad. We are quite remote. Please can anyone advise on installing a backup pump with a small generator. My husband is brilliant and technological stuff and mechanics and plumbing so would probably install it himself. Thanks.
Lucy: On this side of the pond, I think the common solution is to have a standby-generator. One can get a unit capable of providing all the power in the home and have it permanently installed, or get a 'portable' unit (it has wheels) and operate only those loads that one would use in an emergency.
There are models of the larger units that can operate on petrol, diesel, propane or natural gas (thats what we call it). Smaller models here would be petrol.
My friend who loses power a lot uses a 7.5KW generator and can run most of his house if he is careful not to load it down too much (electric water heater, AC). That includes his well pump, septic pump, refrigeration, lights and other outlets.

When I run this file Windows gets the gets the generic "This program has stopped responding" error message.
According to http://code.activestate.com/ppm/POE-Component-IRC/ it appears that it is compatible with my Perl version and version of Windows.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. I'd contact the developer on SourceForge but every time I report a but I get an error.

In-Line Water Heater for Whirlpool?
CamGMay 1, 2013
We're ordering a Trajet Belize 6061 2-person tub. It is available with an in-line water heater for $320 more. Is that worth it? I've never had a whirpool tub before so I don't know whether the we can just add hot water when it gets cold or not. The tub is 50-80 gallon capacity. Thanks

Enhancement of Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy with Electrochemical Deposition
Volume 47, Number 11 (Nov. 1993) Page 1742-1746
Fan, Qiang; Gohshi, Yohich
An electrodeposition preconcentration technique was used in conjunction with total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TRXRF) analysis. Fnhancement in sensitivity on the order of 103 was realized for the ions investigated here. In addition, x-ray scattering was reduced and a degree of selectivity was achieved by the electrodeposition. The results suggest that trace elemental analysis (sub-ppb level) with chemical speciation capability is feasible by using TRXRF with a conventional x-ray source.

I've loved Opus The Octopus from the first moment I saw the pattern, and Spiral420's project is exactly how mine would look if I'd had a chance to cast on… a Noro-underbelly!
The Brindled hat is a Woolly Wormhead classic – wearable and classic but with a nice stylistic twist. I love indigonightowl's color choice for her project.
The Krydda sweater is a winner – elegant and beautiful and quick to knit. Nephele has chosen a wonderful color, and it's coming along well. Can't wait to see it grow!
Twist Again is a terrific shawl – super for handspun, but just as good in commercial yarn, too. A not-too-challenging but entirely beautiful project. Ando has chosen a perfect color of handspun alpaca for hers…
The Nachfalter fingerless mitts are exactly what you need as the seasons change – fast and fun and warming without feeling too wintery.
Katdriver's third pair are green, and she's already working on a fourth… oh, to be on her holiday gift list!
And Gusto is another must-knit early fall accessory – not just because the result is beautiful… Look at Sonnydays' project
but also because of the fun in making your own "magic ball" from sock yarn leftovers.
I adore how Sherinik's Apiculturist crochet/knit combo scarf is coming along… the photo shows the difference in the motifs before and after blocking. (Yes, blocking *is* important!)

i have a buddy that did it and replaced the shelves with iron pipe frames and wood top. lowes cut the black pipe to spec for free so he just screwed everything together and added 2 shelves.
I might end up doing that when i get home. What did he cut it out with?? An axe???
he started VERY CAREFULLY from one side with a dremel and pulled the sheeting away to ensure there were no refrigerant lines running behind that wall. once he was sure he cut it all away with a jig saw i believe.
don't just start hacking at things, you may hit something valuable and make a nice, big paperweight.
ha...no hacking plans what-so-ever! Thanks for the ideas.

My Abstract of the iconic John Lennon, it is a struggle to try and paint something in a different style , but hey I quite enjoyed trying something different .
Painted on Rowney non cold press 140lbs paper
there's a darkness to this and yet a true joy in John's face~ Brilliant!
imagine! Wonderful as usual Paul! Stunning"
Another wonderful style, perspective and painting of John. You capture his essence perfectly Paul. Beautiful, emotive expression.
You've captured his rebellious nature in the colours you used, that he had in his music. It's good to get out of our comfort zone ,and you have done well in your different style Paul. xx
beautiful work! I like your different style very much!
John often times embraced the darkness, that side shows in this portrait Paul,
lovely work Paul – wonderful capture of his essence.
What beautiful work, Paul, you've captured his persona in your brush strokes and paint colors – once again! Love his happy eyes!
I can imagine (scuse the pun) that John would be suitably impressed with this Paul, tis another stunner :)
wonderful work,love it.

If You're Thinking of Living In/Hamilton Heights
West Harlem's Architectural Gems
By GENE RONDINARO
Published: September 22, 1996
ON weekends the sounds of hammers, saws and sanders can be heard for blocks along the side streets of Hamilton Heights in western Harlem. In long-neglected, century-old brownstone, limestone and brick town houses a new generation of upper-class minority families has returned to restore the homes and the neighborhood.
''I love the sounds of construction,'' said Willie Kathryn Suggs, a real estate broker and a prime mover in the rehabilitation. ''It's music to my ears. In fact, every time I see a Dumpster, my heart skips a beat. It's almost like having a new baby on the block.''
Although newer residents tend to be young couples either with or planning children, others have returned to the neighborhood after establishing themselves in their fields.
''We're talking about doctors, lawyers, architects, entertainers and business executives who could well afford to live anywhere in the city or the suburbs,'' Ms. Suggs said. ''But they are here, renovating their homes and taking an active part on their blocks and the community at large.''
Known by many New Yorkers as the neighborhood surrounding the uptown campus of City College, Hamilton Heights offers some of the most architecturally significant properties to be found anywhere in the city.
Time-worn but structurally sound four-story brownstones, limestones, rowhouses and town houses in Italianate, French Provincial and Gothic styles stand as evidence to a time when the neighborhood was envisioned as an upper-class enclave to be connected to the factories and working-class neighborhoods of lower Manhattan by the newly constructed IRT.
Architects like Henri Forchaux, William E. Mowbray and Neville & Bagge hoped to lure upper-class Manhattanites to their creations high atop the hill -- later to be known as Sugar Hill -- where the good life could be had and on a clear day one could see the Manhattan skyline, the Palisades, the Harlem and East Rivers and Long Island Sound.
The neighborhood declined in the 1950's and 1960's, with many of the homes converted into multifamily apartments and rooming houses and in some cases abandoned.
In the mid-1980's, helped in part by new Federal regulations that forced banks to offer mortgage loans in the areas in which they took deposits, the neighborhood began a revival as homes were bought at bargain prices and renovations began.
ALTHOUGH the precise boundaries of Hamilton Heights are a matter of debate, some residents place them at 155th Street on the north, St. Nicholas Avenue on the east, 135th Street on the south and the Hudson River on the west.
Once thought of as part of Washington Heights but now a neighborhood of Harlem, Hamilton Heights takes its name from the Federalist Alexander Hamilton, who maintained an estate there known as the Grange. The neighborhood is about five miles north of midtown Manhattan in one of the most densely populated sections of the city.
The Hamilton Heights Historic District takes in about seven blocks bordered on its extremes by Amsterdam Avenue on the west, St. Nicholas Avenue on the east, 140th Street on the south and 145th Street on the north.
Block and civic organizations abound in this neighborhood of tree-lined streets, well-kept buildings and fierce community pride.
''This is a real old-fashioned neighborhood,'' said Robert King, an architect who grew up and still lives on Hamilton Terrace in the historic district. ''Everybody knows everybody else and we lend a hand whenever we can. When we see something we don't like, however, we can be highly vocal.''
Representative Charles B. Rangel, who represents the district in Congress, said: ''It is one of the most stable and well-kept areas of the city and they have a lot of residents in very high places. Even when I go there to do something like receive an award, I can't leave until I hear half a dozen complaints.''
The renovations and cohesiveness of the area have pushed home values up by nearly 43 percent, according to Ms. Suggs, who works out of her apartment on West 145th Street.
Fully renovated town houses in the historic district now fetch upward of $600,000, while unrenovated properties can still be bought at around $300,000.
Outside the historic district, which includes the blocks surrounding Riverside Drive and St. Nicholas Avenues, prices range from $249,000 for a four-story town house in need of extensive rehabilitation to around $450,000 for properties in better shape.
Co-ops and condominiums are few but when they become available they sell for $75,000 to $85,000, according to brokers. A large two-bedroom co-op at 435 Convent Avenue is being offered at $150,000. Two-bedroom condominiums at the four-apartment Sugar Hill Condominiums at 430 West 154th Street sell for $150,000 to $175,000.
Properties not under rent control or stabilization go from about $850 a month for a two-bedroom apartment to about $1,300 for a similar apartment on Hamilton Terrace or Convent Avenue in the historic district.
IN addition to its wealth of housing, the neighborhood also features several architecturally significant churches, including the Convent Avenue Baptist Church at 145th Street, Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church at 472 West 142d Street, St. Luke's Episcopal Church at Convent and 141st Street, St. James Presbyterian Episcopal Church at 409 West 141st Street and the Church of the Intercession at 155th Street and Riverside Drive.

White cabinets & formica counters?
We are hoping to build soon. I am drooling over kitchens here. :) We will probably have some sort of formica counter I assume because that's more than likely within our budget. I'm leaning toward white cabinets.
I love the look of tile backsplashes but I'm not sure if it will happen or not. Can a tile backsplash look nice with a formica counter top? I am clueless as you can probably tell. Can I get a large apron style (I think that's what they are called.) sink with a formica counter?
Is there something else that is an option that is around the same price?
My Mom has laminate counters with a quite inexpensive ceramic mosaic (less than $5 a square foot) back splash and it looks good and is holding up great.
There is a great thread going now (will be in the link below).
Kitchen design by Cincinnati Kitchen And Bath Formica Group
This link is to a handyman's website with white cabinets, laminate tops and tile backsplash.
Here is a link that might be useful: A Little Love for Laminate
We remodeled our kitchen and put in painted cabinets and laminate counters. We figured we can always change out the countertops, so made sure we had quality cabinets and spent some money on a larger window that I really wanted. Turns out that I really like our laminate, though, so I don't feel like I'll want to change it any time soon...that can be for the next owners!
There is a company that makes undermount sinks for laminate countertops...I think it's Karran? I don't know if they have an apronfront. We put in a large, single bowl stainless overmount.
Good luck!
You can go to the Formica or Wilsonart websites, and they do sell sinks directly on their site (at least Wilsonart does now that I'm trying to remember). They sell various types of sinks along with certain undermount ones if you want that look. They are all the solid surface type material though so if you don't like that they're are other options.
I really want an apron front sink, and if I do go the laminate route then I would probably get the Kohler Vault drop in apron sink. It's stainless steel and has a very low profile (not the big lip that drop in sinks usually have so you can actually sweep junk right into the sink). If you don't like SS then I did see some ceramic or maybe porcelain ones the other day when I was searching.
To see what's out there I just googled some sink websites, chose three, and then I looked at their top mount sinks. Different sites carry different brands and price points so that's why I'd look at a couple.
Good luck!
You're welcome TammyTE.
Here's the Kohler Vault Apron front sink I mentioned:
Modern Kitchen Sinks design by Other Metro Kitchen And Bath Fixtures Kohler
I stand corrected with the Karran sinks. I thought they just had a couple of composite sinks (from what I remember glossing through on the laminate site, but I just looked at their brochure (on their site where they recommend you start). They have a nice variety, and a stainless steel undermount apron front sink!
I hope this helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: Link for Karran-Undermount sinks just for laminate
The Ikea Domsjo apron sink is designed to be used with laminate counters. The sink is available in a double bowl or a smaller single bowl version.
Here is a link that might be useful: Domsjo Sink
Because I work for a laminate fabricator I need to tell you a few things.
#1..The cove area in a laminate back splash is important. It keep water from getting down between the countertop, wall and base cabinet. Yes you can tile down to the countertop if you choose to, but always keep in mind that there will be caulking between the surface of the countertop and tile. Caulking discolors, hold dirt, and can crack over time. You can always tile above the laminate back splash. Now, from designer's view....I like the tile look down to the countertop surface itself.
#2 Apron Under-mount sinks do not work in laminate countertops. You can select a topmount apron sink, but there really isn't a company that makes an apron under-mount sink for laminate.
#3) Karran under-mount sinks are specifically design to mount into laminate countertops. They are amazing!! They can come in the acrylic version to mount into laminate. Or if you prefer they have the Edge Series to mount into laminate tops too.
Below is the Karran sink link, however they are redoing the stainless steel line, and the stainless steel sink won't be available until late March or April 2013
Here is a link that might be useful: Karran Sinks
I would try really hard to avoid having the laminate backsplash strip. I think it looks cheesy to have tile over the strip. If you have to have it, then I would probably just paint the rest of the backsplash.
We have laminate with a tile BS, no strip. I think it looks pretty nice for laminate, but I'm not crazy about our edge, which is just a strip of wood that matches the cabinets. No issues with the caulk line where the BS and countertop meet, they used a clear grout and it hasn't discolored at all.
This is the only pic I have right now.
Our laminate is a brown pattern, it's not too busy looking and isn't trying to mimic natural stone or anything. Other than a few scratches (from not using a cutting board or something) it is is good shape. Our countertops are going on eight years now and are frequently abused. I love that I can clean them with windex or whatever and not worry. Just be sure not to scrub with the green backed sponges, ask me how I know :(
Thanks Olivesmom - Good to know it has worked for someone.
I just saw some pictures with laminate up higher on the wall. It looks thin and not the thick block resting on the counter. In the pics I've seen it is always the same color/pattern as the countertop. I wonder what it would look like if it was a different color/pattern. Has anyone seen this done?
I know this is a laundry room but just so you know what I am talking about.
Here is a link that might be useful: laminate back splash
caryscott, I love your mom's kitchen. I think I like the tile with laminate better than tile with granite when they are competing with each other.
OP if you go this route be sure to use epoxy grout (for stain resistance and easy cleaning) and caulk the interface between grout and countertop so you don't get cracks where the dissimilar materials meet. It is a beautiful look.

This would be true of any counter and tiled back splash - you always supposed to caulk the space between the counter and the tile (grout will crack) as mic111 indicates.
That's very generous of you. I see folks here all the time who managed to get a lot more (higher end materials) for what my Mom's budget was but I think we did a good job of getting an attractive finished product using less expensive materials. $$$ just don't seem to stretch as far in Canada.

A delicious potato casserole. It travels easily. The last time I made this for a pot luck, it was all gone before I even had a taste. Mine got the most beautiful golden crust on top. I make it with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup so the vegetarians can eat this.
I use French's French Fried Onions for the topping. Delicious! Just sprinkle them on and return to oven for 5 minutes. My daughter loves this!
