What's your favorite type of bread?

It depends..for PB&J, I love me some good old fashioned grocery store white bread. For toast with peanut butter on it, Salt Rising bread. For toast with my sunnyside up eggs and French Toast, Sourdough. For just eating a plain slice outa the bag, Ezekial bread.

Candy a Day: Whoppers

Yum, Whoppers! Always did and always will love them. I have to try the other brands, too. The worst part about Whoppers were the hollow one's. kind of a chewy chocolate texture, blech.

Stumped... What is the name of this pastry

I'm thinking maybe Torte Schaum based on the torsion clue. From the search results, it is also called Schaum Torte. But there are hits on the first one too. Schaum means foam and appears to have whipped cream, with no mention of marzipan. Hopefully this helps a little.
I googled "list german pastries" . You might want to look at the image results to see if something looks familiar.
Hopefully this helps a little.

My Backyard Pizza Oven--I built it myself!

I think you knocked it out of the park! Great job!

Are you sure you don't have any prior brick laying

Served: A Restaurant Girl Becomes a (Sometimes Lonely) Grocery Girl

Many years ago, I briefly worked at a store in Hermosa Beach, Ca that was eventually bought by WF. I was a stock clerk. I loved working Sundays the best. The butcher would grind up some meat and the management would set out a spread of vegies and chips up in the break loft. While we couldn't eat together, it was some awesome food and great memories.

Would You Hire This Man?

It's fun how life's twists and turns leads to such interesting destinations.I saw Paulie on Crave on FN the other night. It was pretty cool that his place was the final ultimate pizza restaurant. I coulda swore he said he uses San Marzano. I guess I need to watch it again. All tomato's aside, if I'm ever in Brooklyn, I KNOW where I'm going for Pizza. I love the char'd bit's and pieces.

Burger Thing: Cheeseburger in Lucite

According to her website, it's organic in that it's real. Not organic as in, well, what's being sold as organic.

An American based artist, based in London, selling her crap to the Moscow MAM...

Whatever...

I think she could have made a bigger/better statement about the American lifestyle and culture if she would have used a Mickey Dee's burger. In doing so, she could have mocked the "evil American corporate fast food establishment" AND the American lifestyle and culture.

That extra breakfast sausage, Do You Bring it Home?

I was just thinking it depends on the size of the sausage. If it was a Farmer John size, I'd down it. But a brat sized sausage would be going home with me..oh yes.

Served: The Dos and Don'ts of Serving

I would hate to be a server!! I just imagined that this post was a restaurant and all the commenters were customers in this one restaurant. You are all an impossible to please picky bunch of people! Some want menu suggestions, others don't. Some want to order from any server available, some will wait for their server. Some don't want servers to memorize their order, others do. Then are the folks inside the business that think that servers have an easy job throwing their own jabs "try working on the line, blah, blah"...
I applaud the servers in the world! I have no desire to work in the food business. Everyone wants something different and they all think they're some kind of royalty! I guess I should include myself as well. I will continue to tip at least 20% in gratitude.
Go ahead, clear the plates. This table is finished.

Ideal PB&J Anatomy

@Luna - :)

@sadiepix - confession time, PB@H is/was my all time favorite. There was a bread (in California) called HillBilly Bread, it was the best! When I brown bagged it, I might have been on the anal side....I actually cared that the peanut butter was always on the bottom. Yep, I placed the sandwich in the bag and folded the bag closed the same way, so I could be sure that the PB was always on the bottom, I didn't like the honey leaking through the bread, having the PB on the bottom prevented it.... God, I can't believe I just shared that.

Ideal PB&J Anatomy

I agree @dmc - these permutations of PB&J are not authentic examples of this classic American sandwich.
