Marmalady, Thank you for responding in the spirit of this post. I grew up with three egg-laying ducks; we called them Patty, Maxine, and Laverne. (some of the older people, or fans of big-band may know why) Anyway, we used to get eggs in every color from off-white to mud brown to green. All...

Well, by the same token, a box of macaroni and cheese is pretty good, too.

Yes, but I wanted your take on it! Kelly

I picked up a sonic cleaner at a garage sale years ago. You put water and a little dish soap in it, put in your ring, turn it on, and in a minute or two the ring comes out looking as clean as the day it was made. Even if you can't find one at a garage sale, the new ones aren't all that...

Skilletlicker, Thanks for taking the time to write all that. While I won't debate your no doubt good results, it still sounds like a lot of work to me. For the rest of the folks out there who are not willing to put quite as much time and effort into really good coffee: I use a Freshroast...

Skilletlicker, I agree with you wholeheartedly. There is nothing at all wrong with friendly rivalry, and regional differences certainly need to be preserved. That is what makes the world an interesting place. How would it be, if everywhere you went, all you could find to eat were...

LOL! Thanks for that. You seem to have the same sense of humor that a couple of cowboy buddies of mine had. They were from Nephi. I really miss those guys! They moved back years ago. Couldn't take the traffic out here. Kelly

Hey GB, I think the only place I might have a problem with is Greece, and I am probably wrong about this. All the Greek restaurants around here, however, seem to put vinegar in everything. Pasta salad, put vinegar in it. Sandwiches, put vinegar on them. Olives, soak 'em in vinegar until that...

Thanks, Jimmy. I'm glad of this. My intent is to make friends, not enemies. Kelly

So Ishbel. Please tell me about haggis. I've never eaten it, but I am no stranger to eating the stomachs of various critters. I like Menudo, and Pho. Menudo contains beef stomach, and Pho, if properly made contains not only the stomach of whatever critter is available, but a good deal of other...

Jimmy, NOW we're talkin' ! I'm glad we can see eye-to-eye on this one. I'm sorry if I worded my initial post and responses too poorly to get my true point across, and thanks for being patient with me. It's apparent you now understand what I was trying to say. Thanks for sticking with me. So...

Oh. How disappointing. My mistake. :smile: But anyway, who would want to take Kellogs products to your wonderful country instead of sampling the things available for breakfast there? I for one just don't get that at all! I've actually talked to people who have toured the UK and Europe, and...

Granted and admitted, but I was kidding when I made that particular remark about chili and pasta. I'm sorry if it didn't come across that way. If you could have seen my face when I was typing it, I'm sure you would have gotten the fact that I meant it as humor. As it is, I have to rely on smiley...

Agreed. But if we never say anything, many may never even have any idea they are being rude.

Ishbel, Yes! Finally someone who understands! Their apparent attitude was "Our Kellog's Cornflakes are better than yours!" That is the attitude that offends me! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Kelly

Drama Queen, Thanks for that. Issaquah is pretty nice, isn't it? As to the Chili thing, I was just using that as an example. Unfortunately, I seem to have opened a bigger can of worms than I intended. You know, I hear the one thing Las Vegas is famous for food-wise is cheap buffets and the...

Jimmy, I love going to cities that are famous for things as well. I just don't like having people come to my city, and tell me how poorly we do whatever their city is famous for. My whole point is, I wouldn't go to another place and say to the people there "this sucks" and yet I hear this...

Please don't be offended; I was kidding. Sorry if that didn't come across the way I intended it to.

Are you responding to my post?

I agree, to an extent. I just get tired of hearing about how even the movies are better back east. I've heard the same thing about Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago, BTW. It's a completely different thing out here. Some friends of mine went back east to visit relatives, and when they were in...

Sure. I agree. My point is, just don't go complaining to your host about the lack of raisins, or telling them how much better the pilaf is back home when they plunk some pilaf in front of you.

Ah, now, Texasgirl, you disappoint me. I thought everyone in Texas knows what makes good chili, and that pasta ain't a part of it! :smile:

Skilletlicker, Thanks for the response. Many years ago, I was actually employed as a cowboy, but now, I am somewhat ashamed to say (after your post) that I use the decidedly "Yuppie" method of hot-air roasting my beans. I looked at the skillet method, and it looked like too much work to me...

I don't think I've ever seen a potato-chip can, aside from the cardboard "Pringles" variety. I'm not being a smart-aleck here. Is this a regional thing? I'm really curious. Kelly

With its creamy, caramel-like sweetness, palm sugar would probably work just fine, and would be an authentic addition as well. Another thing you could try is replacing the water with sweetened coconut milk. However, before adding sugar of any type, I might try Thai basil, or even finely minced...
