I love Special K Red Berries, I don't consider it healthy, but I do consider it comfort food. It is not unusual for me to have it for dinner once a month or so. (I really prefer cereal for dinner rather than breakfast.. I suppose that makes me strange)

Sourdough! And pumpernickel!

Butterscotch in hot apple cider. So awesome.

I irrationally hate burger king, but when ever I have to eat there, I do enjoy their onion rings and chicken fries. The chicken fry packaging is ingenious.

@Pot K. Black I got seriously addicted to Diet coke with lime, and then was forced to have diet pepsi, and wow, it tastes so similar to diet coke with lime. I figured out why people might prefer pepsi, citrus taste! But from a brand loyalty (read: irrational) perspective, I'll stick with diet coke. (preferably with lime!)

No, once I learned the 5 minute bread method I never looked back. So much more delicious than breadmaker bread.

It was the only day of the month that my mother would let me buy lunch, so it was special, but it was still pretty awful cardboardy yet chewy, sweet pizza. I eventually negotiated to switch to french toast day instead.

When I was in high school they decided to contract out the pizza to a local pizza place, so that was much better pizza.

Water, beer, and I'll probably cook up some of the veggies I have into a nice barley salad and other picnic foods as here in central MA we probably will only be without power for 24 hours at the most, so it's really not an emergency. Keep the fridge closed and the food will stay cold!

Friday's traditionally pizza night. Though now that I live alone it's a very rare occasion, and generally Monday's since that's when I have to trek to the grocery. (I'll pick up a frozen one)

yea. I hate wheat soft shells, I like corn soft shells but they are pretty rare in the north east, so if I want tacos, I get to have hard shells.

I was at a restaurant over the weekend that had a no substitution at all policy - with the exception of food allergies. Which really in my mind made me think that if I wanted something done slightly differently I would have to fake a food allergy, which I find extremely bad precedent.

I almost always order my salad dressing on the side as it's nearly always too much salad dressing and I don't like drowning my salad. I also always ask for my Ruben with the dressing on the side as I like dipping my sandwich rather than have the dressing run down my arms.

I also am somewhat lactose intolerant so I tend to avoid ice cream (and unprocessed milk) as it makes my stomach hurt - but I can eat yogurt and cheese - so I could see if I had a dish for dinner that had any dairy in it and then asked for the dessert not to have ice cream on it due to dietary restrictions, a server objecting on the basis of earlier cheese.

I love that you flew the burgers to NY!

I am all for vat meat. It is perfect for all the meat products out there that don't really need to be meat like chicken nuggets, hamburger patties, hamburger helper, hamburger in spagetti sauce.. All those occasions where you really don't need the flavor or texture to be perfect. It could be cheap and healthier. And it would be better for the environment. This would allow us to farm animals for the better cuts of meat in much more humane and natural environments as the cheaper products would be farmed out to the vat meat producers.
