Four Weddings, A Hot Sauce....And a Funeral

Ya no. LOL!

Lick's Nature Burger is phenomenal. But I don't know if you can get it anywhere outside of Ontario (Canada).

If you ever visit, they sell them at the Lick's chain restaurants around the province, as well in certain grocery stores (Metro and A&P).

heart you, dbcurrie. Have you used mineral oil, or been concerned about treating your cutting board? What would you use on your own?

This pan can also be used for all-edge LASAGNE, Can you imagine?

Would probably be great for baking some mac n cheese, too!!

This is reminding me of a great Curb Your Enthusiasm moment:

"The whole cashew-raisin balance is askew!"

And, if using canned beans, always always throw them in a collander and rinse that viscous gunk off. Plus, ignore the poem; actually, the more you eat, the LESS you toot. Have 'em often!

PS: your subject title involuntarily made me lol!

Dan Akryod's "Crystal Head Vodka", people.

It comes in a skull-shaped bottle. It's pretty darn tasty, so, not scary that way... but certainly a great gift to take to a party and drink with someone, on Hellowe'en!!

Adam, sir, if you are game, we can always work with everyone's level of what's comfortable. If it makes a good blog post for both you and a band, it could be an interesting read :)

Man, this could be so fun. Just food for thought :)))

Adam, do you have a passport?

I would totally source out funding for you to come up to Canada and do something similar for a music/film industry showcase!!

A co-op partnership thing needs to get in the works for SE to come to Toronto!. SEriously.

"How 'bout a greasy sausage served in a dirty ashtray" was the running um, gag, for my people in university on those mornings.

I happened to be out of my way in a suburbs grocery store this morning, and saw the dumpling squash. I remembered the name, thanks to Kenji's Dumpling (may he rest in peace)!

I ended up picking one up, and making it tonight. Wow, is it ever delicious (even sans spinach, which I had forgotten in the recipe).

Being new to this squash, my only question; did you peel the rind off it in the end? I can't tell from the directions, and the photo looks sorta like it? I managed to remove most of the peel (wasn't easy), but had some bites here and there, and thought it was perhaps not necessary, since I did the convection thing, and rilly roasted that bizzatch!

Regardless, I am at least keeping my eyes peeled for this squash so I can make this again, in future!!

Eeeks. Am I a horrible person for abhorring a pre-cut? I am one of THOSE who prefers to have my hamburgers in tact, so I can have the pleasure of biting into the arc of the bun, et al.

Yeah. If I got my burger cut in half, I'd be unable to enjoy my meal. DON'T TOUCH MY GD BURGER.

I'm also "that guy" who does not want my sandwiches cut into triangles. I know. I know.

Having worked in the music industry, I can draw a bit of a parallel.

There is the original, then the cover-version(s). Some covers are great, or as good / better than the original: KD Lang's solo version of Roy Orbison's "Crying", Johnny Cash's version of NIN's "Hurt".

And some are down right WTF: No Doubt covering Talk Talk's "It's My Life", Celine Dion's & Anastasia doing ACDC's "You Shook Me All Night Long".

So, there will always be the original pizza, the original hamburger, the original brownie, the original XYZ.

But food, like music, comes down to ever-changing taste.

I will remember, and will always love the original "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, but Jeff Buckley's version is my current favourite. I remember, and will always love a pepperoni pizza, but right now, I'm not really eating meat, so pizza fungi is on my regular rotation. I welcome recipes to inspire my choices.

Never know, I will try and fail at many attempts to nourish myself, but at least I'm curious, at least I'm up for some jazz now and then.

So, to this thread, I quote Sir Paul McCartney: "You used to say 'live and let live' (I know you did, I know you did, I know you did), but in this ever-changing world in which we live in, makes you give in and cry... live and let die"
