Considering past Carl's Jr. TV ads, are you sure that "foot-long" refers to this sandwich!

We got ours from Penzey's, very yummy.

In the Seattle area, we usually get Tombstone or Red Baron from the supermarket for those emergencies. I find them more satisfying than something higher priced like the Newman's. Regular crust rather than rising prefered by me as the latter is just too much bread. We got a regular frozen Safeway pepperoni recently and the crust was awful and the topping made me feel slighty sick. *feh*

Aklash -- you are getting wound up over nothing. Sure, kugels are part of Ashkenazi cuisine no matter what ethnicity devised them or the derivation of the name. Be cool, do good, avoid evil, throw a party!

Gut Yontov!

Lemon is always a good addition -- perks up the flavors. I presume that "whisk" was meant rather than "wish"?

Very nice -- I'll have to try this!

The glorious panoply of Washington State apples, potatoes (Finnish fingerlings, baby reds or Yukon Golds), Rainier cherries (OMG) and the other glories of the University District farmer's market.

Forgive me -- it's Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar.

I love a good rib eye, but a fine Romanian-style flank steak is a wonder. (trying not to mutter darkly about London Broil, but I'm OK now)

I took my sweetie out for a lovely Thai meal on Sunday, no wine or beer and I had a diet cola. I didn't order appetizers because I was trying to keep the bill reasonable and it still came out to about $28 with tax and tip.

We each ordered combinations that included our dish of choise, veggie pad thai and steam rice. I was pretty satisfied!

Gone and I never managed to get over there!

Beaver's got a fine array of mustards, but I do still have an affection for Gulden's Spicy Brown, Plochman's and Kosciuszko.

Definitely try Pagliacci's which is remarkedly consistant and tasty - a nice proportion of sauce to cheese to crust (that latter nicely chewy). I usually get the double pepperoni. I can also recommend an iteration of the local Romio's chain, Greek pizza with a very good chewy baked crust. I like the classic pepperoni and Italian sausage, as well as the eggplant and goat cheese, but a star fave at our house is the GASP: Garlic, Artichoke, Sun-dried tomatoes and Pesto.

I felt that Tutta Bella was a bit over praised. Although tasty, I never found their pies as satisfying as a good NYC slice.
