Well, "Free-Form" means that the file on my computer labeled "AOSHQ Food Thread Ideas" is empty.

But....I have been looking for the word that describes the sensation of being reminded of an event or place from one's childhood by a smell or taste. There has to be a word, because English is the greatest, most descriptive language in the history of man.
But if there isn't....please help me invent it.
And....Because Andy apparently doesn't love us any more.....Here is a Gun of The Week:

I had these stuffed chiles last night, with grilled hanger steak that had been brushed with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, and then finished with Chalupa sauce mixed with butter. It was easy, fantastic, and a perfect entree into the summer grilling season.
6 large fresh poblano chiles, roasted and peeled*
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
12 ounces (about 2-1/2 cups) unpeeled yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/3″ cubes
1-1/4 cups coarsely grated sharp white cheddar
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
Toast cumin seeds in a small skillet until slightly darkened and aromatic, about 1-2 minutes.
Cook potatoes in salted boiling water until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool.
In a bowl toss potatoes with grated cheddar, cumin seeds, oregano and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Slice each chile down one side, remove seeds and stuff with potato cheese filling.
Place in a baking dish and roast in a hot oven for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
* Roast chiles over a hot grill until skin is blackened. Remove and place in a bag and let steam in bag for a few minutes and skin will peel off. You could also do this under the broiler.

And what the hell is this spurious "gun of the week?!?!!?!?"
Clearly, the weekend staff are in charge of the blog. Harumph.

Sense memory? It's a phrase instead of a word, but I think it's what you mean.

Crack 5 eggs in a non-stick pan over med heat
Pepper to taste
Lightly scramble the eggs with a spatuala
When the eggs still have white and yellow parts, mix in a couple of spoonfuls of pesto.
Stir a bit
Let them cook a little longer then you normally would to get the pesto flavors going.
Serve.
Awesome, had some pancetta heated int he same pan, a little tomato sauce, and toast with it for wifey.

I guess Thousand Island is ok, that is if you are some kind of savage who wasn't brought up right. And mustard? I thought we were talking Ruebens, not something buy from a vendor at a ballpark.
Russian dressing is a must for any civilized person.

Also I am currently grilling asparagus. It is teh yum.
Just marinate in your favorite Italian Dressing and throw it on the grill. Check in and turn it.
It's ready when it gets limp.
( That phrase on this blog aught to bring out some comments.)

I don't think I really need it, cooking for one sucks, but I think I want to go back for it. But I don't know what I'd use it for besides onions. Anyone?
Also, I'm old enough to remember when a serving of orange juice was 4 oz* but I've never been able to find glass glasses smaller than 10 oz until this morning. The label says 5 oz, but leave space so you don't spill and there we go. (My grandmother had a set of 8 with a fancy design and a matching pitcher that she probably got shortly after WWII, although it was often used to serve Tang instead of juice because Space Age! and fresh juice was hard to find in the middle of nowhere in the 80s).
* and a serving of yogurt was one cup, with a reusable lid. Now we've got all these midget one use containers. The 21st century kind of sucks.

So no one ever told you to put the asparagus perpendicular to the bars of the grill, not parallel? It helps!

If you don't like asparagus you should still give grilled a try. Very different flavor.

The slicer I used to have was electric, which was nice for stuff like meat and cheese but a PITA to clean. That one looks pretty handy, plus dishwasher safe so easy cleanup. Might be worth it just for onions and tomatoes and such.

My dislike for asparagrass has nothing to do with the veggie and everything to do with being a very hung over teenager on a hot Iowa summer day crawling down the rows of 2" asparagrass plants cutting the weeds out of them with a putty knife. Can't smell it to this day without having flashbacks. Yes, there was a girl involved, why do you ask?
