Some dinosaur cereal that was trix-like. Only with dino shapes - the name eludes me.
@Adam L - I loved s'mores crunch! They have a similar cereal now, but it's far different.
You order an appetizer, but they bring it out at the same time they bring you your meal. What's the point? I don't want it anymore. It happened on more than one occasion. Now I just make it a point to say, "Can you please bring this out before the rest of the food?"
Diner food can be wonderful. Diner food can be terrible. They can make it worse by not letting you order off the kid's menu. If I want a smaller portion, and I'm going to pay, what's the problem?
Wow. I'm incredibly boring compared to y'all. The only thing I can think of is slathering burnt tortillas with sour cream and salt. Not very imaginative I guess.
I also liked to mix my mashed potatoes, broccoli, and chicken into one big mess. My mom has this friend who was a foodie (though they weren't called foodies back then) and I remember telling her about my mash-mix and how good it was. She was unamused but gave me a little head-patting "that sounds great"
I had a friend who dumped ketchup all over hawaiian pizza. I had another friend who loved raw egg yolks mixed with sugar.
Do I have to pick one?
Cauliflower, sliced really thin so I get a lot of brown edges. Tossed (very gently) with garlic, thyme, S&P, olive oil), roasted. Eaten with either lemony tahini or parmesan.
How about "Far East in the Midwest?"
or "Far East Eats in the Midwest?"
I love-hate buzzfeed. It's one of those websites that I always promise myself I'll stop reading and then keep going back to anyways, especially when I'm procrastinating. I need to stop reading brain junk-food.
This list is terrible, I love half of those cereals.
Hurray! A toast to Kenji for a well-deserved nomination (and hopefully a win!)
Carrots yes, sugar no. And if it has too much sweetness from basil then definitely no. Sugary tomato sauce is a good way to ruin pasta. I prefer plain diced tomatos.
Then again, I'm rather biased because I usually only like tomato sauce if it's on pizza.
*friendly
Tamales on torta is a breakfast thing, right? While that sounds like too much bread for me, it can lead to other "on a torta" items. Pretty much any leftover anything on a torta. Leftover chilaquiles, enchiladas, mole chicken, fried chiles rellenos.
Speaking of that, you could bread and fry a whole torta.
Or make a torta on day-old bread (any kind, but milanesa would be good if you're a meat person), slice it up, and then cover the whole thing in enchilada sauce and cheese. Torta enchiladas? Enchiladas de torta? I guess it could get soggy fast.
You could make a several bean and cheese quesadillas, divide it into triangles, and them make chilaquiles with that, too.
I think the flower-things zora was talking about are the squash flowers, no? Endless possibilities, and vegan-freindly.
There was Kenji's wink last week, Kenji's hair blowing in the breeze this week, plus Kenji holding a cute little chickie....are you guys building up to a Kenji calendar?
Bucatini. Sluuurp.
@burger365 perhaps a non-nutritive chip varnish would improve these lays. it coats and seals the chip.
I love the stuff. One of my favorite empty-out-the-fridge salad dressings is fish sauce+lemon+tahini.
I can see why people wouldn't like it. It smells like a grody grundle. When I get it on me while cooking, I stop what I'm doing to wash it off immediately. Yuck.
@darklighter The soup was the same color as the lava in those Mario castles.
I've had the oreo one before. Since it was an oreo donut, it was very sweet. Is that like saying "since it was sweet, it was sweet?" The filling did taste exactly like an oreo, though.
Has anybody ever ran the Krispy Kreme Challenge? I did it the last two years, never managed all 12, and felt sick for two days after. Skipping this year.
"Hun, can I help?"
"No, babes, you just sit there and relax" -- which we both know is code for "get out of my kitchen!"
I love dates in smoothies. My blender good-not-great blender can handle them with a little prep. I chop them and let them soak just a little almond milk or warm water. They get blended alone into a date-paste before I add the rest of the ingredients. They're also great in oatmeal smoothies.
Is anybody else a little concerned for the snowman about to down a hot drink? Don't do it Frosty -- you have so much to live for! (until spring, anyways)
ooops. I meant to say "I've known SE to be..."
Aw. I really love SE (and all of Robyn's shirts), but this seems silly. I've known to be enlightening and exciting. Hating on somebody that everybody else has already hated on is neither of these.
..and my boo mixes almond milk into tomato soup. It did not taste good.
Don't judge us for using canned soup, it was one of those long-day-at-work-to-tired-to-cook-real-food nights.
Anyone else have a similar story? I think we've all established we don't like other people in our kitchens.
catea hasn't favorited a post yet.
^ I didn't read my comment before I posted. Whoops. What I meant to say is that they concept is the same, but the taste is far different.
