There is an Asian lady who makes a sandwich very similar to this on Penn Ave. in the Strip District in Pittsburgh. They don't have mayo and the sauce is some soy -ginger mixture and the veggies are marinated in a sort of rice wine vin. She sells them from a cart for $5. SOooo good.

A ham sandwich with cheese on whole wheat bread would be a great breakfast! Protein, fat, and carbs. I'd add a tomato and have a fruit with that, however.

Heard it on Monday. You should try to get one asap. I bought my first in my 20's when I was totally broke and just getting by. I saw an ad in the Target circular for a $169 sale on the Classic model. I got right in the car. It was so worth it. I ate pretty lean for a couple of weeks, but I was very happy. I have upgraded since. They are so worth sacrificing for.

Steelers: Six cakes shaped like Vince Lombardi trophies....and maybe some pierogies and hot sausage sandwiches.

This will be a good taco filling. I'm not going to make fry-bread either.

The kitchen is always the first place one goes if they want drugs. Myself, no. It tried once to wait on people after doing a few shots through the course of the evening. It was way too hard. Expect a lot of servers are hung over on Sat. and Sunday mornings, however.

By the way. Whether or not you can tolerate bitter flavors has everything to do with your genetics. I teach Biology and I use the pale ale example in my class (they are college students, so it's appropriate). I am what is genetically called a "non-taster". Therefore, bitter flavors are more tolerable to me, hence, I love a good, bitter beer. You may be a "taster" What is it that you are tasting or not tasting? Here is a link to a short, easy to understand article about the genetics of tasting.

I'll celebrate with their beer.

The Restaurant Depot sells them in a can. You get several dozen for around $6.00. They are just as good as anything I've had in a restaurant for a lot more money; I am sure the restaurants just buy them as well. Squeeze a little lemon juice on them and serve with a side of homemade hummus and people are impressed.

Chicken pot pie. I always have the ingredients for this already on hand. No shopping required.

Sautee chopped onion and garlic in a small amount of oil.
add diced potatoes and chicken stock
throw in some thyme, sage, rosemary, whatever herbs you like, dried or fresh
cook until potatoes are almost tender
thicken about 1/2 cup chicken stock with corn starch and add to hot pot
add shredded, cooked chicken
add frozen corn, peas, and/or lima beans
For crust, make drop biscuit dough with milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and melted butter.

Put chicken mixture in casserole dish
Dollop biscuit dough all over top of casserole and bake at 350 until biscuit is browned.

Make it on the grill. So good. The heat can't be too high or the bread will burn. You'll also have to babysit it. Have your toppings ready. Cook one side until browned, flip, quickly top, close lid. Parts of the crust may burn, but I think those parts taste good as well. This may take some practice, so don't get discouraged. The hardest part is getting the dough onto the grill in the disc shape you'd expect a pizza to have. A little mis-shapened crust tastes just as good, however.

Confused by this article, oncomouse? Do you mean before or after you read it? She explains that the read needs to assume that staples are on hand. It seems clear to me. Avoiding canned food is not elitist. Canned food is usually high in sodium, which should be reason enough not to use it more often than infrequently. Not only does my high blood pressure drive me away from cans, but the taste of canned veggies is a huge turn off. I keep frozen as a substitute when fresh is not available. Finally, I enjoy making soup. If you eat homemade soup enough times, canned soup starts to taste awful. There are some good things in cans: crab, tuna, low sodium chix stock, beans, tomatoes (crushed, sauce, etc.), and fruit that is not in heavy syrup (too much sugar).

Why are those who promote self-sustainability and fresh local food considered elite?????? Isn't that what everyone did before the advent of industrial farming and grocery stores? What is wrong with having a garden and chickens? If you lose your job, you still have food. How anyone could have anything negative to say about choosing the farmer's market over the grocery store is beyond my comprehension. The Obama's are setting a wonderful example.
