@Jim - But why should a person be judged for not trying something when they have had experiences in the past and decided they didn't enjoy a particular food? I detest green olives...I'm never going to order a dish that has green olives in it on the off chance I might mysteriously develop a love for them.

Thanks for the heads up!

To me a snack is one flavor that only takes a few bites to eat. Something like fruit, slices of cheese, crackers, or a hard boiled egg.

Starbucks has become a caricature of itself, or worse, a slicker looking version of McDonalds.

I love Rick Bayless too, but I haven't seen his show on PBS for awhile. Is his show still on?

I enjoy watching Ina Garten, Jamie Oliver, America's Test Kitchen, Everyday Food, and Everyday Baking.

This doesn't mean I actually use their recipes, rarely in fact, but I love watching them on the weekends.

@Jim Glover - For myself, I want to see a beautiful picture of something so that it inspires me to make it at home.

Serious Eats - Thanks for a new addicting past time!

How does a person eat a whole jar of PB in two days? I adore the stuff, but that sounds disgusting! Hopefully it is just an exaggeration...

Ed - You would be suprised by how much you can cut back on that PB per sandwich without noticing any difference. My regular lunch is a PB and sugar free jelly sandwich on double fiber bread. For a long time I put on the standard 2 tbps and then I thought I would just try it at a little over 1 tbsp, turns out I didn't even notice that the extra PB was missing.

Here is the PB is use - Naturally More, it is loaded with flax seeds and honey so it has a slightly different flavor than standard PB. But I love the stuff, can't go more than a couple days without having a sandwich!

Because I use Orowheat double fiber bread (160 cal), sugar free strawberry jelly (20 cal), and Naturally More (120 cal) my lunch only runs about 300 calories and it fills me up for the rest of the day.

@Gourmet Guy & Lattelatte - Thanks for the recipes, they both look really good. I think I'll try Gourmet Guy's b/c I used all my yogurt last night making my first attempt at curry.

Who else was shocked when Kelsey had first pick and went for the tilapia, aka "Poop Eater" at your local waste water plant!?

I screamed at the TV when they panned to the other fish on the table - rainbow trout, sole, salmon, and halibut.

Is the tote really good quality? I'm betting that is where the extra money is coming from. Why don't you call their customer service and ask, they would have to give you some sort of answer.
