Low-Calorie Ice Cream Favorites

i am a big fan of the edy's slow churned ice cream. particularly the mint chocolate chip and the peanut butter cup varieties. it has a consistency and mouthfeel similar to non-premium full-fat ice cream, but is around 150 calories and 4-5 grams of fat per half cup.

One Trick Pony Restaurants

i have been saying for years that i would have a pudding-themed restaurant - not just rice pudding, but many different kinds - corn pudding, yorkshire pudding, maybe blood pudding for the slightly more adventurous. there are plenty of sweet and savoury puddings that would work.

What foods seriously put you off your feed?

you know, not a whole lot, i have to be honest. pretty much:

offal, cauliflower in almost any form, lima beans, grapefruit.

of those, grapefruit is by far the worst. people are forever doing the "come on, it's ruby red/tangerine/apple/lots of sugar" or whatever the heck. doesn't matter, i can still taste it and i still hate it.

Top Pot Doughnuts Coming to a Starbucks Near You

i'm not sure whether to be thrilled that Top Pot will be available on the East Coast or upset that they are being sold at Starbucks, of all places. Which, given the quality of the rest of their food, will mean that the donuts are sold only after sitting around for a week or so.

The Best Grocery Store in NYC?

i must be the only person alive who actually DOES prefer to bag their own groceries. i am kind of particular about where things go in each bag and organizing bags by where they will be going once they get to my house. also, if and when my bread gets smashed into carbogoo, i would rather just hold myself responsible. :)

onto the question: i kind of hate the USQ food emporium - their prices are ridiculous, and their selection ain't great. i would probably say fairway in red hook or PSFC, although i generally would love to be able to grocery shop without fear of panic attacks, and neither of these places is necessarily conducive to that.

man, this post makes me seem so much more type-A than i actually am...

Ketchup Chips: The Search for Delicious

they used to be available at jesse's deli on bond and pacific. i would get them pretty frequently - even though i kind of hate ketchup, i found these totally addictive, like you said.

I eat ____ with cottage cheese

I eat cottage cheese plain as well. However, it tastes super yummy with tuna. I though it would be terrible, but it's great! It's easy and quick, which is helpful for those of us with pain and fatigue issues. I also like to mix pineapple with my cottage cheese. There is a brand (I can't remember which one, and that tells you how much I like it lol) that already mixes the stuff, and it's gross. Therefore, I just add my own pineapple if I want it.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I love the Tofutti Fudge pops. Fat free, 30 cals and 1 g fibre each.

I love how threads get resurrected!
I'm not a cottage cheese fan....I've never been able to get past the squeekiness (yes...that's a word! lol)...when you eat it.

I eat ____ with cottage cheese

I prefer 4%, but 2% is... barely OK. I like it plain, with fruits, usually peaches or pears, scrambled into buttery eggs, in kugel with crushed pineapple, with lemon curd, with apple butter and I haven't had it in YEARS, but I used to love it in the lime jello thing with crushed pineapple. It was commonly served with tomatoes (from the garden) when I was a kid, but I haven't served it that way in my home.

My grandmother liked hers with a big dollop of mayonnaise and black pepper from the big, square Schilling or Safeway brand cans. It seems like there were only about three cans and one plastic shaker the whole time I was growing up. Since they were probably one pound cans, that may be an accurate count. Really, it's no wonder I thought I didn't like pepper as a kid.

I eat ____ with cottage cheese

cantalope or canned peaches, or luction noodles.

I eat ____ with cottage cheese

4%, small curd, usually the generic conventional brand (although I want to start making my own from scratch, per Alton's recipe). I can't stand Breakstone's, and find the organic stuff to be too sour to me - cottage cheese should be creamy!

I usually eat it plain, although I like it with bananas and raisins, or with chili and garlic powder, or as a cheap substitute for ricotta in Ameritalian recipes, or with sliced cucumbers and a little lemon, or (before I was allergic to 'em) as bell pepper dip, or with my sugar-coated breakfast cereal in lieu of milk (strangely tasty) ... I like cottage cheese.

I love cottage cheese... large curd 4% is best but I'll eat others
Mia Rose- I love it with tuna and sardines
Miss Molly- I love it with Catalina, try cottage cheese, Catalina dressing and grated sharp cheddar cheese- looks gross, but is so delicious
and SRBrooklyn- cottage cheese with egg noodles, cinnamon and sugar is comfort food for breakfast

I eat ____ with cottage cheese

My father used to eat it salted with a liberal application of black pepper after having slathered the top with a healthy (unhealthy?) amount of soft butter. It was the ONLY way he'd take it.

I eat ____ with cottage cheese

I *adore* cottage cheese. 2-4% large curd if I can find it. Two favourite meals with cottage cheese are as follows:

One lightly toasted English muffin, 2 boiled eggs, a spoonful of cottage cheese sprinkled with cracked pepper and ample amounts of hot sauce. *drool*

Canned albacore tuna, drained then mixed with half cottage cheese and half salsa. Consume fishy dip atop wasabröd. MMMMM :D
