Most Commented Food Blogs (316)

When you order food at a restaurant, they bring a plate and unless it's an all you can eat, that plate of food 'is' your meal. Eat the food and you're done.
Dinner at my house usually has selections with enough food for 3 meals.
I'm taking issue with that... because... I have the ability to eat and eat and eat with no restraint.
For this holiday season, I'm asking not to be on a 'see food' diet.
Take the surplus food away and I'll only eat what's on my plate, nothing more.

For me it's peanuts. I like them but they don't like me.
I don't recall any peanut allergy as a kid, but in the last 20 years or so, I break out in hives after eating something made with peanut oil or has peanuts in the ingredients.

We have a manufacturer's rep who visits us weekly and he often brings 2 dozen gourmet doughnuts from a local bakery. This art work more than food but most of them have peanut butter icing.

Some of the Asian all-you-can-eat buffets cook with peanut oil and I'll know a day later what the food was cooked in when I have bumps on my skin.

I would love to have a job torture testing products to see if they are safe for consumers or if the manufacturer's claims are correct.
Some people on YouTube post videos of their own product testing...
Some go to extremes!

I was looking for something to snack on this afternoon and found a bag of oranges in the refrigerator. My protocol is to thin cut the peel leaving much of the white pulp. It's called pulp... right?
In doing this, I had a childhood flashback. Amazing!
My family moved to Florida when I was around the age of 7 and there were lots of kids in the neighborhood. Along the back yard was a utility easement wide enough for a pickup truck to collect garbage. The kids were allowed to play there instead of the street.
I recall going with the neighborhood kids to see an old woman who resided on the end of the block.
Her name was Mrs. Gurnett. I'm unsure if she worked or was retired, but I got the feeling she was a nurse or social worker. After school, several of us would go to her back door and call her name. Kinda slowly... Mrs. Gur-nett... and wait a few seconds before repeating the call. Mrs Gur-nett...

Just like magic, Mrs. Gurnett would appear with a plate of goodies for us to eat. It could have been sliced apples, chocolate or thin slices of orange covered with sugar.
Yes, the sugar orange slices were my favorite.

Over the years, I've had a few Deja Vu thoughts when I passed by the confection aisle in the grocery store. While I've been avoiding candy with sugar... if I had to choose it would be a cherry or orange Gummy Bears if I couldn't find the sugared orange slices.

I don't remember the reason we stopped going to see Mrs. Gurnett. Possibly an adult was 'letting us off easy' by fabricating a story that she moved. The house was vacant for a few years and knowing what I know now, she must have passed away and didn't have family to inherit the property.



Mrs. Gurnett... thanks for the memories!

My dad loved to cook. He also loved to watch TV while cooking. Unfortunately, the TV was in the living room and couldn't be viewed from the kitchen.
He would run back and forth trying to do both.
Let's say there was a chase scene on a Western that caught his attention... there would be a good chance the spaghetti would boil over or the broiled steaks would be crispy!

My first wife appropriately nicknamed him Burnie.

With the exception of fish skin and chicken feet, I eat all the Chinese dishes put in front of me. I do have my limits. I'll tolerate bitter melon if it's cooked with something else. Chinese vegetables are fine, including bok choy and some decedents of spinach and broccoli.
Unless tofu gets diced and cooked with meat, it's on my 'do not eat' list.

I didn't complain (too much) at dinner tonight as tofu was in a sauteed vegetable salad and repeated a line from the movie The Three Faces Of EVE... Mommy, don't make me kiss a dead person!
