Growing up in Minnesota, we didn't actually have a ton of local doughnut shops at the time, so we had to get them from grocery bakeries.

My local grocery store had both long john's AND eclairs - the key difference being the filling. Long Johns had none and sometimes had sprinkles or coconut topping - where as eclairs were filled evil.

Martin's Kettle cook potato chips are thick and good.

I was a vegetarian between the ages of 13 and 22. One night (about 2 months ago) I decided that I simply wanted a steak. Right there and then I went to a diner with my best friend and she watched me down a steak. It was incredible. Not only was that night amazing, but since then I have SO much more energy than I did before. For nine years I had issues with energy. It hit a climax last year when I literally could not stay awake at 2pm every day for months. That went away after I started to take insulin pills (I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes at that ime), but I was still kind of low on energy, moody, depressive...

I swear eating meat has been my savior! I feel like a new woman! I literally feel like a completely different person. I have energy now! And I'm not as moody or depressive... wow, things are different! Plus I feel more like "me"... I never saw myself as the girl who'd eat a salad at a steakhouse while her date had a rare one. I saw myself as the down-to-earth-red-meat-eating chick even when I didn't eat meat for 9 years.

I love steak! I can't ever be a vegetarian again!

Old skool, yo. I can't imagine why people would want to gourmetify something so classic and delicious as-is!

White or Sara Lee soft wheat bread
Creamy PB, any brand
Grape/Seedless raspberry JELLY (jam no... too thick.)

Does he drink too much? If not I wouldn't worry.

Hi I am new here, what a great site. This one caught my eye because I was searching for info on a particular 1908 cookbook. I just got my hands on the original 1st print copy of the 1908 Rumford Complete Cook Book and needed some info about it. I love the fact that some of the recipes are family favorites that have never been printed. I am thinking I might sell it, but want to look at it first. WOW a 100 year old book!!

you people really need to get a grip.. its not like shes forcing you to eat any of her foods and she will tell you herself that she puts a lot of butter in her food.. i mean seriously butter and cream cheese isn't half as bad as deep fried ice cream or deep fried candy bars and twinkies.. and yes people really do fry these things or how bout Duck Confit (sp?) which is duck boiled and or baked covered in duck fat..lol fatty unhealthy recipes have been around forever, its up to us to learn self control and portion control..lol

so we had our s'meeps party last night - these are pretty darn good. used 60% cacao and baked them in the toaster oven. Oddly enough their eyes disintegrate!! which you'll note in the photos above. since they can't see the desctruction I feel humane 9or so i thought - read on)!

i like my s'meeps "topless" (no upper graham topper) and used my hands to eat them which was fun - but pretty gooey. I would reccomend using utensils if enjoying these as part of a fine dining experience - as i'm sure many plan to...

lastly i should note that I had 2 very vivid and strange nightmares following the s'meeps dining experience....they didn't involve peeps, but people, so proceed with caution. This was brought on by a single serving of s'meeps!

I have been 'waving Peeps for decades...it is a great stress reducer. Now I'm teaching a new generation the joys of watching Peeps expand in the microwave. Just be sure to have a warm, wet washcloth or a spray bottle of warm or hot water handy in case you wait too long to stop the explosion ;-) I send these sugary gems to my nieces and nephews to enjoy exploding during finals weeks. Not very expensive so think of it as "CHEEP THRILLS" ! LOL :-)

Wow, that's adorable.

this entire thread is hilarious.

"classic treat/sparkly chick" comparison was very funny, grace.

& i love that everyone is either fervently pro or con 'peep people' (peeple?)

can't believe i've never thought of this before.

if they made roadrunner marshmallows we could make sm'beep-beeps.

OMG I thought I was the only one who did this! It is IMMENSELY entertaining to make Peep Smores in the microwave, actually. Throw them in for no longer than 4 second (depending on your 'wave) and watch the peeps puff up to 4x their size! It's a fantastic experience, especially coupled with the chocolate/graham cracker. Yum.

Peeps. Peeps. Peeps. So cute and sweet.
I only wish you were more tasty to eat.
