Unfortunately Named Candy Bars

It's not a candy bar, but the Japanese tubular wafer candy, stuffed with creamy chocolate and called COLLON has to be on the list.

Also, the Reggie bar, only because it was named after Reggie Jackson (who mistakenly thought the Baby Ruth was named for Babe Ruth) at his request. Comments from some of his teammates included: "It's the only candy bar that tastes like a hot dog," "When you unwrap it, it tells you how good it is," and "It's the candy bar with mustard."

What do you think is the best at home ice cream maker?

I have a Cuisinart that makes a quart at a time, and I like it a lot. I don't know if it's foolproof, but almost everything I make in it (with or without a recipe to work from) comes out pretty good at worst. Last night, I made low-fat frozen pumpkin yogurt. Yum.

I add _____ to macaroni & cheese

I second the "Heinz-only" ketchup addition, but with my mac-n-cheese I really prefer Vienna sausage and Sriracha. Mmmmmm. You know you wanna try some.

I like Gorgonzola cheese and diced granny smith apples. I got this idea when a friend took me to a restaurant in San Francisco called Solstice. They do it there and let me tell you...Oh My Gosh! It's the best ever!!!

To Annie's - probably the Mexican version is best for this, but others'll do, too - I'll add a can of black beans, some frozen corn, and salsa.

In 1992, in France, my friend and I stopped at an ice-cream truck and got a lemon pop that rejoiced in the brand name of "Zit!"--I still have the wrapper somewhere.

Mmmm I'm all about the sharp cheddar and tomatoes. Also the watermelon and feta and mint, but I'd add a little red onion to that.

I add _____ to macaroni & cheese

Ooh, Sriracha! Liquid Smoke! I might need to make some mac&cheese just to try those out.
I usually just gussy up the usual sharp cheddar with dry mustard, cayenne, and chopped garlic, and whatever other cheese (pecorino, gorgonzola, fontina) I have around.
I don't like to taint my mac with alien chunks of meat or vegetable. Keep 'em on the side, please.

A1 Steak Sauce. OR BBQ Sauce if A1 isn't avaliable. It's the only way I would eat it as a child.
