Pickles

Is that like toe jam?

Chicken Marbella! Love it!! HAR!!

Really? Where'd you hear that? The greens are good for yah too! http://www.libby.org/nutrition/aim/juicing/redibeets.htm http://www.hungrymonster.com/FoodFacts/Foo...=Beets&fid=5458 http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s01t8.html

I love pepper on my fruit. Fresh peaches and bananas in a bowl with sour cream and lots of freshly ground pepper on top. The sweet and the peppery marry well in my mouth.

Not sure if he used Wonderbread, but my Swedish step-grandfather used to say this was a dessert item in his native land. My mother was treated to it many a time.

Cream cheese and ketchup on toasted, buttered rye. It's yummy. I think this was my invention?

Most fruits give off ethylene gas. When I worked in the floral industry, the rule was "keep your lunch bags outta the cooler!!" The ethylene ripens fruits like bananas, but KILLS flowers. http://www.aboutproduce.com/faq/ethylene.html

But if there's 65 employees....sounds like a great "boss" gift!

One can avoid "office lunches" by brown bagging and making that interesting. I used to bring a large Idaho baker and some butter and low fat cheese and micro it and have a decent filling meal with a salad (dressing on the bottom of the container, salad on top...ready to shake with a minimum of sogginess). I think if one has bad lunches at the office it's from laziness. Or perhaps lack of kitchen equipment...that's another scenario..

I get up late so I usually eat breakfast for lunch. But that almost always includes a salad, which I can eat at 10 am with no problems. Usually a piece of grilled chicken with that or some eggs. But it varies. If I am at a client's I will be tasting the food I am preparing (I am a personal chef) and have no need for a meal proper until I get home and have a late lunch...also known as "dinner." Are we confused yet? I was once engaged to man who couldn't eat ANYTHING non-breakfast item until exactly the stroke of noon. If it was 11:45, he HAD to have eggs or cereal. Never a burger. (Note I said I "was once engaged..." )

This is a joke, right? The poster may not have known the "blue stuff" is indeed mold. I must say that blue cheese is really the only cheese that puts me off totally. Eating globs of blue mold just doesn't work for me. In a salad dressing, I can take it, though. Spread on crackers....bleh.

I have known two people in my life who disliked cheese...saying it reminded them of gym socks, barf, all the usual "smelly cheese things." But I am not one of the cheese haters of the world. I can polish off a brick of extra sharp cheddar in seconds. I am a human wood-chipper when it comes to cheese. And I wish I didn't like it so much--all that sat/fat and calories can't do a body any good in the long run. So...I don't buy it very often because I don't trust myself in the same room with it.

I am really sorry no one thought of that dishes-on-the-bed thing when I lived off campus with a particularly slovenly girl who'd sit at the table eating soup, decide it was time to leave for a skiing weekend, and bolt from the table--leaving said dish of soup for the restuvus to clean up! As for room-mates pilfering food, I would suggest marking everything in ziplock containers and adding some threatening poetry: Rose Are Red This is Beef Stew If you eat any of it I will cause MAJOR HARMto you! Something like that...

The Brady Bunch cookbook! Does it have Alice's recipe for "Pork Chops and Apple Sauce"? Why yes it does...it's a bit more gourmet though, with the addition of lemon and vermouth. Page 189. I also have the Andy Griffith cookbook, and have made the banana bread (I think it was Gomer Pyle's Banana Bread ) and it was good! No hint of gasoline.... And there IS a recipe in there for Aunt Bea's Kerosene Cucumbers!

Okay..I'll bite. What's "Baby Bam"? A kicked down version of his spice mix? Most kids I know skeeve when they see anything green on their plates, much less seasonings in their food.

I lost ten on the Fatkins diet and gained it all back because I missed my fruit and potatoes so much. I am now on a low fat, moderate protein (chicken and eggs lately, but I add in some fish and turkey once a week), relatively low WHITE refined carb diet (very little bread, pasta, rice...but SOME if I desire it) and lots of veg and salads and fresh pineapple. Weight's coming off and I feel great. I can also sneak in a few Malted Milk Balls (I love them...) and a dish of frozen yogurt per day and still lose.

I had a hilarious old cookbook called "Cook In Your Coffee Pot." Yes... really. By a gent named Coffeehouse Jones. It was geared toward travellers, and all the "meals" could be perked in cooking bags in the pot. Oooook! Chipped beef on a shingle anyone? I have the Powter book that was mentioned, as well as some of those TV Show cookbooks like "The Brady Bunch Cookbook" and "The I Love Lucy Cookbook." I also have "The Twitty City Cookbook" by Conway Twitty's wife, and Letterman's Mom's cookbbok (no wonder the man had heart trouble!) I just love these crazy cookbooks with gawdawful recipes.

I always try to see things like Queen Victoria: "I don't care what you do, as long as it doesn't frighten the horses."

Ummmm....PICKLES! (any kind! )

I bet "the tribe" cooked him and ate him!! They're so weird, that tribe!

"Creepy" is most definitely in the eye of the beholder. Maybe there are some who think talking about food on messages boards, watching food shows on TV, cooking fancy meals, etc. is "creepy" when there are millions starving all over the world. When you see those poor, skeletal African babies covered in flies on TV, does it ever prevent you from getting that bowl of ice cream before you go to bed? See...you're a creep! We're all creeps!! Someone made reference to what the posters are saying on that Tribe board....well **so what??** Does it disturb your sleep at night or something? It obviously was facinating enough to bitch about. Just like a bad TV commericial.

Maybe I am just not seeing what you're referring to. All I see when I click the link in the first post is a page that basically has a message board about Tony with about 4 posts on it. Point me to the rabid part, please? Some of y'all are going off the deep end dissing a fan based web board? Talk about getting a life, eh?

I think her show is geared toward people who need dicipline in the kitchen. She's the dominatrix of trailer trash cooks. :::: Cool-Whipping :::: them all into....shape, as it were. Some people actually LIKE to cook this way. It's hard to understand but she's almost like a modern day Peg Bracken. Remember her and her best seller "The I Hate To Cook Book"? Her recipes were heinous, but they DID appeal to a certain crowd.

There are "creepy" posters on every message board, but glancing at the "tribe" it seems a thoughtful homage of a message board (that's still apparently in its embryonic stages). What's the BFD? People can't certainly stop fans from creating FAN sites, and that's all this appears to be to me. What does it have to do with Tony posting here. Maybe Tony will want to post on the Tribe...is he to only participate here and are we only to worship him on e.gullet? Someone..enlighten me. I'll worship Tony where I want to. Not sure if it's gonna be his "tribe" but..whatever...it's a free country.

If your Dad won't letcha, your Marmite??
