If you have not yet tried it I recommend "Cowgirl Creamery" cheeses. They are located in the SF North Bay on the coast and make wonderful products. If you enjoy brie, they have a few that are outstanding. Particularly the Red Hawk which has a very grassy earthy undertone. Never have a tried Emu. This was not even on my radar. Fascinating. |

What is this? When I visited my hometown this summer, I was blown away by how many restaurants that were around when I was young, are still in business. Also several Pizzaria's were still booming. I took my mini diva teenager, who loves pizza, to my favorite pizza place and warned her in advance that things may have changed since I was her age and could not get enough of the pizza. Nope, the pizza was still insanely good and the place was packed. The little pizza conneussoir finished one slice and said to me "yup, best pizza I have ever had'. |

So a good question for you would be, what do you eat when you do not have time to cook? I think that many of us are often too busy too cook. Its always interesting to know how others handle days (or weeks) like that.
My fallbacks have been:

When I was working full time and had a busy schedule
I always packed a lunch usually tuna salad and some healthy snacks..so lunch would always be filling for dinner when i didn't want to cook (during the week) I would A. have left overs usually a sunday dinner would last me a couple 3 nights b. a bowl of cereal c. quesadilla's (sp) d. soup e. chili cooking for one is difficult for me as i have always tend to lean on the side of cooking for a ton of people. sometimes i would just eat yogurt, as it was light and didnt sit heavy on my stomach before bed. |

I am about to admit something embarrassing....When I don't have time to cook I either just fall asleep (usually because I am so tired) or my Mom (yes I said it) sends me food. lol Usually traditional Mexican food. This often includes homemade flour tortillas!!! I am alright with that! I promise I am not really spoiled by my Mom. She just likes to feed us! |

A bag of steamed veggies Soup bowl of cereal leftovers I also pick up a rotisserie chicken at the store and cut that up. |
Tonite was hamburger steaks, with mushrooms, sauteed onions and gravy

Happy Friday!
guihong thanks for the sauce recipe! I prefer my pasta sauce with hamburger. Sun, we should definitely all try and get to together and make a meal! .. and you can be the meatball pro! :) For some reason I'm not a fan of sausage unless it's breakfast, chorizo or brat types. I also like German sausage for breakfast but don't know where to get it around here. I used to get it from a supermarket in CO that made it fresh in their meat department.
Nadeest, Congrats on your culinary degree! Hotels are a good business for a foodie. I work at a 4 star one (I'm not a chef lol) , however, they need chefs in their top restaurants and also for banquets and catering. They have different chefs including pastry and baking. Where in FL would you move to? You know, Orlando is a tourist area and has many of those jobs available. gaea thanks for the info on the fried chicken! I'm still craving some and gonna have to make some soon! Quote:

Good Morning Delicious people!
How in the world are you all today? Or tonight, depending where in the world you are. ruff, I like your idea. We should figure out a way to all get together for a meal. That would be so much fun and better than me trying to jet around to see everyone on the private jet that I do not have. An outdoor bbq on the beach would be my ideal situation but truly I am not picky a gathering of any kind would be nice. Perhaps Her Majesty would like to plan a cooking event to go with the next reunion. I shall inquire. I need some serious coffee. Super tired. A meeting that I had prepped for bigtime crashed and burned for me yesterday but on the bright side (and there always is one!) I get to avoid working with a client who is positively clueless. Speaking of coffee has anyone had Starbucks coffee made in the uber expensive Clover machine? They could have opened up a small foodbank for what that thing costs and I did not see the big difference in brewing quality but maybe that is just me. Its a one cup at a time espresso machine quality machine. |

Question of the Day
If you could have one "Dream" meal, where would you go, who would you be with, and what would you have. I want you to dream big here, people!! If you cant decide then pick two dream meals (or dream dinner dates) Lets see that creativity get going ;) |

They wouldn't open up early to get our last meal ideas but they will open for shopping. hmmmm. Lots of Walmart workers are planning to strike this week also because of it all. Quote:

Our bakery anchored the whole food service program, we made everything in house. 5 restaurants, buffet, hotel room service, VIP area, banquets and a food court. Like a Vegas hotel only not. Our Garde Manger kitchen alone was bigger than most restaurant kitchens. Crazy busy place. Loved it there though and I got to work with people from around the world. We had Chefs from China and it was quite hilarious to try and communicate and ask one another questions. |

Good I hope Wallmart employee's do strike and put those greedy owners on notice that they need to be treated better and for the love of mercy give them a raise and some health insurance billionaire owners!! |

That said, in my limited experience, the best food I ever had was this little steakhouse in New Orleans. I don't remember what the name was but it was on Bourbon Street. I had filet mignon, which was like sex on a plate. Oh my goodness, that was eating. My second choice would be more for sentimentality than food, though it was excellent. I grew up near Amish country, and my brother went to college in a town there. Each weekend, my family would go to this family-style restaurant that had ham, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, all kinds of things and homemade pie. I would love to take special someone back to Ohio to that place; like part of my childhood. |

Great reply. Just to clarify for everyone my question has no relationship to cost. A dream meal can be bread and cheese, or an apple in the right location with or without whomever you choose. I was just wondering what yall would do if you could pick up and have anything that you wanted. |

Ursy!! Welcome to the thread! So glad you are here my friend. We have so many fabulous people here, I thought, where is our sparkly fairy from down under? Fish Taco, very simple, requires however, fresh corn tortillias. I am crazy about them. |
