Papa John Gets Camaro Back; Chain Offers Free Pizza to Camaro Owners Today
A little more about the car http://jalopnik.com/5344739/how-jalopnik-reunited-papa-john-with-his-camaro somebody put a lot of time , and effort into building the car he bought back, it's now a drag radial race car, and from the pics with the front wheels hanging in the air , it's a pretty nasty piece, doubtful it's worth that kind of coin, but still a nice car, it's cool to see a story on all the sites i go to daily, this one, yellowbullet.com, and bangshift.com....'love cars n food!

My last post should read :" hot n sweet", someday I'll remember to use spell check.
Roadtrip-DeathValley, Utah, GrandCanyon, Albuquerque, St.Louis
In Albuquerque , I would highly reccomend a trip, to Powdrell's bbq on central, I've literally had Q all over the us, and tried every type but white, and I gotta say, the sauce at Powdrell's is superior in taste to anything out there(IMHO,anyway!) it's hoot n sweet with chipotele, and a hint of citrus....killer stuff!, go for the brisket!
The Nasty Bits: Southern Fried Gizzards
I love gizzards, when I lived in N.M., a convenience store chain out there (town $ country) always kept fresh fried gizzards on hand, the perfect afternoon snack with a cold Dr. Pepper.

What Weird Family Foods Did You Grow Up Thinking Were Normal?
my neighbors kids always had saltine crackers coated with yellow mustard, then sprinkled with sugar, in my house my grandmother would fry chicken, make a pot of rice, put cream of mushroom soup in the rice, then put the chicken in that...messy, but gloriously delicious!, there was also a paste if you will made out of corn tortillas, broken down in a combo of bacon grease(with cooked onions in it), and water, then when it got to thick she added tomato sauce, a bit of oregano, and garlic, and a bunch of extra sharp shreded cheddar cheese, killer stuff, she called it sopas.

Honey-Brined and Smoked Turkey
Wow...I think I just drooled into my keyboard. This sounds amazing.
We're hosting my family for Thanksgiving this year, and among the guests is my ultra-frugal, no-bargain-is-too-good-to-pass-up, and "I'm an expert on all things" father. Several years ago, he had a bad experience with a Butterball brand turkey. He called the company to complain and got coupons for three free turkeys in the mail. Well...as you might expect, that made the pain of the terrible turkey go away in his mind and Butterball was redeemed. Nonetheless, last year, he opted away from the Butterball brand and went with a less expensive grocery store variety. While cheap, it was terrible, and he was sorely depressed when they didn't send any coupons in the mail. He's called three times to see what variety we've purchased and how we're cooking it. I think I'll tell him we're having this. Perhaps the only thing Dad likes better than a bargain is a tasty treat out of a smoker! Happy Thanksgiving!
The Best Chocolate Chips for Cookies
Chew on that, I'm happy to share with you the site for Jacques Torres's chocolate disks (or feves): http://www.mrchocolate.com/detail.aspx?id=58
Also, here's his recipe for the NY Times chocolate chip cookies: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/dining/091crex.html?_r=1
After reading all these delicious comments, chocolate chunk, chocolate chip, Valrhona, Ghirardelli, Guittard,.... I WANT A WARM CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RIGHT NOW!!!
Honey-Brined and Smoked Turkey
This has got to be the yummiest tasting turkey ever. I love the salty turkey meat with the sweet honey finish. Awesome recipe.

What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
in my high school we had 4 stations and a decent amount of options, yet i would only get 5 things - ever! friday was pizza day and i would always dip my pizza in the mini salad and dressing it came with.
wed was chicken ranchero day - chicken patty topped with bacon, american cheese and the obligatory lettuce and tomato slice and you top it yourself with ranch dressing on a kaiser roll and it usually came with baked mac and cheese - the line on wed was always rediculously long!
the other days i had a bagel with cream cheese, fries and an arizona iced tea. or cheese nachos loaded with toppings (i don't eat beef) or a cheese sandwich on a kaiser as i have always been adverse to lunch meat.
i am very surprised i have normal cholesterol these days - i can't imagine what it was back then...although growing up in a vegetarian household my other meals must have cancelled out the cholesterol loaded fest during the school week.
Vote for Your Favorite Green Chile Cheeseburger in New Mexico
I vote for Bobcat Bite. I also recommend Bert's Burger Bowl. Both are in Santa Fe. There's a small chain in ABQ called Blake's Lotaburger which has pretty good ones for a chain.
@jword2001 - a green chile cheeseburger is wonderful. I, too, was skeptical, but have since become quite fond of them. There's something about that sauce.

@jword2001: No prob! I hope your fave place is on the list. If only I knew what a green chile cheeseburger tasted like.. :(
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
in both HS & college (Tokyo), noodle stations (ramen, udon and soba) were pretty good. but in HS I rarely had time to eat lunch at the cafeteria, so I'd buy chicken karaage and yukari onigiri combo if I didn't bring bento.
My favorite dish from the college cafeteria was Bang bang ji tofu.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
In elementary school i loved the cold triple decker PB&J's... Also i loved the taste of the sloppy joes with melted kraft cheese but i didnt like the chunkiness of it so i would scrape it all out and eat what became a sloppy joe flavored cheese sandwich mmmmm.....i've tried to recreate it but to no avail.
In H.S. we had open campus so i always left for lunch. lucky me
The Best Chocolate Chips for Cookies
Sign me up for Ghirardelli's bittersweet. I've also used Guittard with great results. Nestle's Toll House are not wretched, considering they're milk "chocolate." They have a pleasant aroma, texture and taste - but I wouldn't use any other milk chips. I haven't found any that taste like chocolate.
What about those huge "chocolate chunks" sold? If they tasted better, I'd use them instead of cutting chunks when I need chunks.
As for white chocolate - bleah. It tastes and feels like pure sweet fat in the mouth and bears no resemblance to chocolate.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
Ooh - someone reminded me of the chili and chicken noodle soup my elementary school used to serve. I don't know what it was, but both were fabulous. As I got older & I was able to participate in my church hosted blood drives, I always looked forward to the half a peanut butter sandwich & the bowl of chicken noodle soup they'd serve to anyone that donated. MUCH better than the Ritz crackers & Lorna Doones I make do with now.
And yes - totally looked forward to the Thanksgiving & Christmas lunches, mostly because in addition to actual pumpkin pie, we got to choose a little container (paper peel-off lid) of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate swirl, or strawberry swirl. I always went with chocolate. Always.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
Growing up in Singapore it was Szechuan Chicken, Beef Kway Teow, with fat rice noodles, beef and greens, and Mee Goreng, Malay style curry noodles. All made fresh while we sat there patiently waiting, watching the woks sizzle and Mr. Ho flip in bits of this and that. Mmmm.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
After graduating I really missed cafeteria food. I loved drinking carton milk over ice and eating halved kiwis. The turkey a la king was so good back then and students would actually run to the lunch room for it. I also miss enchiladas on Wednesday, Mexican food day. Oh, and the lunch ladies used to offer Frito Pie on the side. Chili and cheese served from separate crock pots would be ladled into a bag of chips of your choice. I chose Hot Cheetos! It was so gross and delicious and would leave you with heart burn afterwards.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
This one is pretty simple. Number one is the rectangle pizza served on top of fries. I would take the cheese off the pizza, put it on the fries, eat the pizza dough, then mix the cheese and fries together and eat them. Very healthy.
Second was pita bread pizza. I would always get cold and wet in the middle, so it was much preferred to have a fresh one.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
1955-1958. Lawrence High School, Lawrence, L.I., N.Y.
Sausages on top of mashed potatoes with gravy.
I still think about it after all these years.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
I wasn't too big on cafeteria food but I always loved when they would have the special "holiday" hot turkey meals right before vacations. An ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes, a slice of turkey with that brown canned gravy and the always random slice of white bread to soak it up. Old fashioned yum.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
In grammar school, they made kickass french toast sticks. Then the problem was that they started out giving each person five, but a few years later it dropped to four, then three. Cheapskates. I also always looked forward to chocolate milk in the tiny carton.
I never bought lunch in high school because the food was revolting, but I occasionally indulged in one of those underbaked cookies.
My college cafeteria isn't much better. They do awesome wraps, and any form of potato is hard to mess up, but the produce is atrocious. They reuse the same batch of vegetables for days, the salad bar is continuously wilted and brown, and the "vegetarian station" always, ALWAYS consists of lukewarm bean burritos. Ugh.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
A few of my favorites: Tator tots, soft buttered roll (almost like White Castle bun) with mashed potatoes, tacos, chicken and noodles, rectangle pizza, and T-Bolt sandwich...Texas toast, mozzeralla cheese, marinara and pepperoni...yum.
The Best Chocolate Chips for Cookies
I use 1 1/2 cups Tollhouse chips and 1 1/2 cups Ghiradelli 60% bittersweet chips in my chocolate chip cookie recipe. The taste is incredible and the cookies disappear fast.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
Four flat even small chipped almost underbakes chocolate chip cookies for 1$. The bakery that sells the batter to my old school caf sells them in their store... six of them in giant plate-sized portions for about 5$. I get them everytime I fly home.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
I'm a vegetarian now, but I used to love Hot Ham and Cheese days. Was that a universal lunch item? Ham and cheese melted on a soft roll.
What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
Apple crisp. Oh, mama!
Greasy-crunchy grilled cheese.
Tuna Melts that had buttey salted buns too long under heat so they were gnawable hard in which melted cheese enveloped tuna salad. God-awful and awful good.
