My secret ingredient?

Love...

Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Soup sounds sooo good. I'm not waiting for Thanksgiving for that one.

I have been know to eat several pieces of buttered french bread for dinner and a large glass of ice water with lemon. Its just easy and well, civilization was built on bread and water for a reason.

I think a warning label is great! Maybe it will bring to light important health information about hot dogs to help folks kick their 3 packs a day habit...

Make your own!! They are way better without all the additives.

3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup whole milk
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
10 drops green food coloring

Serves about 2.

Seriously, don't go to McDonalds.

Fail whale better behave.

Paying that much money for a restaurant meal is absurd. What happened to pot luck parties at someone's house? Do people not cook for birthdays anymore?

A bowl of potato salad and a gift is nothing compared to a $500, 200, or even 100 restaurant bill.

Maybe I'm just cheap and/or poor, but I would much rather celebrate a birthday with the people I like in a familiar environment where we can listen to our own music, eat when we like, and enjoy casual conversation without having to deal with potentially bad service, poorly mixed drinks, the loud party next door, or unhappy guests when the bill arrives.
