    ISO Birthday dinner idea at a restaurant

    Hey, sorry I sort of dissapeared for a while. I'd like to say I've been busy but that would be a lie (except for a few days ago when I had an old pal visit for three days). But mostly, no excuse! Anyways, I'm going to this resturaunt tomorrow with my gal pals for my birthday. Can someone help me...

    I made the Pillsbury Bakeoff winner "Million Dollar Chicken" tonight...

    I made it after seeing it on Oprah recently. A cooking mom won a million dollars for coming up with this very simple recipe that used two Pillsbury products. It was pretty good. The waffles in the stuffing were nice and chewy, and had a savory chicken flavor. But I wasn't extatic about the...

    Costco. Frogurt. Now.

    Have you tried the softserve nonfat yogurt at costco? My God, I tried one today and it was the best bloody nonfat thing I'd ever tasted! It isn't to calorie-laden and is fur-reeking-yummy. My mom got the one with berries on top. I should have gotten the sundea, but I got the choco-vanilla swirl...

    How many calories in a pound of muscle?

    I know it takes 3500 excess calories to gain 1 lb of fat, but how many calories (probably mostly protein calories I'd imagine) plus weightlifting does it take to gain 1 lb of muscle? I don't know how to figure it out, but I would imagine it would be less calories than in a pound of fat, since...

    Click here to have your next Sub chosen for you

    I know its probably annoying that I start chain threads, but this should be really fun if people actually do it. *Note: It is probably best not to post if you don't live a reasonable distance from a Subway resuraunt. Post what sub from Subway the person aboave you is going to eat next. Soon...

    When to eat the whipped cream.

    Whenever I get a Frappicino at Starbucks, I always seem to find that by time I get to the end of my drink either a) the whipped cream has mysteriously dissapeared or b) the whipped cream thats left is impossible to suck up through a straw. Probably because they use whipped LIGHT cream, reddi...

    Big announcment: I'm a girl

    Because everyone on here probably thinks I'm a guy, only because my name/avatar is not specifically faminine (and girls always have to come up with feminine ones. Guys don't have to come up with masculine ones though, of course....) And I also realize now that my avatar is a bit on the masculine...

    Why is it that every now and then words in our posts are highlighted?

    And then when you click on them, you get basically a bunch of ads for products with that word in them. Like I recently posted, "definatly vanilla" and the vanilla was highlighted for some reason. Then I went back later and it wasn't. Why does this happen and why is it only sometimes?

    The 'or' Food Game

    Just post two food items (it might be nice if they fit into the same food category, but they don't have too) and post "do you prefer [food item 1], or [food item 2]?" Or maybe post "[food item 1] or [food item 2] or [food item 3]...?" There isn't really a limit to how many choices you can give...

    Thomas Kemper Soda

    Has anyone tried Thomas Kemper soda? It only comes in six flavors and I'd have to say its the best tasting soda I've ever had by far. To even compare it to say Coke or Pepsi, even the good kind that comes in the old fashioned glass bottles (as in made with real sugar instead high fructose corn...

    I'll rate your peanut butter sandwich.

    I love peanut butter sandwhiches, and am always looking for a new way to add an interesting twist. Peanut butter and jelly, the most popular combination, is definatly not my favorite. Since preschool I've discovered Peanut-butter and banana, peanut-butter and honey, and in fact just peanut...

    The difference between yellow cheddar and white cheddar

    Its the color. Thats it. Read this, fourth paragraph, "White vs. Yellow". http://gremolata.com/andyshay04.htm My whole life is a lie. No, I'm just really shocked is all. I swear I can taste the difference when I buy "white cheddar" cheese products that are constantly hitting the shelves these...

    Healthy butter/margarine alternative I found at the store today.

    Its made from olive oil, is seventy calories a tablespoon, and tastes honestly a lot better than milkfat AND vegetable fat spreads. It tastes like super rich premium butter and spreads like margerine. Its still fat, but its actually the healthy kind. Like margerine, its cholestorol free. I...

    A small pizza for my lunch + dinner. I got it like this. The left half: Tomatoe-Herb Sauce +Olive Oil +Roasted Garlic +Mozerrella (standard unless you order something else) plus Gargonzola, Fontina, Chevre (goat cheese), parmesian sausage, walnuts, and a bed of spinach beneath the cheese. Plus...

    Burgers with shakes?

    The other night I had a burger and a shake and realized: this is a discusting combination. I refrained from drinking the shake until after I'd finished the burger and had it as dessert instead. I mean think about it: beef with ice cream? Burgers and fries, thats understandable, its beef and...

    If you made less of something in a muffin tin, would you cook it for less time?

    I ask because last night I decided to make molten flourless chocolate cakes in my muffin tin that were supposed to be gooey on the inside. I followed the recipe, but I only used half of each ingredient (just chocolate, butter, and eggs) because I realized I only had 1/4 lb chocolate instead of...

    Awesome sushi place.

    I went to a sushi bar today for only the second time in my life (first expirence was baaaad, I spilled orange eggs all over myself and hated the food). Today's though wasn't a traditional one at all. Everyone in the little resturant sat around this big rectangular bar. There was a flowing water...

    Call me crazy, but a cheddar cheesecake?

    So I was watching The Secret Life of Cheesecake today, as I amb addicted to the Food Network, and I was watching all about the different types of cheesecake from all around the world. Outside of the US, every country pretty much has its own kind of cheesecake besides cream cheese. The French use...
