My friend bought this breadmaker because she doesn't have an oven in her apartment (weird I know). She loves it! It makes very tasty loaves with a nice texture. She's also used it to make dough for things like cinnamon buns, which she then bakes in someone else's oven. For her, lacking something as essential as an oven, I think it was an excellent buy.

Ooooh, I'm glad you made this guide! Gives me some more ideas for grilled pizza toppings :) I've been making grilled pizza for my friends the past couple of weekends, and they can't get enough! Also for some reason everyone was shocked that I was grilling the pizzas themselves and not just the toppings. They were all like, "You're grilling pizza? Really? ... You can do that with pizza??"

I grew up in FoCo and now live in the South. Whenever I go home, I HAVE to hit up Big City Burrito. It's not exactly classy eats, but the steak and potato burrito.... God it's to die for.

I had no idea this was "poor people tea." This is the type of tea I drank with my mom when I was a kid. I used to love fishing the toasted rice grains out of the pot after the tea had been poured, because they tasted so good!

Bibimbap! I love all the different textures and tastes and the runny yolk egg on top.

mac n cheese all the way!

Before going to college I didn't know that people ate ramen noodles all by themselves. My mother always prepared them for me with vegetables and meat, usually a combination of cabbage, carrots, green onions, and sometimes broccoli, with slices of pork or beef or a poached egg. Sometimes she would put in pieces of those pink and white fish cakes. To me ramen noodles were a meal, a treat even, not poor people food.

I love adding Sriracha to crappy store-bought ramen noodles (you know, the kind that cost $0.14 at the grocery). Takes them from lame to awesome in one easy squirt!

how could you talk about Lexington pizza joints without mentioning Goodfellas pizza??

wow, what a variety of answers! :) i should have clarified that i will most likely be frosting the cake on Friday afternoon, right before i take it to the party. so i'm wondering how best to make sure bare, unfrosted cake layers stay fresh.

i tried Sriracha peas once and thought they tasted weird, bordering on gross. i'll stick with wasabi peas, thanks.

my roommate's brother owns a pizza restaurant in Seattle. when they first opened, he hired a bunch of strippers to walk around town with little people (or in not-PC terms, midgets) and hand out fliers to random people. apparently it was extremely effective.
