  1. JITB takes me back to childhood. Anyone remember frings? That was a paper bag with a divider i n it that had fries on one side and onion rings on the other. That and a bonus jack was the best. To this day every now and again I get the junk urge and go get 2 taco's and a small regular hamburger with secret sauce. They don't put the secret sauce on the burgers anymore and you have to ask for it. I would seriously kill for the recipe for the ss.
  2. Honestly right now I can't think of much I won't eat but when I first ate arugula I wasn't too keen on it. It took a little getting use to. Same thing with Vegemite. First time I had it I though I had ate a bottle of B12. Thought it was awful. Over time I have learned to like it and crave it. Some of you had posted about your tastes changing over time and I find that to be really true. There are things I hated as a kid that I am perfectly fine with now. As an adult I have found that I have gotten a more diverse palate where it concerns beer. Drank the same ole Bud Ice forever. Hated anything but that. Over the last year or so I have gotten into craft beers and the poor old Bud Ice is not in the frig anymore. Sorry for the ramble.
  3. So far I have found myself unimpressed with the rinse, lather and repeat that I am seeing on this channel. I was hoping for some new, fresh shows and idea's but not finding it at all. I do like Ching-He Huang. I have been catching her video's on you tube for awhile so I haven't seen anything new on the CC with her either. Julia is Julia and she will be a timeless classic forever. I have enjoyed watching her. Surprisingly, I have made a few of the recipes from Roger Mooking's show Everyday Exotic. If you can get past the music and the 30 times he says obedient ingredient, the food was really good. Kinda nonplussed by the channel as a whole though.
  4. Now sure if this is the right place but I am looking for a good Mortar and Pestle. I want some about 4x4 and am not really interested in ceramic or wood. There seems to be a huge selection out there so I thought I would defer to the experts. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.
  5. I was just shopping around for a good knife to cut vegetables with. I settled on a Shun and could not be happier with it. It's really thin and sharp and cuts through carrots like butter. Really happy with the knife. I also am fond of the VG-10 for holding an edge and sharpening ease.

    Costco

    Sorry to get back so late with the name of the company. The brand is Harry's. I am always thrilled to see their broad selection of different cheeses from different countries. They must have a buyer who gives a darn about the food they put out for them to offer so many varieties. I hear you. I used to spend too much money on a tiny block of cheese at Whole Foods or Central Market. Now I get an ACME brick for the same price. That Dubliner is good stuff.
  7. This is too easy, how about if they just look around the building. Let's see Guy Fieri, Sandra Lee, the Neeleys, dare I say Rachel........do we really need to continue? Bob ouch. Well you make a good point.
  8. Seems that the food network is casting for people who cannot cook for a new show. Link to article Show to air Jan. 3rd.
  9. Thanks everyone I will give them a try for sure. Sounds exciting. I'm really a huge fan of the heat.
  10. I work right across the street from Sonny Bryans. It's good food if you don't mind sitting outside. The inside is small and just has some school desks to sit at but the food is really good. Down the street a block or two you could try Mike Andersons. Food is pretty good too. They have loaded potato's that are big as a football full of your choice of meat, cheese, etc...
  11. Hi Richard. Is the restaurant in the shopping center with the big Asian market by central expressway? I live in Plano and I'm always looking for good Chinese food. There used to be a great ( I thought) restaurant over at Springcreek and Custer called Beijing. I ate there for years and loved their food. They closed down 3 years ago and I have yet to find a restaurant replacement.

    Sauce for Pork?

    If you don't want to much much effort in it I would recommend Tonkatsu sauce or bulldog brand sauce. It really goes well with pork. Even though it's a (I believe) Japanese sauce, it really compliments pork well.
  14. I'm not even a sweet eater but for me hands down it's Snickers. Second runner up would be Baby Ruth.
  15. I have watched all of the video's and made two of her dishes that came out really well. you tube
