"I just prefer being a carnivore" *pushes up nerd classes* Ahem, sir, I believe the term you are looking for is "omnivore". Thank you.

All kidding aside, great review! It's making me hungry just looking at it!

Pasta with fresh basil and vinaigrette please!

Thanks for all the advice! :) I will definitely be trying the cut-up sandwich idea! I have to say, it is charming that some of you think we get breaks or wear gloves.

Wow, I was tempted enough to actually set up an account, give them my credit card info and apply the discount and... it doesn't show up. For a 'gourmet' website, their set-up is TERRIBLE.

Whoa, a little late returning to the party on this one. I'm sure we're all over it now but just so everyone knows: my boyfriend and I have lived together for almost four years. We're getting engaged soon but I don't want to go around calling him fiancee until it happens (also, fiancee seems like a silly term to me anyways :D). I have no other name to denote his significance and I'm sorry that the term boyfriend caused so much confusion.

Would I eat it? Yes. Am I going to regularly? No. Just like now, I'm going to save my money and spend it on real, quality meat.
My only fear would be that lab meat would become popular enough to shut down farms and drive up the cost. Or maybe, with large factories being unable to compete, it will give small, local farms the edge in the real meat market... I don't know, I'll have to see. If they can lab grow things like dinosaur, mammoth and, yes, human meat I will be first in line. For beef, I'll stick to locally grown prime rib, thanks.

only tangentially related, but ya'll should look up the different Ayurvedic body types. I mention it because the type you are can dictate what foods you are attracted to and it's creepily true for my bf and I. He loathes pasta and could eat just salad, just plain spinach, every night. For me, I can eat salad once and a while but I just don't GET colds foods. He hates sweet potatoes and I can't get enough. We basically decided it was our body types dictating what foods we are attracted to and sadly, we are exact opposites. It makes dinner very tricky!

Huh, interesting. I have never gotten a single pop-up while visiting this site. Are ya'll using the latest version of Firefox? Not sure why I'm escaping the deluge :P

I think Larikatz is essentially agreeing with you guys but my only gripe is cooking multiple dishes. It's five people, I'm not going to make two or three dishes for four of my friends. I dunno, maybe I'm just lazy. I feel like it's way easier to just make one main dish that fits everyones needs.

I like both for peanut butter. I usually have chunky in the house but stealing a spoon of smooth (especially Jif) feels decadent somehow. The more filling chunky stops me from eating the whole jar :D
I like my OJ like I like my insects. Not in my house or anywhere near me.

Good lord, did someone up there seriously mention Zippy's? I second the KCC market, I go there every Saturday! If you're coming in on Sat though, you might not be able to get there.
If you're staying in Waikiki I would recommend Lulus. It's at the very end of the row but I like their food. If you want greasy burgers there's a really good burger place just up the block from there in the Queen Kapiolani hotel. If you have a car I could keep going. It really depends on where you're staying.

This probably seems obvious, but pre-sliced is your friend! It's great to bring fruit and all, but struggling at a roadside stop to cut up your pears is a pain! When we remember, it's always such a treat to just scarf fruit slices with no hassle on the road. I don't know how well that would hold up though.
We discovered this last year, heirloom tomato, avocado and sliced salami french bread sandwich. SO GOOD. It's our go-to travel sandwich but I'm not sure why because it's kind of messy! :D

There was a place in Seattle that used to sell those potatos swirls called "Pornado". I am not even kidding. It shut down quickly because no one ever went in, but I always got a giggle walking by.
