Kosher Pizza - Why does it suck?

I've never tried it, but they say Pizza Time (Ave J, Brooklyn) is pretty good.

NYC Korilla Food Truck Cheated on food Truck Race

"I've got to tell you, the part that really irked me about that was when they were walking away and one of them said, "He (Tyler) really made us look bad." Um, no. You made yourselves look bad when you decided to cheat on the game. That comment bothered me more than the fact that they tried to cheat. "

Like the one-liner goes, "I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you."

Healthiest bread

There is something called Ezekiel Bread. Never tried it myself but I know people say its very good (health wise, dunno about taste).

As for me, I'll take some good ol' 100% whole wheat and I'm happy.

Eating at Someone Else's House

Years ago, I remember hearing a neighbor say how she was visiting someone and was put up (including meals). The host served the soup and then brought the pot to the D/R floor where the cat(s?) licked up the leftovers. Granted, I'm not a pet person, but I think thats, umm, too much.

@dbcurrie: Not that I'm recommending using soap for flavor but I would opt for it over some other stuff. At least I know someone made an attempt to clean.

Lactose Free Desserts?

@Melissa-Rae

Here ya go. It makes a 9 inch (prepared- assuming they're still 9 inches) graham crust.

2 8 oz containers Tofutti cream cheese*
2 eggs
1 C. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice

Mix ingredients. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

*I think its sold under "Better Than Cream Cheese". Make sure you end up with the original/plain with no garlic or onion added.

Lactose Free Desserts?

Tofutti cream cheese makes a pretty good cheese cake, I'll try to look for a recipe if you want. (Theres also one using crushed pineapple.)

Are you looking for something specific, or just general?

Do you like getting a cone?

Cup. Why waste ice cream on a cone? (Or a wafer or cookie for that matter?) Ice cream is ice cream and it deserves to be given the spotlight.

From Talk

HEY..yer not supposed to use it for that !!!

A can of pam in a plastic bag makes a great rolling pin. (And if its cookies or something small being rolled out, the bottom of the can becomes a cookie cutter.)

Empty containers (oatmeal, pringles, anything) are great for keeping the fridge or pantry organized.

Kitchen Rebels

I crack eggs on the edge of the bowl or counter (or any edge, actually). Usually I wont add salt to pasta water and if its spaghetti then I'll break it into two or three. And probably some other things I can't think of now.

My kitchen, my business.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but is it just me or does the site take a looong time to load lately...?

Foods everyone seems to like but you just can't get into....

There is a saying in Hebrew "over taste and smell, one can not argue".

I don't eat olives, yogurt, sour cream, avocado. No egg salad, but a hard boiled egg will make it down. I don't get the big deal about chocolate though. Its good, and I have nothing against it, but I'm not sure why its so "wow". Chocolate ice cream is another story.

Re the whole wheat pasta, the first time I tasted it I thought never again. And then a few years later I tasted it again and somehow I liked it. I've completely switched over into the whole wheat camp, and a few weeks ago when I had white pasta (which I haven't had in a while), it seemed to be missing something. I never in my life thought I would say that. (Although I definitely admit, ww does take some getting used to.)

Hamentashen in Williamsburg

The Reismans (packaged, sold in most area groceries/supermarkets) are really very good. It has a nice flaky dough and a very good filling (fruit). Good luck finding any hamentashen though, they usually disappear right after Purim.

kosher column

I would love a Kosher (either Kosher or Jewish/Kosher is fine by me) column. And even though I would love a permanent thing, I think the rotating thing is the fair way to go.

High Fat Foods, Few Bites As Posibble

Not much in the way of nutrition, but Drakes apple pies are probably something in that neighborhood.

Smoothie central??

I don't have smoothies all that often but when I do, I think the absolute best is just frozen fruit. Frozen kiwi/strawberry/blueberries/banana/mango or anything else you're in the mood of works great.

I think they sell the Naked brand smoothies/juices at Costco. There is no added sugar and they're online at http://www.nakedjuice.com. The blue machine (what I've tasted) is very good.

Good luck!

Favorite Food Joke?

A duck walks into a bar. "Got any grapes?"
"No, and we don't serve ducks in here."
The duck walks out, and a minute later walks back in
"Got any grapes?"
"No! And I already told you, we don't serve ducks in here!"
Again the duck walks out, and walks back a minute later.
"Got any grapes?"
"No!! And if you come in here one more time, I'm gonna nail your beak to the floor!"
The duck walks out, and a minute later walks back in.
"Got any nails?"
"No."
"Good. Got any grapes?"

Avoiding a Mess

If you have a pot or dish that was not rinsed immediately after using, before washing just give it a bit of water (a good rinse) and leave it on said utensil for a minute or two. (If you're washing a stack of dishes, run the next one under the water and let it sit while you wash the first etc.) As for the bottom of a plate, you can let the dirty ones sit face to face instead of stacked leaving the bottom on both relatively clean.

The 232 calories thing is the point where you look, taste one or two pieces and then walk away from the table? Hey, maybe market it as a weight loss product.
