They carry ________ but not _________?!
I needed candied orange peel to make cannoli last xmas. Albertson's and Ralphs not only didn't have it---the employees I asked didn't even know what it was.
One sent me to the candy aisle, another to the jam.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 80: Remembering Our Serious Eater Beagle Brass
Someplace in Doggy Heaven Brass is communicating with our dear departed Suzy Beagle, his soulmate. Suzy ate crayons and balloons with gusto. She got into the garbage can and devoured the skeletal remains of 6 barbecued chickens. Forget that bit about never giving chicken bones to a dog, she did fine. She did, however, become a bit bloated, after eating 5 lbs of ditalini and then taking a long drink, however the 5 pounds of blood meal fertilizer went down just fine.

In Season: Figs
This is California. Figs grow here. But just try finding some in the market!

Creamed corn, herring in sour cream.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Eggs on a raft. Of course.
Favorite frozen entrees?
Oh and the TJ's pizzas that are imported from Italy are fine. Just don't get the other ones--simply awful.
Favorite frozen entrees?
Another vote for Trader Joe's Tart d'Alsace. Actually TJ's has a number of types of Instant Food that are not bad at all. Their stuffed red bell peppers and penne bolognese in the deli section are good, and they both freeze well.
Trader Joe's ready made seems to come in 2 kinds--really good or really awful. Stay far away from the Mexican stuff.
Cakespy: CupShake, a Cupcake Milkshake
Actually, Sonic (the chain restaurant) made a "birthday cake shake" for their 50th birthday in 2003. Theirs was pretty good, though a bit too sweet for me.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
A Hole in One!!!! My grandfather used to make these for me when I was a very little girl, visiting him in Lancaster, PA. He was not a golfer. He was first-generation American of Swedish descent, who had grown up in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In Season: Figs
We had some good figs from the market this year so my wife planted one. Hopefully we can get a few before the tree rats er ... squirrels get them. I got tired of trying to get edible peaches off our tree so now I have a nice stack of peach wood for smoking meat. I need to get a gun while they are still legal ...
They carry ________ but not _________?!
get this. I couldnt get fresh basil at Shaws supermarkets more often than not.
In Season: Figs
Might that perhaps be "KADOTA" fig? On an Alaskan cruise a few years ago the chef presented an absolutely dreamy cold soup: "Kadota Fig, Melon and Yogurt" and I'm still trying to recreate the magic. Anyone out there have the recipe?
Cakespy: CupShake, a Cupcake Milkshake
I have to admit that I let my curiosity get the better of me and I made one of these last week.
And it was pretty awesome.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Some great names here - I love Egyptian Eyes especially! But wow: over 200 comments, and apparently no one else calls them "top hats". (And yes, I always thought my mother invented them, too. :) )
Cakespy: CupShake, a Cupcake Milkshake
That looks horrendous.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
My hubby made these for me for me all the time when we were in college - we call them Eggs in a Basket.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
@Ed Levine - My mom called them "Egyptian eggs" as well. I think me, you and Embackus's friend were the only one. It seems to be the least known name for them.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Eggy in a basket, from V for Vendetta.
Cakespy: CupShake, a Cupcake Milkshake
Bleagh! I feel quite ill... bad enough blending cake with icecream, but then adding double cream???? Gross.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
lighthouses still love 'em
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Everyone knows it's called a "bunny egg". My grandmother invented it.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Growing up Dad called it a Bulls Eye (from Rhode Island). We always loved when Dad had to make breakfast! He cut the hole with a shot glass so the hole was just big enough for the yolk part and the rest of the egg ran over the bread so you had to flip it and cook that side too! Just don't over cook it and it won't be dry. The hardest part was buttering both sides of the bread. I get around that now by using a brush and softened butter.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 80: Remembering Our Serious Eater Beagle Brass
Brassy was pound for pound the greatest hound dog the world has ever seen. He pursued food with ingenuity, stealth and sheer athleticism. Once Marcia and I picked up a Carnegie Deli corned beef sandwich for Vicky, who was convalescing and had expressed that somewhat out-of-character craving. Before I had two feet in the door Brass charged like a wounded tiger and leaped impossibly high, given his short legs and considerable girth. I pulled my arm up in the nick of time, saving Vicky's lunch, but Brass earned my eternal respect that day. RIP, Brassy. We'll miss you.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
ShawnaAdora had it right...and I guess we're the only ones....
MIRACLE WHIP right from the jar! I eat it sprinkled with black pepper. If I feel fancy, I spread it on crackers!
Cold Chef Boyardee ravioli's from the can ( a childhood vice)
Peanut butter
Eagle Brand milk
Garlic stuffed olives captured with a fork
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
@Traveller - you MUST have been upset. I can't imagine eating a jar of grainy mustard by itself! No, capers would be my choice, I love em.
BTW, congratulations on getting that dissertation over and to an old broad like myself, a "B" sounds pretty damned good.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut Butter; Olives; Pickles; Baked Beans; Chef Boyardee; Condensed Soup; Vegetables; Ice Cream; & Almost anything that doesn't require removal from the container for cooking. If it's cooked or sufficiently prepared in the container, I'll eat it right from said container.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Altoids? You must be kidding!
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
I love to eat my own canned whole tomato's a quart size, right out of the jar. Reminds me of my mom and grandma and the farm in Ohio, great comfort and memory food for me. coco
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
When my sister & I went backpacking around Europe we were on a VERY limited budget... many times we arrived by bus in our next foriegn city, late at night, hungry & unfamiliar. I remember eating peas & corn cold out of the can after shopping at the 24-hour food mart in Barcelona... Dining on red wine & dark chocolate and jumping on the beds in our Paris hotel room... Eating Brie out of the package with a Swiss Army knife... Popping Pringles & chugging Fruitopia at 6am after a night of dancing & drinking in London...
Definately pints of icecream, gelato, sorbet, etc, many nights watching movies with my best friend, or doing a late-night "icecream run" with my sister & splitting a litre of Oreo...
I used to bake peanut butter cookies & eat them out of the pan
Pickles, pickled beets, pickled onions, relish, sauerkraut, olives, salsa, pasta sauce, condensed tomato soup, curried spinach, mushy peas, pie filling, peanut butter, jam, whipped topping, salad dressing, eggless mayonnaise, ketchup, bbq sauce... and yes, margarine...
PS I'm totally underweight, so I can justify eating an "entire" anything, including bags of cookies, a McCain cake, a frozen cream pie :)
