Poll: Ranch Dressing on Pizza - Way or No Way?

I'm of mixed feelings on the issue. As a native Texan, I've always seen people eat ranch on pizza or dip the pizza in it. I always thought it was gross despite my love of the condiment. I do, however, dip the top crust in ranch occasionally. The rest is off limits. The idea of ranch and the tomato sauce mixing is too much for me.

How many fridges and freezers do you have? Or want? Or use?

I'm currently in an apartment with a way too small side by side. I bought a small chest freezer last year to hold frozen veggies, chicken, and the like since I don't have enough space with the fridge I have now. I'm buying a house at the moment and the one thing I'm looking forward to the most is getting a bigger fridge, not a side by side, so I can by more fresh and not have to rely on my freezer as much as I do.

Poll: How Long Would You Wait In Line?

Dinner I don't mind waiting up to 30-45 minutes. An hour is too long unless it is really good. But I don't wait at lunch time since I only get 45 minutes for lunch at work.

Anyone enjoy eating at Sam's Club or Costco snack bar?

I used to get the polish sausage and a drink combo at Sam's Club on occasion. However, since they discontinued that a while back, I get the pizza now. I'm rarely in Costco but I like both the polish sausage and pizza there as well. Most of the time though, I skip the cafe area all together or just get a drink when I walk in the club.

I'm definitely a fan of the Swedish meatballs at Ikea! I always have to stop and get some when I go.

Who Makes the Best Vanilla Ice Cream?

Blue Bell is by far my favorite. I grew up on it and have never gotten tired of it. Its almost a sin to eat Blue Bunny in Texas (at least according to my grandpa). Vanilla is my flavor of choice usually when eating ice cream. It may be boring to some but I love my ice cream to be simple.

Jam and Jelly recipes for diabetics

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I knew the jelly wouldn't be completely sugar free because of the fruit. Perhaps I should have said reduced sugar since this is going to be a once in awhile treat but not something she should not eat everyday.

Snapshots from the UK: McDonald's Fish Finger Happy Meal

I'd order it but probably only in the U.K. Because it was cheap, I ate a lot of McD's in London during my semester there. I liked it much better than American ones. It seemed less greasy and healthier.

Do You Know How Much You Really Spend on Food?

I wing it for the most part since I'm single. I usually spend no more than 40 a week though sometimes more depending on how much I'm in the mood to cook.

Has the Credit Crunch Affected What You Eat?

I've been eating out less during the week and cooking bigger meals so I'll have plenty of leftovers for lunch. I've also subscribed to more food magazines and increased my cookbook collection a bit like others. I try and keep myself to a budget for grocery shopping so I haven't been hit there much yet. The one splurge I won't give up is my matcha for lattes and smoothies. Its not terribly expensive and it keeps me from going to places like Starbucks. Most everything else (not essential) is already fair game to give up.

Is it OK to make a birthday cake for yourself?

It is definitely okay. I had to make my own this year. My mom knows I love to bake so she surprised me with the makings of my favorite birthday cake instead of a pre-made bakery cake. My little sister helped and we had a blast.

How do you pronounce "grocery"?

This native Texan frequently goes to the gro-sher-ee store to buy or-enge sherbert and cetch-up, usually without a kewpon. I love to eat car-mels. I use a dish rag to wash my dishes and a wash rag in the shower (I had to train my mom NOT to say warsh). I mail letters in en-velopes. In December, I wish every one a Merry Chrismuss.

I did a quiz once that said I had the kind of neutral Western accent that was probably due to me being born in Texas after 1980. As long as my hick family isn't around, I guess its right. When they're around though...oh geez.

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

I like to make the full recipe of whatever I'm making and then freeze half of it for later. It helps save me money and time as well as not wasting ingredients since I live alone. I can take out a package from the freezer when I leave for work and by the time I get home, I've got a home cooked meal ready to be heated up!
