Because the delicious smell reminds me of lazy Saturday mornings, back when I was growing up.

The only time I ever made homemade ice cream it was when I was a kid. We made strawberry kiwi ice cream and it was delicious. Once I get a job I have to add "ice cream maker" to my list of stuff I need to buy. You're lucky.

@Lorenzo: lolz!

I've never had any problem opening at the stem. Sometimes it might get squashed at the opening, but that's the first part one would eat so it doesn't have any time to bruise. In any case, I might have to try this new approach next time I get bananas. Hey, look, I've just found an excuse to go out later today and pick up some fresh fruit. WIN!

Grilled cheese with maple syrup on the side for dipping

Grilled Bratwurst, beer, and for dessert:
15 year old scotch, neat.

Homemade pizza! If you're up to it: grilled pizza! Delicious, and you don't need meat. Top it with a mixture of mozzarella, Monterrey jack, and mild cheddar, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, and green onions. mmmm

Other topping ideas: squash, beans, sun dried tomatoes, eggplant, roasted garlic, etc (I'm sure you have some ideas of your own).

Two days ago I made carne asada marinade from scratch and used it to make steak tacos with homemade salsa (with fire roasted jalapenos and poblano peppers). Corn tortillas, steak, fresh salsa, cheese, and authentic Mexican hot sauce: so good. Best I've had since moving out of the southwest.

Gin and tonic...no, wait...

salsa on cold pizza
maple syrup to dip grilled cheese [with *gasp* real cheddar cheese(Tillamook is the BEST!), not KRAFT Singles]
pan fried grapes in pretty much any pasta dish
maple syrup in Manhattans (as a replacement for the vermouth) (called a Maple Leaf, very good but seems weird)

all I can think of right now. Happy eats!

He looks terrified of it.

Haha, my roommates and I were just talking about doing this the other day after our deep fried Oreos were a success. Of all the things we've made in the deep fryer, though, the cheese sticks were the best--and also the only thing we've made multiple times.

I never did like the corn crust on corn dogs, so making my own sounds intriguing.

Time seems to be a factor. Sitting in the fridge overnight allowed the flavors to mingle and it tastes a lot better.

I didn't use that much milk (prob 5 parts mayo to 1 part milk) and the amount of butter was prob 1/4 teaspoon (like I said, "just the tiniest amount of butter"). I used apple vinegar because I was what I had.

I'm going to have to get some celery seed for next time. Thanks.

Wow...just, wow.

Some company needs to start selling bottled water pumped directly out of the East River with the tiny print on the back below the nutritional facts that reads, "Not for human consumption."

Geez, if your BF wants to get breadsticks, then let him get breadsticks. Hell, you can even hold it against him when ordering the toppings ["If your getting breadsticks, I'm getting anchovies" (get anchovies anyway, even if you don't like them ;-) )].

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this: this is not an argument worth pursuing this far, and if you think otherwise then, well...
