@mleca me too! When I was growing up "french toast" for us was a slice of toast with cinnamon, sugar and butter thrown into the broiler until the sugar was crispy and that was the "french toast" I stayed at a friends house in High school, his mother made "french toast" for breakfast and I was like....uh what's that! that ain't the french toast I know! lol

To answer many questions all at once, yes pre-made ricotta stuffed ravioli is usually gross. But I got it from the local South-Philly former Mafia grandma at the market. The recipe I used had carrots in it here's the link to the recipe
recipe for tomato sauce

It was "Spagetti Sauce" 365 brand from whole foods. Um...I'm not sure what other questions were asked. Too much pressure! lol

@wickedgooddinner I freeze the olive brine/juice...

I make frozen olive brine ice cubes with a tooth pick in the middle. I put them in my martinis to keep them frosty. This way, as the juice melts my drink just gets so Dirty! and I love it!

Does that count?

um....no. LOL @chew on that "The meat is cooked to perfection" I was thinking the same thing. With all the terrifying elements of this "sandwich" there's no bacon. what's that all about?

I will not lie I sneak food every chance I get. But sometimes I get the urge for salty goodness in the theatre ergo nachos with extra yellow cheese substitue. I have since learned that it's caloric value is somewhere along the number. 1500! Thank god I'm skinny I got room to eat that crap LOL

@renzata lol I was just thinking the same thing! I agree with engmcmuffin. Many of us don't mind helping out. But, what are you're own thoughts. I mean I personally can't contribute without knowing what you've already thought of.

Best Tapas in Philly are from Valanni. I just went the other day, they had some special for like a 4-course dinner and 4 different types of sangria for like $50! Needless to say I was drunk by the end of dinner, but dammit I had a good time. ...come to think of it, I don't really remember dinner that much...lol

What a deliciously decadent meal. Nothing beats roasted asparagus with poached eggs!

I just want to put this out there. Ever since I learned that sun chips bags are the only bio degradeble bags, I have been telling all my friends and I've only eaten sun chips.

I admit it! I am a slave to great marketing! No big deal. I mean aren't we all. Look at how much attention this post has gotten...right? Zinger!

Yea, any excuse to pull out a bottle of wine works for me. Normally I use the excuse that there's wine in the house so it must be consumed.

Anyway, certain things take a long time for a reason. Like...wine for example, why rush it? LOL I sound like a drunk.

@squeeze - I was just thinking the same thing. I was like...hmmm Should I post a response to this or am I playing into the hands of some very clever advertisers? Once I saw your post, I was relieved to see that I was not the only one who recognized their insidious plot! DAMN YOU SUN CHIPS! Damn you and your pursuit of an interactive forum with food/earth conscious people!
