^ that would actually be more fitting for my body type

Those are so good.

I eat peanut butter on tortillas for lunch every day. It's very good.

That would be good with some hot mango chutney

Next time Cheesecake Factory has a design a ridiculously over priced burger contest, I'm thinking maybe a peppercorn crusted burger with hot mango chutney might be a good start, with maybe a sauce like pickapeppa? Or just go with straight slices of mango with pickappepa?

If it were Ruby Tuesday, you could not win if you did not have mayo and cheese on it.

I read a story recently (last year or so) as to how the cheese industry has been behind the dramatic increase in cheese added to foods over the last few years. Like, for example, that pizza with cheese trapped inside the crust around the rim.

Don't get me wrong, I love cheese - the real stuff, that is. Goat cheeses of all kinds, European varietals, many with incredible flavors. But the bland, insipid stuff they slather on pizzas or bury tortilla chips in is ridiculous. If somebody suggests getting "extra cheese" on a pizza one more time, I'm going to have to be physically restrained from jumping across the table and knocking him on his ass. Literally, physically restrained.

Pepe's has mozzarella as an additional topping. The basic comes with grated romano and no mozzarella. That's old school.

I think tonight might be a good night for raclette.

Question for the peanut gallery, new baby red or white potatoes?

The rest is easy, baby gerkins, pickled pearl onions, and maybe some bacon or spicy italian sausage.

blue911 · « **Reply #762:** April 12, 2011, 03:02:42 PM »

red with proscuitto or carpaccio works for me.

Sounds good. I think we have a weiner!

Nathan · « **Reply #764:** April 26, 2011, 08:22:46 PM »

I need suggestions. What can I buy that is:

1. Cheap
2. Tastes good
3. Easy to make
4. Easy to take to work for lunches

I gotta stop buying this junk out of the sammich machine at work.

Rotisserie chickens in a Ronco rotisserie. I'd sell you mine for $10, actually. It has a basket for making fish and veggies, too.

Nathan · « **Reply #766:** April 26, 2011, 08:26:37 PM »

I don't think rotisserie chicken is really something I can eat at work. Though I do love it.

Bring a couple legs or pull the white meat

The chickens are like 3 bucks and last several meals.

was for wanting to sell yours for $10.

Oh, it's worth like $200 but I'm the only meat eater in the house so it just sits there. I almost donated it to the Vietnam Vets for their last collection. The $10 would be for the effort of getting to you in BFE.

Well hell, if that's hand delivered then hell yeah

get yourself some everything bagel flats or some other kind of bread you would like and some good low salt/no nitrates/no antibiotic (Like Applegate Farms) lunch meat, make your own sammies at home with some good olive oil mayo/mustard and pickle slices, lettuce or whatever floats your boat. Add a slice of slice or provolone. You can buy ten bucks of fresh stuff per week or so, and condiments for about the same and eat for a good long time. Throw in a can of soup with the sammie or salad from time to time and you'll eat better and save money. Don't eat crap from a machine. If you have to cap it off with a rice crispy treat target brand.

Nathan · « **Reply #773:** April 26, 2011, 09:30:25 PM »

I've tried making subs/sandwiches before, but I swear that crap doesn't taste as good as if I buy it

Same way with a salad.

it's lettuce, why doesn't it taste the same!

Okay, let's do some food analysis here. What is it you find appealing about something from a vending machine? Salt? Fat? Grease? it's got to be one of the three trinity....
