@ alexlv & StephanieL : I used to LOVE Steve's (the store in Boston) back in the day. So much so, that friends and I walked to their Providence location which was on the hill by Brown University - from our location: a bus ride and down the hill at Johnson & Wales - in a blizzard to get a fix because they had cancelled classes for the day.

Cold Stone doesn't compete.

I think I am in love! Cranberries and white chocolate - two of my favorite things in this world!

I make suntea all summer, never had an issue.

Take what "they" say with a grain of salt (or sugar). We are not supposed to eat red meat cooked over charcoal - but isn't a grilled burger one of the best things on the planet?

@McNormal said "it appeals to undisciplined people who don't want to read or write or study in the traditional academic sense. It sounds fun, and there's no homework"

Excuse you? Perhaps at some of the fly by night schools, but if you go to a well established school such as CIA, Le Cordon Bleu or my alma mater, Johnson & Wales, that is FAR from the truth. There is homework, there are reports, there are finals, there are tests, there is memorization, there is math, they teach you discipline etc. It is not all how do you boil water.

Believe me I saw much less discipline and work at larger universities when I visited friends who were going for "traditional degrees" and yet they receive far more respect and pay for having a "business degree from big name university" than I ever did for my degree from a top culinary college.

You know, I saw Paula Deen go to a Kentucky Colonel Festival on one of her shows and they made this very item! A bone-in, grilled chop on a bun. It looked awesome!

@MACDodge: my DH is from Queensbury

I am originally from Plymouth, MA.

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

Thanks! I could not find my original message - i did a couple of searches and just could not find it.

I don't see a problem as long as it is in plastic bags. I carried on my sister's wedding cake on a flight from Boston to Tampa.

But, if you are worried about carry on, pack it in a hard sided suitcase and check it. I did that with the icing and the cake decorating tools I was going to need when I reached Tampa.

She has plenty of people she can call:
John and Kate
The Dugans

But I am thinking:
Lasagna
Mac and Cheese
Chix pot pie
Baked ham, scalloped potatoes, veg
red beans and rice
soups and sandwiches
big pots of oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits for breakfast

Who decreed that breakfast meant cereal, toast, juice and milk?

I will eat whatever. Sometimes it is cereal, toast, juice and milk, other times it can be leftover steak and veg or pasta or pizza. Just whatever sounds good.

My son is the same. We had pizza for supper last night - so this morning he grabbed a slice or two of pizza for breakfast.

@Amandarama: I would have to disagree about the New Englander part. I'm a New Englander as well and I love both of them!

I love NY Deli Pastrami, but in the Boston area you can get red pastrami that is awesome!! Love it on rye with spicy mustard.

Grilled corned beef and swiss with mustard. Yum! Not much of a Reuben fan because I don't care for sauerkraut.

way! I do find Ruby Reds a bit too sweet for me so I tend to go with the good old fashioned white? yellow? whichever it is. And just straight - no sugar.

As for the juice - one of my favorite summer drinks is iced Grapefruit juice - so refreshing. And if there happens to be some vodka getting lonely....
