  1. I've been doing a simple diet plan using Boost for six months and I think it tastes pretty good. The chocolate and the strawberery, anyway. I gag on Slim Fast in cans, I think the bottles make the Boost taste better and it's only like 40 calories more than Slim Fast. I've lost 30lbs doing this. Boost was just bought by Nestles. I suppose Nestles Crunch and Butterfinger flavors are just around the corner. I doubt any of these things taste as good as Instant Breakfast because they are trying to be fully nutritional etc.
  2. Hmmm.... Cockroach in the bottom of hot and sour soup, Chinatown NYC (and I ate almost all the soup... ) Long polyethylene strip, in a Knorr mix. Large stick, in a Stouffer's dinner. Mostly unpleasant, no chance you'd eat it. A nice-sized chip of mirrored glass, Old El Paso Salsa. Very nice, sent us scads of coupons.
  3. I've probably said this before but, around my house, we call it the All Emeril Channel. At my house, we call him "Hemorril" (as in Preperation H). I'd like to kick HIM up the notch, if you know what I mean....
  4. Are there restaurants that are NOT open on Mother's Day??? We like to go out the day before, it's a bit of a zoo on the actual day. Did Perona Farms one year, on the day. Very nice. Somewhat stingy with the famous salmon though, I must say.
  5. I saw you eat that iguana on TV Tony, don't go pointing the finger if other people want an adventure. Plus you were still hungry after your kaisecki (sp?) meal. So who's offering those root canals?
  6. Benihana in Summit was running an "Endless Sushi" deal recently. We thought it was a good deal and there was a wide selection of rolls to order on top of the standard sushi choices. Also tempura included. (burp). Call them and see if it's still on.
  7. We like Tim Schaefer's in Mo'town, GoodFellas in Parsippany is a recent discovery. We have a very good Thai place now in Rockaway on 46 -- Thai Nam Phet, I think. We have two kids, 7 & 10, so it's often one of the chain places if they're along -- too hard to concentrate on the food. They like the Teppan table places like East Tokyo, good fun at birthdays etc.
  8. Kidneys. Forgodsake they smell like pee! How hungry do you have to get to find that appetizing?
  9. In Rockaway we have the small but excellent Schwind's Pork Store on Rt. 46W. They do custom butchering, very nice quality meat. They also have their own smokehouse in which they prepare bacon that puts the store-brand stuff to shame! The have smoked pork butts and will prepare double smoked butts (ahh!) by special order. They make a variety of German sausages and have a small selection of European groceries. Neon sign in the window : DEUTSCHES WURST GESCHAFT.
