Hot Dog of the Week: Sonic's 4 New 'Regional-Style' Hot Dogs

Oh I miss Sonic and their Happy Hour! Come to Vermont, Sonic!

I haven't had any of these new dogs, but I have always liked their Coney Dog. Sometimes that greasy chili and cheese just hits the spot w/ a limeade.

Summer's here...easy iced coffee recipes?

Just fixed my newest batch up tonight ...
1 cup ground coffee
4 cups water

Mix together in a pitcher and let steep overnight in the fridge. Strain through a fine mesh strainer lined w/ a towel, paper or linen. Awesomeness in a glass! I use my normal 1/2 and 1/2 as the only add-in.

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Boone's Farm

I saw Boone's last summer at a liquor and was immediately transported back to 1990 and 91 when I would consume large amounts in high school, where I was partial to the Strawberry. Now though, I don't think I could even smell the stuff without getting sick. STrangeley, it still costs the same as it did back then.

Vermont takes on MacDonald's and sorta wins

Arkie.. we are actually the only state who's state capital doesn't have a McD's. :) The closest McDonald's to me is a good 1/2 hour drive. My town has only let in Subway and that's it for fast food. McD's has tried a few times, but the town keeps voting them down, thankfully!

What do I do with pounds of TRIPE

I love curried tripe. Cook it for a several hours at a simmer with lots of curry and coconut milk. Serve over rice. So good!

Introduce Yourself!

I'm Amy and 36. Just moved back to the city of my youth, Kansas City. I have spent most of my adult life in Minneapolis and then in Vermont.

I grew up cooking with my father (he did more of it then Mom did) and my love it cooking just grew from there.

I am currently job hunting...woot! .... but went to art school for photography and also spent a lot of years in computers.
Love this site and have been a member pretty much since it went public. This community is wonderful and have learned so much from everyone on here, members and staff. You guys rock!

Label says use steak by Jan 1st.. Should I eat it now?

The nose knows. I agree... smell it and touch it. If it smells ok, it's fine.

Leftover caramel sauce

how can you keep from just eating straight from the container? I would be keeping a spoon next to it in the fridge for sneaking bites. :)

how about swirled into a brownie mixture before baking? Or on top of cheesecake?

Minnesota Pizza

When I lived in Minneapolis, I loved Pizza Luce. They have several locations in the city. Very yummy crust, probably more like what you're looking for. Chewy and pliable. Their toppings are great as well.
And you can usually get the places that do the square cutting to have them cut it into normal pieces if you ask them. At least that's what I've found.

Weird "Thanksgiving" foods

for me, it's strawberry fluff. Which is made out of a container of cottage cheese, cool whip, some drained crushed pineapple and a packet of strawberry jell-o. It only makes the appearance at Thanksgiving. Totally wrong and yet so good. And I am completely making it this year. lol. I need that comfort of my childhood this year. :)
