Hey, Ed. I've been enjoying your appearances on ICA. Any chance of your posting about the experience? I know that there's a certain amount of national-security-level pledges to reveal nothing, but perhaps some areas aren't forbidden?
Which do you think works better, dress, or frock? "Shrek in a frock" has the 'k' sounds matching at the end, while "Shrek in a dress" is a kind of near-rhyme.
Before Atlanta, why doesn't this Columbia student expand to the Columbia neighborhood?
Many people will be fine with this product. But strict observers will not consider this chocolate-covered matzoh to be acceptable because it is produced through machines that also are used for products that are NOT kosher for Passover.
A well-executed hand roll. Pristine fish, surrounded by the perfect amount of rice, with crispy nori on the outside.
You're right, hatless; the singular is hamantasch.

I knew a restaurant manager who would respond to the question, "Where do you get your fish?" with the joking answer, "Oh, the kitchen." (waited for everyone to laugh then told them the source.)
My sister, while in college, was super busy her final year, student teaching, finishing a BA/MA program in ed, and working in a private dining club. So her philosophy on cooking and food was "Ten minutes to cook, ten minutes to eat." Needless to say, she weighed about 95 pounds.
" i won't eat anything that's cooked in 30 minutes and has no cholesterol"

Not food-related, but the first time I heard "That dog don't hunt" I almost wet myself from laughing so hard.
Also, the one I constnatly heard growing up, and one of my favorites to now use on my own family in response to the oft-repeated query,
"What's for dinner?"
"Food."
When I was a kid, if I wanted something, my mom would say, "It's good to want." and leave it.
@chiff0nade, looks like great minds think alike (your mom and my relatives).
Whenever I was upset or pouty over not getting something I wanted, my grandmother would say, "People in hell want ice water."
And of course right AFTER I clicked "post" I thought of another (a gem made popular by my mother).
If a person leaves food on their plate, I will ask,
"What happened? Your eyes were bigger than your stomach?"
I generally use this when I'm asking someone really busy to do something:
"I know you're juggling porcupines but if you have a sec, could you...?"
When I see people staring into a fridge with the door open for inordinately long periods of time:
"It's not going to sprout wings and fly out. If you're looking for something specific BEND and maybe you'll find it!"*
* Also a good argument for fridge-on-top models.
If I want to imply that something is my default action:
"Nine out of nine-and-a-half times, I'll..."
If I'm in a particularly small space:
"There's not enough room in here to change your mind!"
I just gave my husband a take-out suggestion and he said "Let's not and say we did," which my grandmother said a time or two.
"Roman noodles" for ramen noodles.
The Shrek remark made me laugh out loud!
I think there's a country song that says "we'll burn that bridge when we get there." A friend of mine used to play that song in her car all...the...time. I just googled the lyric and it's by Brooks & Dunn.
How about "Always the mermaid, never the bride"?
In the eating genre, family members of several generations like to say, "My eyes are bigger than my stomach."
