@MissBrownEyes - please reread my comment. At NO POINT did I suggest that a person be FORCED TO BREAK OUT OF THEIR SHELL. In fact, I strongly suggested taking baby steps. Perhaps you should carefully read a person's comment before rushing to criticize them.

When I was growing up, our neighbor would make an angel food cake for our birthdays, and patchwork frost it (different flavors) and cover certain sections with M&Ms. It would be a trainwreck. I found out later that she was (is) schizophrenic. It's kind of a stigma for me now, so I would have to vote for keeping the candy off the cake.

@db - lol! I have many tradeshow-harvested canvas bags from my short stint in the front-end pharma industry...promoting an incontinence drug and an erectile dysfunction device (unfortunately, not a joke). It would be nice to get looks of approval from fellow shoppers instead of omg-what's-wrong-with-her looks from people in the know about those particular drugs.

I use a wheel or chef's knife, but I've heard of using shears - doesn't that get messy? And lifting the pizza?

Mmmmmm...that looks awesome! I've grilled cubanos with McClure's spicy pickles and weighted with a cast iron pan instead of a brick.

This makes me miss beef and lamb...I remember the crispy bits - the alchemy of meat:bread:sauce...mouth watering...

Why is cooking a sauce the same thing as ketchup? Isn't there vinegar in ketchup? And lots of sugar? What kind of ketchup r u eating, Lou?

I promise to NEVER link to my blog...in fact, I promise to never START a blog. I tend to ignore these blatant 'blog promoters' (I don't know the difference between a shill and a troll).

@Alaina, how about:

...Do offer suggestions/feedback
...Do feel free to jump right in

There are a number of "lurkers" out there that don't have a hidden agenda, but may feel intimidated to post; their opinions and thoughts are just as valid as ours.

LOVE ARMENIAN STRING CHEESE!!!!

I like cocoa nibs, but have a hard time getting past the pieces-may-be-stuck-in-my-teeth-and-people-aren't-saying-anything fear.

And I can't believe POM and dm haven't chimed in yet...

I'll second the nomination for putting it on a sandwich. Also, have you tried frying the leaves? They're a great shatter-y garnish. Or add to any salad.

@soozm32 - you stole my thunder! I was going to ask what wine can do. :-)

Maybe if beer can duck, wine can goose!!

Chips & salsa. And chocolate anything.
