A new movie: "...tell him to bring me a light breakfast -- black coffee and a sidecar."

Between 2 pillows... Those aren't pillows !! Planes, Trains and Automobiles ← You are correct! "As much trouble as I've had on this little journey, I'm sure one day I'll look back and laugh." "You think so?" "Oh, I'm laughing already." "Oh, God." "Oh, when that car blew up." "Was that seat hot or what?" "I feel like a big Whopper. Turn me over. I'm done on this side." "I'm afraid to look at my ass. I'm going to have those griddle marks on my ass." "Ha ha ha. Potato chips." "They're everywhere!"

Okay, frying bacon in butter is artery overkill, but that obviously wasn't a concern for this one-time sandwich. Did he not know that bacon provides its own grease? Also, is that powdered sugar on the finished sandwich sitting on the stove burner, a la Monte Cristo? I didn't see it in the ingredient picture but I did see the feta cheese. But that wouldn't be powdery like what's seen in the picture. I admire the finished sandwich in a circus-sideshow-freak sort of way. He definitely has raised the sandwich bar, so to speak.

New movie: "I had no idea those beer cans would blow like that." "You left them on a vibrating bed. What did you think would happen?" "It just didn't occur to me."

March seems to be "coming in like a lamb", so far. This morning on my way to work I was surprised to see frost from last night. The storm that came through left very cold air in its wake. I'm guessing it's still too cold to even think about planting anything. Has anyone started their tomatoes indoors, yet?

A new day, a new recap... Please don't assign numbers to your new movie foods...if a movie is solved before it gets put into a recap, I don't give it a number since it's out of play.

Caroled, which movie clue are you referring to?

Totally wild-@ss guess: Sixteen Candles. It has the feeling of one of those quasi-Chinese stereotypes that are in American comedies, but I can't quite place it. ← You are correct! The quote was from the character Long Duck Dong, the foreign exchange student, tasting quiche for the first time. Another clue for the movie would have been "Grandma opens a box of doughnuts and says 'Voila. Breakfast is ready.' "

A friend gave me a recipe for a cream cheese cookie-type dessert (that turns out to be famous in areas of Canada). A co-worker dubbed the dessert "smookie". Not quite a cookie, not quite a cheesecake but smooth like one.

Is good! You're right.

I was just thinking about that one. What's Up, Tiger Lily? ← You got it! I always thought it was a very funny movie. The full line from the movie is: "It is written, 'He who makes the best egg salad shall rule over heaven and earth.' Don't ask me why egg salad - I've got enough aggravation."

Another movie: Finally being old enough to drink coffee. Is good? Is good.

Another new movie food: "It is written, "He who makes the best egg salad shall rule over heaven and earth." edited to make the clue less obvious

New movie food: "Very clever dinner. Appetizing food fitting neatly into interesting round pie."

You are correct. Well done!

Is this Ghostbusters, where Signourney Weaver comes home and begins to unload her groceries. The eggs in their carton start jumping out and cooking on the counter while her refrigerator starts making noises and when she opens it, she hears the word "Zule!" and goes racing out of the apartment. Cue music! ← You are correct!

Correct. Spicoli orders pizza delivered to the classroom.

In the "Office Aromas, Smelling someone else's food" eGullet member jsmith posted: I was surprised by this reaction since I always enjoy the smell (unless it gets burned ). I was curious about the reference to how people either love/hate cilantro since I assumed everyone enjoyed the smell of microwave popcorn popping in the microwave. So here's the official poll.

Lunch time at the office is driving me crazy. There are designated lunch areas where employees can eat their lunches. But sometimes, when working with clients, lunch is served where the clients are...which, today, is right down the hall from my office. Today, the hallways are filled with the aroma of deli sandwiches. I especially notice the smell of red onions (I'm guessing they're red or Bermuda onions since that's what most deli's use in their sandwiches and I am imagining them as thinly sliced with a slightly sweet taste ). Now, I'm not saying this is a bad thing. But I seem to have this almost Pavlovian response to the smell of deli sandwich onions that is derailing my train of thought. My mouth starts to water and even though I've had lunch, I begin to crave a deli sandwich. A related story: In our former office building, our work areas were upstairs along with the employee lunchroom. Our floor had open stairways at both ends with the air flowing up one stairwell and back down the other. About once a week in the afternoon, one of our department members would pop microwave popcorn in the employee lunchroom and then, on purpose, stand at the top of the downdraft stairwell and open the hot bag. Within minutes, the downstairs employees would be marching up the stairs to buy something from the vending machines in the lunchroom. They never caught on to our "Pavlovian experiment". On the bad side, there was the time one of the engineers reheated her lunch in the employee lunchroom microwave. Her lunch was some sort of fish that ended up stinking up both floors of our building. I swear we couldn't use that microwave again for about a year without the food coming out smelling like fish. How are the food aromas at your office or workplace? Do they cause you to drool and get hungry? Or do they make you run for the nearest exit? edited for clarity

The trick to Krispy Kremes is to make sure you eat them hot. Before a store opened here, a coworker would have them FedEx'd out from Tennessee. I tried one and thought the same thing..."Big deal". Then my coworker told me to heat it up in the microwave and what a world of difference. I thought it was quite good. I agree they're not very substantive...a lot of suger and air, it seems, but quite good nonetheless.

You got both of them right! I am amazed you got "The Goonies" on such a barebones clue. Well done!
