  1. You can definitely do this.

    My husband and I got married in Central Park as well. For our dinner, we went to a Spanish tapas place called La Nacional, located at 14th St. bet. 7th and 8th Ave (http://www.lanacionaltapas.com) We ordered paella, 3 different appetizers (as much as the table needed), sangria (again, as much as the table needed), and dessert for a price of $35. pp. We had 15 people.

    Ask for the front room, which faces the street. The back room is in the kitchen area.

    Good luck!

  2. Longtime reader, first time poster...

    Just finished churning the mango sorbet, and it's in the freezer. I made it for my mom, but of course had to put some aside for my husband (and for me to sneak a taste).

    I had to omit the rum unfortunately, since my mom can't tolerate alcohol - will this have any affect on the texture?

    I love reading all of your reviews, and I'm looking forward to trying more!

  3. I tried the plain version and liked them a lot. They felt a bit "dryer" to me than Munchos. Was the barbeque smoky? Maybe xext time I go down there I'll give it a shot.   :biggrin:

    There is a bit of smoke flavor, but I find the smack of umami even stronger. Both 'Torula Yeast' and 'Yeast Extract' are in the barbecue seasoning on the label. ('Natural Smoke Flavor' follows.) Also, a tad sweeter than I'd like.

    Next step: try the Salt & Pepper variety, but that will have to wait due to travel plans.

    I tried the Salt and Vinegar the other day, and was hooked. Told the fiance to pick up a big bag at Costco today. Can't wait to try the Salt and Pepper.

    The very sad thing is that as soon as I tried them, I thought of this thread and couldn't wait to post on the similarity to Munchos.

  4. After your post, FG, I all of a sudden had a craving for Munchos as well. Love 'em. Was about to pick those up for my train ride back into Manhattan, and then saw Veggie Chips at Duane Reade. I decided to try them - and they have that same melt in your mouth feeling that Munchos has.

    Don't get me wrong - I love the Munchos. But Veggie Chips is a good substitute.

  5. Definitely dairy products - especially milk. I don't drink the stuff so only buy it if a recipe calls for it. And then it's left to turn in the fridge. Same goes for sour cream. I never put in on things like baked potatoes, just use them in recipes (like sugar cookies), and then have leftover sour cream until I have to throw it out.
