I've had better. Seriously - I have a friend who lives in Tennessee and spends half the year in Nicaragua volunteering, and he makes (and sells) chocolate. Best damn chocolate I have ever had, hands down.

The friend's name is Sandy Hepler - he's on the right at about 0:45...he's a complete and total hippie.

so good , but kinda sad they don't make the raspberry ones anymore

I fell asleep with a Chocolate Orange slice in my hand the other night and let me tell you that's something where you wake up and at first you are delighted that your hands are covered in chocolate and then you realize the implications that has for your sheets and also your body

Johnny C · « **Reply #507 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 03:13 »

only excuse to put blue cheese on a burger is you don't give a fuck about the way the burger tastes and you just like slapping a bunch of overpowering shit on your meat. if you're puttin fuckin gorgonzola or whaever on your burger then you definitely aren't putting enough thought into the meat you're using cause you want to let that breathe rather than smother it.

(note: blue cheese is acceptable when rendered a sauce and applied in controlled volumes)

JD · « **Reply #508 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 03:53 »

The hp sauce and bleu cheese cancel each other out.

JD · « **Reply #509 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 03:59 »

I thought the "letting your meat breath" was supposed to be for steaks anyway.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #510 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 05:39 »

Pedantry about to commence:

I always get confused between 'breath' and 'breathe' because apparently you don't necessarily need the 'e' if you mean 'breathe' (or so I've been told, repeatedly), so reading that sentence led to a few moments of confusion. Hilarious confusion. Well, fairly amusing confusion.

Caleb · « **Reply #511 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 06:23 »

I made pizza last night with a little bacon, chicken, onions, green peppers and a lot of mushrooms. With ranch dressing instead of marinara sauce. I have leftover slices for lunch today.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #512 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 06:52 »

For lunch yesterday I ate 5 day old dominos pizza.

For some reason I was surprised when i felt sick today.

Christophe · « **Reply #513 on:** 30 Dec 2009, 18:22 »

I've been eating shitloads of Macaroni and Cheese with Christmas ham for the past few days. Like, one box per meal.

I lost like 20 pounds in the last four months but I probably gained back at least five. This cannot be good. Tomorrow (or Friday) I will make a concerted effort towards not having an awful diet.

You were told a lie by someone who just doesn't give a shit about the language.

Surprise: treat a burger as well as you'd treat a steak and it will treat you the same way.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #516 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 08:50 »

Who said shit about "smothering" or "overpowering". You basically just disproved yr own point with the sentence immediately following that. Also eat a dick John C blur cheese + smokey BBQ rocks a bitch.

Johnny C · « **Reply #517 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 09:47 »

I have never, ever seen straight up blue cheese put on a burger where it didn't become fairly overpowering. Maybe this was the first time it had been done! Maybe I was wrong.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #518 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 09:49 »

I think you'd better apologise man

Johnny C · « **Reply #519 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 10:23 »

First I'd like to know how I disproved myself by suggesting that you should be cutting the blue cheese with something (even blending it in with something as simple as mayo) in order to render it less pungent

David_Dovey · « **Reply #520 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 10:41 »

By showing one way it can be done in a non-overpowering way. I tend to put it on un-cut but I basically use a very soft cheese and spread it on as thin as humanly possible, like one might with avocado or some such.

Olives Rock!

Just had some tombstone garlic bread pizza, supreme, with ranch dressing on top.

Yeah, that eating healthy thing is going pretty well (actually if you only have two slices...)

FIXDIX · « **Reply #525 on:** 04 Jan 2010, 14:26 »

Just woke up not long ago wanting some cereal, only we barely had enough for half a bowl so I had half Nutrigrain and half a weetbix. It was actually pretty nice.

I just ate a pita bread with some chicken kebab. Great snack to go to sleep on.

I had an east-coast style donair earlier today. Man those things are weird but delicious. Wasn't sure if I ate it right or not but it was the only way I could see to get it in me!

Johnny C · « **Reply #528 on:** 04 Jan 2010, 23:53 »

Our features editor was haranguing me about the lack of donair sauce in Saskatchewan one day and trying to explain it but failing and then after he'd gone home I looked it up on Wikipedia and it turns out the sauce is just evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar, and garlic. Thanks for bothering me about your sweet garlic vinegar milk, Haligonian!

Slick · « **Reply #529 on:** 05 Jan 2010, 10:11 »

It is absurd! It is a just a bastardization of tzatziki sauce because donairs are a derivative of doner kabob/gyros. It is a pretty tasty dipping sauce, though. People like sweet things in the East. Donairs and Pepsi.
In other news, I don't know how I didn't notice Ontario doesn't have garlic fingers!

Barmymoo · « **Reply #530 on:** 05 Jan 2010, 10:55 »

I've been cooking for three hours and it was meant to be delicious roasted mushroom lasagne but I burnt the mushrooms and onions (which I spent over half an hour chopping) and now it is charcoal lasagne.

Edit: some epic improvisation later, it is now slightly-singed mushroom, fried onion, tomato sauce, cheese sauce and mushroom cup-a-soup (with croutons) lasagne. Only another hour to cook in the oven and I can taste it.

Caleb · « **Reply #531 on:** 05 Jan 2010, 11:52 »

I ate Kashi Cereal with water last night because I ran out of milk.

It was OK.

Eating some grilled eggplant, roast capsicum, olives, hoummos and fried halloumi with pide bread.

My housies tell me that you guys don't have halloumi in the states? You need to get Obama to fix this. Pan fried halloumi with a bit of lemon on it is the Best Thing. Plus it's fried cheese! Seems like something America would dig.

Inlander · « **Reply #535 on:** 05 Jan 2010, 16:37 »

Even better - it's fried super-salty cheese!

Ham & gouda antojitos.

Apparently my notion of anojito may be canuckocentric, so what I mean by this is a tortilla spread with cream cheese, then spread with salsa, then cheese is grated over top, then I put them ham on, rolled it up, toasted it, and sliced it into rounds.
Kind of like this.

Grilled ham and cheese with leftover chicken gravy on top. Boss.

Johnny C · « **Reply #541 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 17:26 »

I wish I had a camera just to take pictures of food with. Yesterday I carmelized a freshly-made blackberry BBQ sauce onto some ribs and served them with roast potatoes, this afternoon I've perfected my bacon & mushroom risotto (TIPS: Reserve the bacon grease to sauté the mushrooms first, and then reserve the subsequent liquids so that the bacon-y flavour lightly permeates the onion & garlic as well as the mushrooms. Then, when making the broth, make sure it's a little diluted so that you get the richness of flavour but not nearly as much of the salt. Finally, instead of something super salty for cheese, try something lighter and creamier, like mozzarella or the wheel of camembert that's sitting in my fridge. My first go at it was wayyyyyy too salty but these all helped), and tonight I'm going to bake a potato, blanche some carrots and then quickly toss them in herbed butter, and then grill up a steak and cover it in the leftover blackberry BBQ sauce.

next week is probably all kraft dinner

Yeah I have been eating pizza and macaroni cheese for the past two weeks but I probably should go shopping and get something better. Vegetables and such. I feel a bit crap.

To combat this i found a jar of peaches in mango juice in my cupboard, stuck it in the fridge, and now on this lovely hot day I am shoving forkfuls of dribbly, firm peach slices into my mouth and it is excellent.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #543 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 19:42 »

That's gross.

Slick · « **Reply #544 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 20:26 »

We used to play a game wherein you take a can of peach halves, allot them one per bowl, then have a race to see who can eat theirs first.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #545 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 21:30 »

Cold canned peaches are the best you guys.

Spluff · « **Reply #546 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 21:38 »

Canned peaches are pretty good. I like canned tangerines myself!

I have never encountered canned pears but I would not be opposed to such an occurrence.
