Why Discard Stock Vegetables?

I've always eaten the chicken and veggies I've used to make stock. Always found them tasty!

Does this sound too disgusting to eat?

Been there, done that - even better if you crust the french toast with PB cap'n Crunch.

Any ideas for meals for chemo patient and her family?

I recently was part of a project to make a nutrient-rich dessert/protein bar type item suitable for kids undergoing chemo, not sure of the personal preferences in your situation but it's worth a go especially if she's having problems with protein / vitamin / mineral requirements and likes chocolate:

Who Likes Grape Soda?

Love the grape Crush pop, but it's the only one I'll drink.

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.

From Talk

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!

From Talk

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.

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 :-)

From Talk

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...
