Thought for years I was lactose intolerant. Then was prescribed a Z-pack antibiotic, now i can digest dairy!!!!!! Apparently something was blocking the enzyme needed to digest dairy & the antibiotic killed it. But just recently had the stomach flu, was still sick after 2 weeks. Doc said the dairy products were FEEDING the BAD BACTERIA. Said no dairy for 2 weeks, then start adding back in PROBIOTICS (Activia, ect....) for 2 weeks then add regular dairy back in. Still in the no dairy stage, will let you know if it works. Cross your fingers!!!! lol Found this site looking for cheese low in lactose, Thank you so much for a wealth of info everyone!!!!

I picked up my very first hunk of it today at the market. Still trying to decide if I wanna broil it or grill it. My fish grilling skills are less then stellar.

I remember eating a lot of bluefish as a kid growing up in Massachusetts. I remember it as being rather oily and fishy. I'd probably enjoy it much more now, as an adult. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to try it again.

wow. that sauce was so good!

I'm going through the same thing right now. I don't know how I'm going to live without cheeeeeeeeese. Almost everything in my fridge is cheese!

I feel like I'm going to starve to death right now lol.

A new favorite! The ingredients are kitchen staples, both my husband and 4-year old love it, and it's a snap to prepare. Love it!

In public I have a reputation of being a health-conscious eater with sophisticated tastes. But in private, I'm actually a crap-eating junkie. Here's my list of sinful indulgences:

Chef Boyardee's Beefaroni with mozzarella
Kraft's powdered cheddar cheese
Ikea's Swedish Meatballs
Campbell's Condensed Mushroom Soup mixed with rice (I like to refer to it as a poor man's mushroom risotto, lol)
Hungry Man's Salisbury Steak dinner
McDonald's Sausage McGriddle, Big Mac, fries, and chocolate/vanilla soft serve ice cream
Burger King's deep fried apple pies
KFC's Original Fried Chicken, potato and macaroni salads, and honey roasted chicken (I first tasted it back in the 90s during a trip to Saratoga Springs. OMG, it was the best chicken from a fast food place ever. Are these still available in the U.S.???)
Jell-O Pudding
Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookies
any Pizza Hut pizza (love the greasy crust!)
Red Lobster (all the ones in Montreal closed over 20 years ago. I miss those garlic cheese biscuits!)
canned sardines with French's mustard
canned liver pate spread with Miracle Whip on white bread
Cherry Coke
and a Canadian product: McCain's Triple Chill desserts

God, I feel like such a fraud...

I miss everything on the top ten list with the exception of the C3PO's-never had those. I also miss Planters Cheeseballs and Cheesecurls, and O' Boises (those were by far my favorite potato chip growing up-especially the sour cream and onion).
But I'm super surprised that one of the most amazing foods of the 80's was left off of this list and wasn't named by anyone. I want to know what happened to Red Devil Cheese Puffs. My mom would buy them every year for New Years Eve and we were so excited to take them out of the freezer and bake them-and even if they were burnt they were still good. I really miss those and can't find them anywhere.
As far as fast food restaurants, I was very happy to find a Roy Rogers a couple of years ago (to only have it taken away from me) but all of their food from my childhood all tasted the same right down to the french fries and the pickles in the fixin bar.
Also, I don't know if any one has noticed but the good old "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame bun" (of course I'm referring to the Big Mac), the special sauce is different from when I was a kid-which I kept telling my mom about and she thought I was crazy, but I saw something on food network recently that said McD's lost the special sauce recipe in the 90's and the sauce is different now-so that being said I also miss the original big mac.

@peggysu - MY grandmother used to snack on saltines with butter and radish slices on top.

@DELICIOUS - You put the Siracha on the peanut butter toast?? That's interesting...

I am originally from Plymouth, MA.

But we are transplants to the culinary wasteland that is Cincinnati, OH.

Breakfast egg casserole work well for crowds. I use this one; http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,175,150184-238203,00.html
incorporate any breakfast meats and cheese of your choice. We did this for a Father's Day breakfast. Church supplied the ingredients and volunteers look the ingredients home, did the prep work the night before, and baked the casseroles while getting ready for church. We also offered a honey lime glazed fruit salad that was quite tasty..

Good Luck
