I've seen this game on a few other forums, and it basically turns into a general disucssion about the human diet.

I was inspired by thinking of all the other people out there who don't have to eat mustard on bread... which I just finished eat. Urgh.

I love food topics!!! Especially if recipes are involved.
My boy friend and I just found a pasta maker the other day in a second hand store. ($5.00) Every part is there including all 11 Dies that came with it plus 6 more add ons. (Dies are what shape the pasta) It mixes the dough then extrudes it through the Die you choose. I have Spaghetti, Linguine, Tagliatelle, Vermicelli, Lasagna, Dies and more. It even has a die for making bread sticks and pretzeles. I am in heaven.

Anyway I made home made Fettuccine with a wonderfull home made tomatoe and meat sauce, and garlic bread tonight. mmmmmm

Hubby made some spaghetti w/meat sauce and garlic toast, tossed salad.

I just had a home-made taco salad. Good stuff.

i made fried rice .. almost every night

Me and my man just had a simple dinner last night, steak, chips, eggs, mushrooms, and baked beans with toast... im too sick to cook anything complicated lol

I love fried rice. Specially with pork or shrimp.

hey mustard sandwiches !!!! that and miracle whip sandwiches were staples in my house growing up. 4 kids , single mother = broke usually.

now want something really good ? if you have some cheese. put that on that mustard sandwich with a thinly sliced pickle !!!!!!!!

haven't had that in years !

a snack ? just had 2 sugar free Popcycle brand popcycles - my fave !

I've been munching leftover cold potato wedges with parmesan and garlic on them.

And drinking a cup of Earl Grey.

Tonight just ate a personal pizza 4 cheese....very good and now it's so early for me, but after eating that just trying not to fall asleep.

Teriyaki with rice and a bit of hot sauce.

Well right now i'm eating a nectarine but last night I had a stir-fry. SO good, carrots, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, baby corns, onions, and brocoli. No meat though, it sucks because my sisters are both vegetarians so we have meat like 1 a week.

Im spossed to be cleansing the system atm, But we had Pizza last Night, home made with all the healthy stuff. lol
Tonite we loved our Chinese, tomorrow wez havein the best darn viddels, na jokes..... Roast Lamb tomoz. Olive oil, garlic, lamb spices. sweet potato this time the kids love it.

Tonight was Sherpherds pie. not my best effort tonight the baby was screaming at me, with lots of bread and butter, well margarine, lol.

I have bread with everything these days, absolutely crave it with Baked Beans, man I love baked beans. I've been eating nearly a whole loaf a day for the last couple of weeks, I think that's why I'm stacking on the weight, doesn't help it's bloody winter here and its too damn cold to be motivated

Right now? Roasted and salted soynuts, flaxseeds, some cherries and blueberries. Odd combo but they all go together quite nicely.

Hmm...just a late night (after work) snack of jerky...Smoked Elk to be exact.Good stuff.

What am I eating? Not what I'd like to be...





...which would be pizza with hand tossed Appian crust, topped with home made sauce, fresh sliced pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, black olives, and mozzarella and provolone cheese.

Damn my diabetes!

Chocolate Pocky and a glass of soy milk.

I wasn't that hungry, because I had a Burger King sweet chilli chicken baguette for dinner, so I had a kind of old fashion spread for tea. I went down to Asda and couldn't decide on what to have, so had a collection. Smoked Frankfurt and garlic Frankfurt, with brie, smoked applewood, Boursin with garlic and strong mature cheddar cheese, with crackers and cheese topped baguette, along with Chinese chicken wings. All helped down with a nice cup of tea!

I grew up in a home without much money also. (I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers. I am the middle child, 7 of us!!!!) I ate tons of miracle whip sandwiches, one of my brothers prefered ketchup sandwiches.



What is chocolate pocky?

MILK!!!! The Nectar of the Gods. I love milk. 2% I swear I could live of it.



What is boursin?

MMM!! I love those, hot or cold.

I had left over sloppy joe's. I had a really good make on them.
brown a lb of ground beef and half an onion.
1/2 tp of cayenne pepper or to taste
1/2 cup Ketchup
1 Tp of spicy brown mustard
1/4 cup of brown suger
1/3 cup of water
Tp of flour
Simmer until thicken. Then put on toasted roles.

chomping on some things called Goldfish...little cheddar cracker thingies

err sloppy joes....pound of beef browned as above, small can of tomato past, some water, package of Durkee sloppy joe mix.....

right now I'm having chicken breast with rice cooked in cream of mushroom soup, yum.

Using a mix is cheating.

Im lazy!

Pocky

Gee those look good, I have never seen those in the States.

beef fajitas and margaritas

Really?...I thought it was becoming more common... I usually find them in the 'international' aisle of the grocery store...and they're probably available online...

I don't even know what most of these snacks are, but they sound GREAT!

You exotic Americans and your Elk Jerky (what an earth is that), goldfish, pockies - I'm well jealous.

A really strong cheese, great on crackers!

Jerky is strips or small chunks of meat that have been trimmed of fat,marinated,then slow dried over low heat (with or without smoke).

When I can find them,I'll usually get jerky that has been made from any of these...venison (deer),buffalo,elk...or regular beef.

I envy your Chuck-E-Cheese.

Omlete (egg, onion, lil pepper, spicies/flavour) on whole wheat bagel (toasted on stove top) with mayo and kedgeup.

Bagels, oh the atrocities I would commit for bagels....

i just had lunch, i had a nice plate of pasta with aubergines, garlic and tomato sauce, sprinkled with some Parmesan grated cheese and tiny strips of brie cheese

now im having 2 peaches as desert.

AAH ok, I have seen and tasted these but they had a different name. (They also have vanilla and mocha flavors.) I cant think of it right now though.



I LOVE Fajitas!!!!! Beef, pork, or chicken, with bell peppers and purple onions. My ex makes them with a citrus sauce, pineapple, orange, guava, or what ever or a combo of 2. I love that we are friends still since we get together with the kids for dinner, and some times he cooks these.

Some body explained the Jerky and the pockies. So, Goldfish are little Goldfish shapped crackers. Different flavors, cheeder cheese, pizza, nacho. I think there are more. I have only had the chedder myself.

Thanks for that. The chedder ones sound nice, like mini cheddars??

Hi Reg..like mini cheddars, kids and adults both love them...They even come in multi colored , and pretzel flavored..

Yeah goldfish are a great snack. I love the pretzel ones they are so good.
Right now I 'm eating a toaster strudel, oh so good.

I'm just finishing some 9 grain toast and a cup of chicken noodle soup for lunch, takes the chill out of winter.

Can somebody please explain to me what Chuck-E-Cheese is? (not sure if I spelt it right!...or even if it exists....)

Your welcome, and yes.



Yep.



It is a family style pizza/arcade place. Here are a couple links. http://www.chuckecheese.com/company-info/employment.php, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_E._Cheese's

I remembered this thread and saw them at the Target store today... They are bloody good! I got the chocolate pocky ones to.
