We usually get Dearborn hotdogs at Comerica park for Tiger games (better than Ballpark by far!) For Red Wings games we usually hit up Lafayette Coney Island (but lament their use of Dearborn dogs now, less snap) and order a ripping hot pepperoni deep dish pizza at the Joe Louis. Little Caesars pizza is actually tasty there when hot and paired with a Molson, lol.

@lemonfair - Just a funny story, but my co-worker once left an inch or two of normal unpasturized cider in a bottle on her desk over a weekend. Her office got a lot of sun, and when we came in on Monday, the bottle had exploded (it was plastic with a pop-top), broken the ceramic coaster it was on, and the top tore a hole in the ceiling tile. There was also (now hard)cider all over the wall behind her desk. Super hilarious thing? We worked for a substance abuse treatment agency, and had a fermented/hard cider explosion!

Teachertalk: You can bake or otherwise cook meatballs in sauce separate from sauce that doesn't contain meatballs.

I love pickled beets, especially my mom's! I would eat them on a cracker or crostini with a creamy goat cheese. I also like them in salads (especially a Greek salad.) Replace cranberry sauce/jelly with them at Thanksgiving, etc.

I just make sure the tie is on tightly, then throw it in the freezer. I don't put it in any other bag, foil, etc. and it's fine. But, I have a newer fridge that I clean once a week, so I don't usually have problems with smells/odors seeping into things.

Adam: New awesomeness, Puffins PB and chocolate pre-mixed in one box!

Also, mixing chocolate Cheerios with banana Cheerios is awesome.

Brunch at Border Grill is a MUST! We went early on a Sunday with a reservation and there was no one else in the restaurant. We ate nearly every dish on the menu - it's unlimited with unlimited mimosas.

The Tequila bar at Bally's has $2 frozen margaritas and you can get a plate of decent nachos for $15-16 - it's enough to feed four people, at least.

Burger Bar was good, but I honestly wasn't that impressed with any of the side dishes. I like Bagger Daves better! ha! The fries sucked and so did my husband's mozz sticks (which, I don't normally eat, but these were especially lackluster).

Nobhill Tavern at the MGM was really good, but it was pretty expensive. The service was excellent.

NYNY has a lot of really affordable options.

I put things back, I would hate to be the worker that had to run around putting away the things I don't want. If I decide I don't want something from the meat/deli counter, I just don't buy it next time (I don't take it back to the counter, I just purchase it). Yesterday I saw a large package of abandoned lobster tails at Whole Foods. They were very warm already, and damp, so I just pointed them out to a worker. Wasteful :P

Boiled meat, microwaved meat, old bay, and strong seafood (esp. fried).

You can buy an empty plastic Kcup thing you fill with your own coffee and reuse.

Cops and Doughnuts is a cop-owned doughnut shop/bakery in Clare, MI...http://www.copsdoughnuts.com/

A coworker gave me her cuisinart ice cream maker for $5, and I got a 5 or 6 quart (I can't remember the exact size) Le Creuset dutch oven last Christmas at W&S for around $100 thanks to a sale and coupons.
