Taste Test: Gluten-Free, Vegan-Friendly Shirataki Noodles
These didn't use to be vegan or vegetarian!! Good to know they've updated - these are okay in soup though.
How many times a day do you eat?
I eat 6 small meals a day usually, peppered with "nibbles" too. I'm a grazer.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut butter, hummus, tzatziki, Nutella, confetti chip frosting, chocolate fudge frosting, cookie dough, ice cream, canned salmon, pickles, cocktail onions, corn syrup, the list goes on!

Who Likes Grape Soda?
Love the grape Crush pop, but it's the only one I'll drink.

Here's mine: What Smells So Good? http://yummysmells.blogspot.com
Soda, cola, pop, coke, etc.?
It's pop. Done. Unless it's a brand name.
Unexpected pizza toppings
Had BBQ eel & pineapple once... pretty good. My personal fave is cheeseless thin crust with mushrooms, broccoli, fresh tomatoes, hot peppers, red onion, garlic and artichoke hearts if i'm feeling decadent!
Leftover Hot Cocoa Mix
@ houdini - my best friend did that...
for the mix... into frosting, sprinkled on cake, in cookies
Apple Pie: Way or No Way?
Oh, and only my mom's crust... don't know how but she MAKES it!
Apple Pie: Way or No Way?
Way, warm (even if nuked, warm is the ONLY way) and naked!
Favorite gems/finds to dine in Montreal?
I'm way too late for this, but my 2 cents for most awesome Rotisserie chicken is St. Hubert http://www.st-hubert.com/index2.php (the sauce alone is to die for!) and I still like Cora's for breakkie (http://www.chezcora.com/).
Question of the Day: On Your Burger—Ketchup or Mustard?
Both, but no mayo... wait, does that make me too "frou frou"? I like extra pickles and hot peppers too.
You can only eat one type of cheese for the rest of your life...
Brie. Triple cream. Preferably goat's milk and Ontarian :-)
Eaters and eating disorders
"[T]hey all got VERY concerned and started watching me closely. It made me really really self conscious about food in general, as if people would scrutinize my every bite. It hindered me socially."
This sounds like me, now... I have a weird (and very limited) diet due to a host of allergies, but everytime someone sees me eat they ask me what it is, how I made it... etc etc... and by the time they leave me alone it's friggin cold. I eat alone mostly now, just to get decent food.
Domino’s Launches Line of Bread Bowl Pastas
What the... who THINKS of this?
Sushi lovers: Why is Sushi so addicting?
Definitely... it was my birthday meal last weekend, and the weekend before that, and before that, and before that!
What is your favorite snack &/or dessert?
I love (and I know it's weird) a bowl of oatmeal at night with brown sugar and cocoa powder mixed in. If I'm feeling bad I'll add a swirl of PB also :-)
Ice Cream: Way or No Way?
There's a soft ice cream made by a place near me called FlavrBurst... basic vanilla but with a ribbon of flavoured "goo" around each of the spoked edges of the swirl. Divine... and so many flavours to pick!
Mixed Review: Krusteaz Fat-Free Wild Blueberry Supreme Muffin Mix
Total agreement with the above commenters... toss the can and add your own berries!
If you had to choose just three vegetables...
Tomatoes, asparagus and probably either broccoli or cauliflower would be mine. Although, without legumes (ie kidney and black beans) I'd be pretty screwed since I can't eat meat...
Low-Calorie Ice Cream Favorites
I'm probably in the minority here, but I love the Tofutti Fudge pops. Fat free, 30 cals and 1 g fibre each.
Your Typical Breakfast: Weekday and Weekend
Weekdays and weekends for me are pretty much the same: either Nature's Path Kamut Puffs or pumpkin spice french toast with cranberry sauce. Odd, but tasty!
Name 5 THINGS ALWAYS in Your FRIDGE!
My sourdough starter
Savoy cabbage
Spicy salsa
Almond milk
Margarine (not mine but my sister uses a tub every two weeks [!!])
Dare I say VEGAN?
I made these (actually - MAKE these) and they're delicious... chewy and perfectly crisp on the edges. Made with silken tofu too but you'd never tell!

Look, all of us want more blog traffic, and there is no way we can read all of our collective blogs, but we should really make an effort to check out at least other 5 SE's blogs if we post our own in this thread --after all, not fair to 'shill' if you don't help others out!

So wonderful to have so many fellow writers! I actually have two blogs to share. One is my personal blog: www.thedilettantista.wordpress.com which covers, well, EVERYTHING, cooking, restaurants, movies, etc. I started it this summer when I was living in New York City for an internship, so it is especially heavy on NYC eating.
I am also a contributing writer to Carpe Durham, a food blog that focuses on eating in Durham, North Carolina. The blog was started a few years ago by Duke law students, and I am a newer writer. The blog is a great source if you live in the Triangle area!

@Madelyn -- KarmaFreeCooking is one of my favorite blogs! I love it. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into it.
While I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you food bloggers. The time, effort, and enthusiasm you all put into your blogs delights, entertains, and educates the rest of us.
Thank you all!

Taste Test: Gluten-Free, Vegan-Friendly Shirataki Noodles
Sadly I have dieted so much that there are times when even these taste good.
Who Likes Grape Soda?
I stopped drinking soda about 20 years ago.
But I miss Fanta. Grape Fanta. Fanta Uva. Very cold, with two straws, straight from the glass bottle.
So I've had Boylan's once. It's nice, but too grown up. Not sweet enough.
Taste Test: Gluten-Free, Vegan-Friendly Shirataki Noodles
The 'comes out as it went in' is what I was talking about--@Squeeze--I've heard it mentioned on numerous occasions, and that is why I've never eaten these or could, frankly.
