Soy Sauce--Do You Store Your Bottle in the Frig or Cupboard?

Cupboard - I used to keep it in the fridge, but then I moved to Japan. Nobody here puts it in the fridge.

Question of the Day: Which foods would you miss if you were overseas?

I've been living in Japan for a few years now... off the top of my head: cranberry juice, peanut butter (they only sell Skippy at the local supermarket), sourdough bread, good cheese that isn't 10 bucks for a tiny sliver, dolma, sliced deli meats (there's only ham or some scary looking "pastrami" stuff - and it's all prepackaged), nectarines, apricots, berries... I could go on for days.
Looks like it's time for a trip back home!

Question of the Day: What's your favorite doughnut style?

Chocolate old-fashioned or black sesame pon de ring (donut filled with black sesame paste, with sesames sprinkled on top - it's really good). Sour cream glazed sounds nice, too.

Question of the Day: Which foods would you miss if you were overseas?

When I spent my summer abroad in Italy, I think I finally realized how lucky we are to have so many options ! Italian after four weeks begins to be a little tiresome, so we found a convent in the middle of Rome that was also a restraunt and served fabulous French bistro fare ..When I came home from there I think all I ate was mom's fried chicken and turkey sandwiches.

Question of the Day: What's your favorite doughnut style?

Last time I saw a Tim Horton's was in Halifax Nova Scotia...

Cafe Du Monde is great for chicory coffee, but I would have to agree about the beignets being better at the other place.

Yes, I guess I have not seen those type of crullers around now that you specify...I kinda like my own pop-n-fresh donuts!

Anything without peanuts! (Sorry, I don't like nuts in my dessert.)

And my mom still gets a little teary-eyed when thinking about Chock Full O'Nuts nutted cream cheese sandwiches.

Question of the Day: What's your favorite doughnut style?

Oh my God Sanba! I absolutely LOVED McKenzie's King Cake. It's still my all time favorite to this day, followed by Tastee Donuts. What a good memory, thank you!

My all-time favorite donuts were the whole wheat & powdered sugar ones at the old Chock Full 'O Nuts chain in NYC.
Otherwise I have to go with the Dunkin Donuts plain classic.
I remember when they came with little "handles" so you could really dunk them. Mmmm. But not as mmm as Chock Full 'O Nuts.
