You can always fill out the survey several times.

*Laughs* That's a great idea!! I am sure now and then my answers would at least make someone crack a smile.

I have been thinking about the "who would you like to cook for you" question. My automatic response went to "you must mean people outside of this thread, right?"

Where are all of you readers?

Post something!!

You folks all eat yes?



Come on people!!

HOLA !

ahhh the Farmer's Market. I still need to go to a few of these in my area! Maybe as the weather gets warmer and I get settled back down in life. There is also one or two grocery places that cater to fruits and veggies from the farmer so I need to check that out also!

So this got me wondering, what makes great bbq?

What do you all think?

Also what are some of your favorites for side dishes?

Speaking of BBQ one of my fav places is Famous Daves! Check it out! ooh ummm http://www.famousdaves.com/menu

A great bbq for me is moist meat. . and definitely sauce! Love sauce and the spicier the better! They have one called Devil's spit. holy hot damnnn. LOL sooo good! I think I like pork more than beef when it comes to BBQ.

I've also had some pretty good BBQ in KC Missouri.

As for sides I'm always thinking baked beans with bacon in them and coleslaw. French fries and mac and cheese are good too! and corn bread!

Just shared a big Carrot Cake cupcake from Costco with my dog ! OMG it was so good !

What does everyone have cooking today?

I made a giant breakfast this morning with a piece of french toast, a fruit yogurt parfait, home fries grilled with onion, mushroom and pepper, sausage and one egg over medium.

I also had morning blend tea.


I am trying to decide what I will have for lunch, now.

[TheMerryFairy]

What is everyone eating today???


I have eaten very well so far today and I haven't even gotten to the icing on the cake yet!!!!!

For breakfast I stopped at a local coffee shop where I was bought TWO cups of deliciousness to start my day. The first was a chai latte and the second was a hazelnut caramel espresso macchiato. THAT kickstarted my energy, if I wasn't already alert. THEN I was surprised with gifts, homemade baked goods and really cool balloons so I must have been levitating by then!

Work is going to be crazy this week so my boss was determined to surprise me somehow at the shop. I walked into sweet birthday flowers, some pastery on the counter and an everything bagel with light jalapeno cream cheese. Apparently I needed to spice it up today *laughs* My station was decorated simply with a few streamers and a box with a card and bow attached. He is too good to me.

I had a great day filled with laughs, a smile that didn't leave my face, great energy, fun talks and beautiful birthday wishes and it's not even over!!

My boss demanded I take lunch, instead of overworking myself. I was worried because it was so busy of course. He handled that by announcing his birthday party idea and the clients could have cookies and tea or coffee if they wished. It seemed to make the shop more busy (the party blowers didn't help) but calm at the same time.

He ordered subway for all of the staff and after the clients had their goods, we had 30 minutes before anyone showed back up.

My birthday meal for tonight is - deep fried cheese ravioli with marinara to dip, a grape leaf, mixed lettuce and cabbage sald with beef, veggies, apricot and a light honey garlic vinigrette, chicken and chorizo penne with mushrooms, apricot, fig, herbs and a spiced tomato sauce

DESSERT : a homemade tiramisu cake that I am dying to dive into but won't because it looks so good.

[meridiantoo]

I am going to cook my first corned beef next week. Any suggestions, tips, etc.?

My goodness birthday girl you are having feast. I am really happy that you are having a wonderful day. Everyone should have a wonderful birthday.

As for what am I eating today, not much. I had fresh mozzerella, tomato, basil on a bed of Arugula for lunch. That is all I have to report. Too tired to deal with dinner. Need to get stuff done around the house and ready for another busy day. This is the last season of seasonal work for me. As much as travelling once was very alluring to me, I am craving being back home in CA.

Carrot Cake is awesome. I love it with Pineapple mixed in.

Every now and then I will throw out a survey just for fun.

Virgo Moon Survey:

Does the full moon impact your appetite? Not really, but when it does it seems to lessen it. (Perhaps because full moons throw off my sleep patterns and leave me slightly out of whack.)

What is your beverage of choice to have with a meal? These days, water and sometimes milk.

Name your Top 3 Comfort Foods: chicken and dumplings, cheeseburgers, pot roast

If you could have anyone cook for you who would it be? You of course, dear Sun! lol

If you could have a meal anywhere in the world, where would you go? Tell us about it. India. I love the flavors and seasonings used in their traditional cooking.

Do you have a Food TV show that you like? If so what do you like about it? That's a toss up between Chopped (for the skills I see) and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (because I always end up adding somewhere new to my list of places I want to try).

What do you want to learn how to cook/make? I still haven't decided, but probably will before you come visit.

For the non cooks, what do you never want to learn how to cook/make? I'm sure there are a few things that even I don't want to make, but since it's 5:30am I can't really think of what that might be lol

Name your Top 3 Desserts: chocolate chimichangas, classic red velvet cake, plain rich cheesecake

Create a new ice cream flavor. Give it a name: white mocha lol

Did I happen to mention that I love chicken and dumplings? Please tell me that you cook this. *hopeful*

Great replies! I had no idea about the Indian food.

White Mocha ice cream like the Starbucks drink? Cool! I can make that.

[Sun]

Good Morning Delicious people!

I have to fly out the door to work in a minute but wanted to say hola and invite everyone to participate in the survey that is up. Thank you ahk and dixie for filling out the survey. It is a lot of fun to get to know the different tastes and styles that we all have. Certainly some interesting conversations can evolve from some of our replies.

More later...Have a beautiful day!

Virgo Moon Survey:

Does the full moon impact your appetite?
-- Never really thought about how the moon affects my appetite. Working out increases my appetite; stress decreases or halts my appetite. I don't really eat for comfort. I'm also one of those weird ones who doesn't really like sweets. Candies sometimes, a cupcake or a slice of carrot cake, but I'm not the "gimme chocolate or die" type, not even during my cycle.

What is your beverage of choice to have with a meal?
-- I'm from the south originally (NC), so I'm all about the sweet iced tea. I also like orange juice, or water (filtered though-- I can taste a difference)

Name your Top 3 Comfort Foods:
-- Chinese / most types of Lo Mein dishes with beef and veggies; pot roast (I make an awesome 13-hour, slow-cooked roast); freshly baked bread.

If you could have anyone cook for you who would it be?
-- My grandmother (deceased, 2007). In time, my girlfriend or wife-- there's something so loving in cooking a meal together or coming home from work to your favourite meal "just because" she loves you. And I'm a cook and a romantic too, so I'm all about the "just because" dinner for her as well: table set, bottle of wine, flowers as a centerpiece, steaks and veggies on the grill, potatoes baking, salad chilling in the fridge, etc. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

If you could have a meal anywhere in the world, where would you go?
-- Probably Germany... brats with cabbage and potatoes, freshly baked bread, some cheese, and wine-- and dancing. A great meal is a celebration, and eating a great meal alone, a travesty.

Do you have a Food TV show that you like? If so what do you like about it?
-- I don't really watch them because 1- they make me hungry, and I swear I can gain weight just watching them, and 2- they make me envious as I don't have a lot of kitchen space to cook in and I enjoy cooking.

What do you want to learn how to cook/make?
-- Sushi, specifically the different rolls i.e. the Tempura California Roll, etc. It shouldn't be that hard, but some things... well, some things require more grace than I have with sticky rice. They end up tossed mish-mosh in a bowl with some extra rice and soy sauce. It's a tasty failure nonetheless. I also would love to learn to make spring rolls with the rice paper, shrimp, and peanut sauce.

For the non cooks, what do you never want to learn how to cook/make?
-- I like to cook, but you won't find anything with mustard or alvacado (guacamole... blech!) in my home.

Name your Top 3 Desserts:
-- Not really a sweets eater, but occasionally.... carrot cake, lightly-iced cupcake, fruit sherbert (lactose-sensitive)

Create a new ice cream flavor.
-- Cinnaroll (Cinnamon, walnuts, lil bits of cake... like those cinnamon swirl cakes)

[TheMerryFairy]

With the mood I am in, I need all of the comfort food without any of the cooking

[Sun]
