Dan's wine

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Sat, 09 May 2009 20:39:44 GMT

I just bought Dan's chardonnay in Stew Leonards!!!! (its a local wine store chain) Now....its his new Sonoma brand chardonnay, and the description is the same as the Canadian one (even the bottles are almost identical). I had such hope that it would taste the same- it doesn't. While I do like it (and Pauline knows how picky I am about chardonnay), it does taste different from the Canadian one- and the Canadian one is better. My neighbour Sue and I just sat and polished off both...

Oh Paulineeeee.......

feeds@yuku.com (Izzy75) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 09:13:21 GMT

Yesterday me Vera and Liz were talking about funnel cake in Atlantic city, so i googled it and funnel cake seems very similar to "farturas", something we eat here at fairs.

Food for when you're hung-over

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:59:16 GMT

Ok, so I realize not everyone here drinks. (or doesn't drink anymore) But if you do/did and you occassionally have/had a little too much- what type of food do you crave in the morning?

I could kill for McDonalds today. I don't think it's ever sounded as good to me as right now. LOL I just emailed my friend Ana and begged her to go with me at lunch.

Candy Canes

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:19:41 GMT

There are so many flavors now! Do you have a favorite? Or is the old stand-by best?
Do you use them to decorate, or just to eat? Or both?

How weird

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:34:39 GMT

OK, has anyone else ever had the inside of their mouth get SORE, from eating something?
I am not talking about burning it, or anything like that. I am talking about- you eat something..and the skin inside your mouth, gets sore after? A little rough? Like whatever you ate, rubbed it wrong, or something?

I get like that if I eat Fritos.....

A cooking affair

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:14:41 GMT

Tonight I'm going to a cooking class. My company sponsored it. We're leaving early today to go into NYC to the Culinary Institute. We will prepare an appretizer, main course, 2 sides and dessert. Then we get to eat and drink wine. LOL The menu is:

Appetizer…Tuscan Bread, Tomato, and Basil Salad

Meat

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:13:20 GMT

Do you eat meat? Are you a vegetarian? Vegan?
If you eat meat, is there any kind you don't eat? What kind of meat do you eat the most of?
(yes, I realize how dirty this sounds. )

I eat mostly chicken and turkey. I do eat red meat, usually the leaner cuts. Mostly filet mignon and sirloin tips. When I buy hamburgers or chopped sirloin, I...

Homemade dark chocolate cake

I made both the cake and the icing from scratch, using Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder.

Grilled chicken wraps

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:58:34 GMT

I had the new grilled chicken wraps from Wendy's for lunch today and they are delicious!!
Grilled chicken, shredded cheddar, lettuce and honey mustard dressing inside a wrap. I normally don't love honey mustard (I'm not big on dressings) but this was very good.
I highly recommend it!

Regional/ethnic foods

feeds@yuku.com (gypsyvelvet) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:09:57 GMT

Guys-
Is there something you eat that is only popular where you live? Or do you have any ethnic or family recipe type foods that are unusual?

Oatmeal

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 13:59:34 GMT

We may have done this before, but........
Do you like it? favourite flavours? Do you only eat it in the winter?

I eat it year round. I usually have the Quaker Oats weight control cinnamon, but I also like the banana bread flavour too.

What's in your fridge?

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:56:27 GMT

We haven't done this in a while.....
Right now. If it is stuffed full, just give a general overview! LOL ">
If it is sparse, tell us what is in there!

Mine is very sparse. I was trying to get rid of things before I left. I have a pitcher of iced tea, ranch dressing, 3 bottles of bbq sauce (different flavours), 1 apple,...

Brown bagging it

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:09:58 GMT

Do you bring your lunch with you to work daily? Do you buy daily? Combo of both? If you don't currently work outside your home, when you did 'go to work', what did you do?

I used to go out to lunch every day, but that is too expensive. I made a resolution to bring my lunch daily and I've been really good about sticking to it. I do go out for lunch once a week- which is affordable.

That doesn't mean I don't slip up. LOL Sometimes I'll have a Lean Cuisine in the frig and when...

Caffeine

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:41:02 GMT

Can you have it, anytime? Or do you have to be careful, so you don't get too "wired"?
I have been trying to cut it out when possible, but can't seem to kick the habit altogether.

Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts.

Fruitcake

feeds@yuku.com (Katja73) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 13:20:07 GMT

Someone on TV was just ntalking about making this and it got me thinking.....

Tell me no one here gives it as gifts. LOL

Have you ever? Do you ever eat it? Do you like getting it as a gift, or do you use it as a doorstop?
