SE Staff Picks: What's Your Worst Hangover Food?

I get debilitating hangovers. So imaging you have an awful flu, where you can't move without dry heaving. Yeah.
Once I get past that stage, usually through forced water drinking/puking, I just want bread products. Crackers, cereal, rolls. Stomach-calming things.
Maybe yogurt later.

Other than that, EVERYTHING is my worst hangover food.

Needless to say, I've become more careful in how I drink. Which means I'm rarely drunk :(

Weekend Cook and Tell: What's on your Nutrition Plate?

I eat a lot of the same things every day, and it's all pretty healthy unless I'm snacking on things when I'm working or my sister made muffins/ice cream or we go out to eat or something. haha
- A LOT of yogurt, low or nonfat, greek is my favorite
- veggies, usually raw
-tons of fruit. I mean tonssss
-oatmeal, nuts, popcorn, other cereal (god I love cereal too much)
-turkey, tuna, shrimp, etc
-hummus and bread, tho I try to limit the bread. key words being TRY....
-cottage cheese
I use way too much ketchup, on almost everything, but you know, it could be way worse.


This morning breakfast was a large amount of low fat greek yogurt with some frozen blueberries and some raw oats sprinkled on top.... and of course an iced coffee with soy milk.
I tend to use a little more sweetener (truvia or splenda or whatever) than i'd like, but all in all I think I eat really healthily.

Straw Poll: Straight or Bendy?

Uh...paper straws?
I like mine to stay not dissolved, thanks. Other than that, I really don't care...I do like it to be long enough for my GIANT WATER CUPS though. Straws that are just a little too short are horrible.
I used to love crazy straws; I had little animals that went on them and I loved them! I miss my elephant...

Poll: How Do You Eat String Cheese?

Oooh, the word "string" looks really weird now....

I string it, unless super hungry, then I just CHOMP.
It's fricking CALLED STRING cheese. It's meant to be strung. Stringed? Whatever.
And I liked it slightly warmed! That's why it's such a good travel food (for relatively short amounts of time, not like week-long trips with no fridges).
Just out of the fridge it's way harder to string. But in any case, anyway you have it, it's delicious and a great snack.

I also sometimes slice it into rounds and make mini pita or english muffin pizzas with it. Yum.

Equipment: Which Food Processor Should I Buy?

peekpoke: my cuisinart doesn't!
I have an 11-cup one, and that makes a huge differences, especially when making huge smoothies :)
I think my old cuisinart would have lasted a lot longer than it did, bt it went thr a house fire. it might have worked, but the cleaning company lost part of it, so we'll never know. haha
I love it!
Next thing on my wishlist: VitaMix. My work has one, and it PULVERIZES ice and the smoothies are superssmooth. love.

Childhood memories

I have so many-- but a few that come readily to mind are:

Hawaiian Sweetbread = Eastertime at my paternal grandmother's house.
Stuffing = Thanksgiving (naturally) at said gramma's house.
Cheese (usually cheddar), lettuce, and miracle whip sandwiches take me back to summertime at my maternal grandmother's house. It might sound gross, but it's still a guilty pleasure of mine from time to time.
The smell ONLY of fried clam strips (as I don't eat those much) makes me miss the Cape like crazy, no matter how fishy.
Of course, any BBQing smell-- hamburgers, corn on the cob, vinegar salad dressing-- reminds me of summers at the cape at my gramma's house too.

I think I just ate a lot at the Cape as a kid. haha!
I miss it so much, I need a vacation!

Taste Test: Store-Bought Hummus

Ok, just need to say, I love Cedar's and Tribe, never had Sabra but intend to. However, my favorite is a hummus that I've only found in Stop and Shop (an east coast supermarket): Mythos Farms. It's sooo creamy and delicious, the perfect texture. My only issue with it is that I have a hard time stopping! :) I've only seen three flavors (original, garlic, and red pepper), but I'm not complaining.
SO GOOD.

What's Your Favorite Frozen Food?

frozen fruit-- my favorite are Wyman's wild blueberries. heaven.

i also like to freeze things that shouldn't be, or don't come that way, like pudding cups and bananas and yogurt cups.
you guys all must try jell-o pudding frozen, it's crazy yum.

then there are the prerequisite ice cream, fudge pops, vitamuffins, cool whip, waffles....etc. but that's a given.

where do you work?

I work at a cafe/used bookstore in New Haven, CT (if you go to NH often you'll know it, it's the only such combo there).

I don't know that there is a signature dish per se, as there is a plethora of ever-changing dishes and yummy baked goods, but the sandwiches are pretty constant aside from the specials....

The most popular one there is called the "Tempesto" (yes, most of our sandwiches are named after literary works :) ) and is pesto, balsamic vinagrette, fresh mozzerella, and tomatoes on ciabbata. yum!
Other popular ones are the "Jane Rare" (roast beef, goat cheese, horseradish mayo, field greens on ciabatta), and the BLT (apple smoked bacon, horseradish mayo, romaine, tomatoes, on toasted sourdough).

Songs About Food

I cant find the fricking lyrics!
I love this song, though--
"Insatiable", by CLP ft. Princess Superstar. SO awesome. Kinda dirty, amazing beat.
I'll come back and post the lyrics if I can find them; I'm on a mission now. lol

Sample of the food lines:
"I could kill a burrito and a combo meal
but I'm in grad school, only got a five-dollar bill!
Get a mexican pizza 'cause I gotta keep it thick
Can't let Gwen P. win the race for the biggest
ti**-ays
I'm known around the world for my
milkshake
3 a.m., steak and shake, mash, bake
Can you please order me cheese sticks and cheesecake?
If my cell phone rings you know it's Chelsay
and she's bringing the bid(?) cuz shes a messy babay
So all these dudes in my ear, it's nice to meetcha
But you're lucky if you even get a slice of pizza
from me
(something something)
batteries not included like Toys-R-Us
Flip me like a pancake, you can serve me up
Sweet like syrup, bet you can't get enough

--then some more awesome lyrics--


.....Break-break me off (insatiable)
got-gotta appetite (dynamo)
break-break me off (insatiable)
gimme-gimme handcuffs (ice cold)

and so on.

yeah. go download it.

Alton Brown's Sardine-Avocado Sandwich Diet

I think got too skinny. Alton, come back and teach us more about the science of waffles!!! (and have a few.)
stupid sardines. I can't eat those anymore-- I used to when I was really little, then I would hold my ear and my hair would smell like sardines. Ew. Another weird food habit from Dad (minus the ear-holding/hair-smelling).
But avocados? By the fistful. Yum.
