Question of the Day: What are you ashamed to admit you use?

I buy a box of those premade Jimmy Dean Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuits every week, and I eat one for breakfast every day. I also use instant grits, frozen yeast rolls, and boxed mac and cheese.

Do you eat weekday breakfast? If so, what?

Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese biscuits, that I buy in a red box from the meat case at Walmart. They are surprisingly good.

Question of the Day: What's your favorite candy bar?

Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate bar. I'm diabetic, so can't eat an entire one all at once, but I break off one of the little squares and let it melt in my mouth every other day or so.

What goes into your ultimate sandwich (bread, spreads, filling)?

My absolute favorite is the classic BLT, with iceberg lettuce and homegrown southern tomatoes.

A close second is deli roast beef, sharp cheddar cheese. mayo, and spicy mustard on rye bread.

Question of the Day: What's the 'J' on your PBJ?

I live in North Carolina, where Garner's jams and jellies are made. The best preserves, bar none, in the entire country are Garner's cherry preserves. Garner's also makes Texas Pete hot sauce, which is available in many areas of the country, but they are a small, family controlled business here in NC. They also make blackberry preserves and grape jam. If you ever see it in your supermarket, try it. I guarantee you will love it.

What one food are you ashamed to admit you like?

Plain corn tortillas dipped in refried beans from a can. Dinty Moore Beef Stew with chopped onion in it. Canned vienna sausages on white bread with catsup. Okay, I guess that's 3, and I haven't even scratched the surface.

What can't you cook after, trying over and over again?

I can't seem to make any kind of yeast dough. I'd love to be able to make fresh bread, or glazed doughnuts, or cinnamon rolls, and I have tried many times. But the dough never rises like it's supposed to. I have never had any luck with this.

Question of the Day: What's your earliest food-related memory?

My Grandmother had a damson tree in her yard. I remember the taste of her damson pies, sweet, yet delightfully tangy.

Another fond memory I have is the soggy tomato sandwiches we ate at church during Bible School. The tomatoes had been in somebody's garden that very morning. The ladies would make up a bunch of sandwiches for our snack time, and the bread would get somewhat soggy from the juicy tomatoes. It was wonderful!

Question of the Day: What food can't you live without?

Onions. Without onions, my world would be a very bland place.

I am giving up pancakes for Lent.

Question of the Day: What's the worst meal someone's ever cooked for you?

One of the first attempts by my hubby to cook dinner after I had a stroke. A stir fry of chicken, broccoli, onion, and water chestnuts. Wouldn't have been half bad, but to begin with, the pan was not hot enough. He also didn't have a clue as to when each thing should be added, and as a result, the chicken was only half done, the onions were burned black, and broccoli was cooked to mush. On top of all that, he added way too much cornstarch to the slurry, and the whole dish looked like it had already been eaten and rejected by someone else's stomach. But in the name of respect for his efforts, I choked a few bites down.

What do you think is contributing to obesity in America?

I agree with everything the other posters have said. But I also think there is the issue of how our meat supply is raised. The elements in beef, pork, and poultry feed that fattens them up for market eventually makes its way to our tables, and we consume it as well.

What's your OTHER favorite food blog?

I have been a member of Roadfood.com for several years. It is not a blog, but its a great website, with plenty of useful foodie information.

Question of the Day: Sweet or savory?

My name is BreadBox, and I am a carboholic. But I think the savory carbs win out over the sweet most of the time. Given the choice between a piece of chocolate pie or a loaded baked potato, the spud will win every time. I am a diabetic, and I can tell myself smugly that I'm following my diet because I'm limiting my intake of sweets, but we all know that I am just fooling myself.

Question of the Day: What's your most annoying food habit?

I wouldn't really call it habits, but I have several idiosyncrasies when it comes to food that drive my husband up the wall. I have a VERY weak stomach, and as a result, I.....

Can't eat potato chips or anything else that's eaten with the hands if anyone else's hands have been in the bag. As soon as I come home from the grocery store, I take myself some of the chips or whatever out of the new bag, and put them in a ziploc baggie.

Can't usually eat when people with long hair do the cooking, or if they hover over the food. If I see a hair in the vicinity of something I am eating, it seriously gags me, even if it's not on my food.

Can't eat or drink after ANYONE, other than my husband. If someone wants to taste something I'm eating, I will usually give them the entire thing.

I am polite, and very subtle about this, and nobody but my husband is aware that I have these quirks. As I said, it drives him up the wall.

Post a recipe of a guilty pleasure of yours...

Drain a can of LeSeur green peas and dump into a bowl. Throw in some chopped onion, one of those small jars of pimento, and some mayo. Mix all together. Sounds gross, but is really quite tasty.

What's the one food you just won't eat?

I absolutely will not eat raw carrots,as I don't like the taste. Cooked carrots are great. I also don't like mushrooms, (it's a texture thing) and will pick them off a pizza. I've also been known to pick them out of stroganoff and shrimp scampi, but only if hubs makes it at home.

From Talk

Which wich?

Homemade chicken salad on toasted rye bread with iceberg lettuce.
