Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Combos

In undergrad, we were know to eat Ramen noodles with easy cheese an ketchup. Its a sure fire hangover cure, but I should still be drier than the Sahara after consuming that concoction.

The Self-Stirring Cup Signals the Potential End of the Teaspoon

I don't think so. Instead of rendering the teaspoon useless, this cup proves itself to impractical. As Coupey said, is a spoon really that hard to use? ANd how long before some yokel chokes on the agitator ball and sues the company right out of business anyway?

What's Your Take on Cake Ice Cream?

The best cake batter ice cream I've had was from Cold Stone Creamery and that was only good on the sample spoon-when I got a small serving, I found it cloying and artificial, like HFCS infused melted Swedish fish.

Slurm: The Highly Addictive Beverage of the Future, Coming Soon

The visual of where Slurm came from will prevent me from wanting to try this, cartoon or not.

That is deranged. And funny. And soooo wrong.

Dinner Tonight: Butter Butter Salad

A recipe after Paula Deen's heart--who says butter doesn't go with everything?

Cocoa Puffs: Gateway Drug to Veganism

While the list is fascinating, it is also perplexing. Didja see the list of beverages? How does one indulge in chocolate-- from Ghirardelli to Nesquik "choco-product" without eating milk? Or Bisquik--would soymilk work in it (or water for that matter)? Maybe someone here could break it down for me--is soymilk an equal substitute for milk in cooking?

Crunchy foods...what are your favorites?

Chinese-Muslim style stir fry thin strips of potatoes! Try to recreate it here at my house. I know they soak them in salt water, but do they blanch them??

I fall into the camp of anything goes for breakfast, though now that I'm more into the routine of my day job, I've been making mini-stratas (think breakfast casserole in a muffin pan) that reheat well (enough) through the week, so lately I've been much more breakfasty, saving leftovers for my lunch.

That doesn't mean I don't love pad thai for breakfast or that I've totally forgotten my childhood days of two hot dogs with velveeta cheese (no bun), and ketchup and mustard nearly every morning. I think anorexia must have been a big concern then because my parents would say things like "we're just thrilled to see her eating SOMETHING in the morning!" despite their usual hatred of hot dogs.

Nothing is "too weird" for me to eat for breakfast. I love leftovers. Pasta, chinese food, steak... bring it on. I really hate sweet food in the morning, though. Dried out pizza is preferable to a donut any day.

Last time I had a hangover, breakfast was a Fishamajig sandwich from Friendly's. I knew it would either make me feel ten times better or ten times worse. It worked out in my favor!

I'm guilty of eating leftovers for breakfast, but my most shameful morning meal was probably the morning before i took my SAT's when i was a sophomore in high school. My mom wasn't big on cooking in the first place, but the school had sent home letters saying that test takers needed to eat a good, hearty breakfast before the test. Mom's version of a good, hearty breakfast? Corned beef has from a can, some Totino's Pizza Rolls (combination flavor, of course), a hardboiled egg, and some V-8 to wash it all down. How the hell was I supposed to concentrate on the SAT's after consuming that amalgamation of a breakfast?

Ahh...yeah. I had Bagel Chips and a Budweiser one morning when I realized I had nothing in my fridge or cupboards. Breakfast of champions. I also recently heated up some leftover rice pilaf and mixed in some salsa, cheese and a Morningstar breakfast sausage patty...it was actually pretty good.

Can you really taste the egg? I am so unabashedly curious right now - I am just afraid that if I try them myself I am really going to like them and will have to eat both my words and my feelings.

Dried up pizza. Even after microwaving it with a wet paper towel, it was... shall we say chewy?

Those combos are awesomely delicious, by the way.

OK - I am pretty sure I'm not an idiot, but I legitimately do not understand this concept at all. The inside tastes like bacon, egg, AND cheese? All in a neat cheeze-whizesque package? How does this possibly make sense? Shouldn't the cracker at least taste like egg? I'm not hating on the Combo - it was good to me as a youngin', but why - why - why make the faux cheese taste like egg. What's next? Gefilte fish and horseradish? A congealed tube of Passover tucked within a neat little matzoh cracker.

i love eating "breakfast" foods for dinner (bacon, eggs, pancakes. . . ), so i don't really discriminate between breakfast and non-breakfast foods in the morning.

cold chinese food leftovers make a great breakfast. as does a twix bar with your coffee.
