Weekend Poll: Do You Prefer Regular or Diet Soda?

Coke Zero. As a Type II Diabetic, My choice when I want the fizzy stuff. I'm used to it now, used to think diet was icky, but now if I get served a regular soda by accident, I find the mouthfeel a total turn off.

Poll: How Do You Like Your Toast?

Medium. With Whipped Butter, Sometimes Peanut Butter and Sometimes Along with Jam/Preserves on top of the previous 2 options. Rye or Whole Wheat is preferred, but sometimes a slice of squishy white is ok too

Mayo On A BBQ Burger?

I can live with a scant application of mayo. Slathered on, Yuk. And only on certain things. If it's an ingredient I can live with it, like in a sauce or something. I make my chicken salad with a little sour cream or greek yogurt.

How do you like your eggs?

Fried, Scrambled, Poached. Always a little bit of salt, maybe white pepper. I don't care for hard boiled.

If I'm feeling adventurous, I like a Salsa and Pepper Jack Omelet. Sometimes a little hot sauce. With buttered Rye Toast or a Whole Wheat English Muffin. Oh man I want some eggs.

Sophisticated wedding pizza?

If it's pizza you want, Have it. Standing on tradition is not a requirement IMHO.

Regular Pizza (Tomato sauce/Mozz) is great with diced (or sliced) chicken breast, Red Onion and Jalapeno too!

What's your potato salad recipe?

I just don't like mayo, especially in the amounts in a regular potato salad. I can live with a little on my turkey sandwich, but gobs of it? No.

I usually use red potatoes, Lots of Bacon and Onion, In the traditional hot vinegar dressing. Don't forget the celery seed!

where do you work?

I cook at a 120 Bed Nursing Home. While indeed we need to cater to therapeutic diets and different consistencies, I take pride in the meals I put out and try to present them in a appetizing manner.

My Specialties? I make some really kick ass soups. The ones I enjoy making most are Beef Barley and Turkey Noodle. Least Favorite is Lentil. It does NOT hold well

Grocery Self-Checkout Lanes: Way or No Way?

Love em when I'm in a hurry and only have a couple things and the real lines have, umm, lines. I don't like them for the fact that there is no discount for me doing the company's work. I try to use them as little as possible, but sometimes I don't want to wait, like if I'm on my way home from work..
