Have any of your schmoopie's family recipes become favorites of yours?

You just wanted to say schmoopie.

My mother-in-law's perogies.
Yet to be replicated exactly, but my sister-in-law has got it very close.
We'll never tell her she's got it nailed, because we want her to keep trying so that we can keep eating them.

My MiL's claim to fame is running out of marinara while making a lasagna and switching to cocktail sauce. My wife's "signature recipe" is peas and corn. It has two ingredients.

Same here. Actually my mother-in-laws signature move is that all bread served at dinner needs to be burnt. I've gradually been taking over the cooking for family events.

God help me, but on first reading I was scratching my head and wondering where the marijuana went in the lasagna...

Her family doesn't cook; her dad is the most likely one to make a meal, but they subsist 95% on delivery pizza and dining out. To be honest, I'm shocked they're both so healthy and in shape. :messedup:
 
No way. The wife is a great cook but the mother in law's cooking is dreadful. As such I claim all of my wife's recipes as our family's. My MIL's outstanding achievement was to so overcook the vegetables she served with a roast dinner, that it took several minutes to identify the green soup floating around the plate as originally being broccolli. Took years before any of us could face having broccolli again in any form... :zoinks:
 
You're schmoopie!
No, you're schmoopie!

I commandeered my wife's grandmother's pork chop recipe, then tweaked it a bit to make it my own.
It was basically a pan sear, then simmer in water for a couple hours with cut up taters and veggies, kinda thing. I added wine and removed the taters and the veggies. That leaves more liquid with which to make gravy. Then I'll do brown rice and steamed veggies on the side.
 
My wife's mom made a killer scalloped potatoes, but since I'm lactose intolerant, I've never attempted it. I could only eat tiny bits.

the street vendors, you mean?

those couple blocks on Alvarado by the park are random-junk-sold-on-the-sidewalk-central in LA.

I always went there for tamales, the best pastrami anywhere (I'm talking to New Yorkers here too), and stepping in homeless people's poop.

The beef bowl. *spits*
 
I don't think I've ever been to one :embarrassed:

re: beef noodle soup, I meant taiwanese style nu ro mein
 
My Mother in law never cooked in her life. She just told the help what to do and took the credit.

My wife makes her Aunts beef stroganoff, which is to die for.
