Where are you from? For sure take the 101 down Cali then get on the Pacific Coast Highway for some more awesome scenery.....you will run into great places to eat along the way. Also Solvang (about 30 miles north of Santa Barbara) is a great little danish town with delicious food and it is so gorgeous during the holidays- a must see

OMG! I love the office...and cheese. Thank you so much for this post :)

Beer me five!

seriously! Thats truly a one of a kind event.....I'm so jealous.

When i saw dove i immediatly thought of the ice cream......poor birdie. Its all good though..... to each his own :)

That sucks. I see non-related food stuff all the time here. Like the one where someone started a thread called "whats up with all these one word postings?" or something like that.

I thought it was a common food dillema you were facing...sorry

Thats a tricky one because you obviously dont want to offend a co-worker that you have to see on a daily basis... but you also dont wanna dread lunch everyday. That would suck. I love it when lunch time rolls around :D
Are you going out to lunch with her or is she in the break room the same time you are? If your stuck in the break room with her then I would just listen to an ipod or read a book, anything to start sending out a stronger "leave me alone vibe" and for sure I wouldnt be giving her any more baked goods. Thats just steering her right towards friendville.

@happyeats- then dont waste your time posting in increments

:)

Oh I have to add this one-----my co worker makes taco salad with all the fixings and then she binds it all together with French dressing and salsa verde. So basically a big bowl of madness, at least thats what I think....maybe thats why she's alone....j/k :P

For the Anti Camp---Put a buffer of an order of fries in the middle of the table that way theres a distraction......

Pro Camp--Lets get together and try some new stuff!

Curtis Stone can come home with me anytime-I know he's not from FN but maybe thats why he's so yummy........

Tyler Florence back when he used to host Food 911 for sure....now he looks a lil weird :/

PIZZA-- because the only kind I know how to home-make are the kind you make with english muffins (dont judge) and cooked in the toaster oven. My excuse every time is that the kids like em but i'm always the one finshing em off!! ....

Oh and Pad Thai-- I wish I could make that at home since the only good place in town has a forever wait time.......

I'm no expert baker........ but I would make the cake on Friday like you want and cover it after it cools....... then on Saturday put it in the freezer an hour before your ready to cut and assemble. Good luck. I just made one last night that didnt involve any freezing :) recipe from Paula Deen---very delish!

I'm waiting for responses on this one too....ha ha! I live just a hop skip and a jump away from S.B. and I dont know the answer to this one ;)

I have heard that La Super Rica is great though.....next time I go i'm gonna hit that spot up for sure.
