eat any food right now - what would it be?

I am dying for hot homemade tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches cut in triangles.
(for dipping, you know?)  It's chilly here.

For some reason, I am craving a HUGE bowl (we're talking an entire box sized bowl) of Fruity Pebbles.

Yes, I know I'm severely messed up, however we have all known that for quite some time.

I think I'll have some of those crab-stuffed mushrooms while I wait.

Then I'd like to start with a bowl of Carrot soup.

The rib-eye sounds good, with that herbed wild rice stuff on the side, and salad please.

Ceasar salad'll work.

(Please serve selected wines at your discretion. I don't know wine, and have no pretense 'bout saying so.)

But I would like a nice warm brandy, served along side the Banana's Foster for dessert.

Then coffee.

And oh?

If I can I smoke on the patio?, I'd prefer to move, (a bar seat is fine) and I'll have my coffee served there.

Meanwhile, back in reality:

Let me go dig those frozen fries outta the deep freezer.

see?  and I just had corn on the cob . . .

The lobster sounds amazing, I have not had asparagus in soo long, too expensive here.

God, I adore crabs (ok, THAT sounded mental)
on my plate, cooked, from the ocean LOL -
(look what you people do to me!)

and yes, cold, for once TG - we have broken heat records this year H-U-M-I-D - today is lovely.

Kari?  LOL - that and french fries and God, that sounds sooo good - I haven't had either of those in a very long time, since I was a line cook.

Ok Sharon, please tell me the children are there?  LOL - once someone made me a mud cake.  Have you ever had this?  It looks like dirt, it's oreo crumbs or something and has gummy worms all coming out of it, it was amazing, but looked gross, great for the kids, lemme see if I can find it:

http://www.alanskitchen.com/DESSERTS/dirt_cake.htm

I must say I have never had full cream milk.  What is that?  I LOVE cereal.

Kacy - that sounds perfect!  Last week, all I had was a bottle of Reisling and some watermelon, so I marinated them in that, it was so good.  Strawberries would be much better.

Brad:  I have never met a man who does not like fruity pebbles, not the chocolate ones, the fruity pebbles, and yes, awesome cereal . . . uh huh . . . I know what you've been doing

Flavored coffee, cappucino, italian soda, choco-mint frappucino or a big fat dripping down your arm waffle cone with five scoops of Perry's Piece of Cake ice cream?

Suzie, you are speaking with the little Gramma that does! I have made every possible ridiculous cake there is I think,including a dirt cake, LOL.  Here is the last one done up for Tori's birthday, so I don't mess around.       Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Now if you really want to know my favorite thing of all to eat, it is lamb done to perfection, with home-made mint sauce, oven roasted potatoes, mini carrots in ginger and orange sauce, and steamed soya beans in pods.   Oh, did I mention I would prefer to to be eating it at Posperos Taverna in Nicosia, Cyprus.  Sadly this city is now a reminder of what war and politics can do.

The wine: 1970 Muga Rioja Gran Reserva or Muga 1991 Prado Enea Rioja Gran Reserva(hate oak-flavored reds with good lamb.)

Desert: Mile-high Mudpie from Red Robin (eat your heart out you don't have it down there.)

By the way here is where I get all my cake concoctions from in case you feel creative one day for Billy.  Their cupcakes are always a hit with the kids too.

I never had tiramisu and clam chowder - Good Lord, my absolute favorite.

For Soulfisher -

Red Potatoe Salad

4-6 med new red potatoes, boiled with skins on
1/2 sweet Vidalia, chopped
6-8 green onions, chopped
3-4 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 can black olives, chopped
1 pound bacon, chopped, fried crisp, and drained

Mix all of the above with 3/4 to 1 cup Miracle Whip [or mayo of your choice]

Add, to taste, black pepper, [go easy on the] salt, garlic powder, cilantro.

Taste.

If you choose, now is the time to add Tobasco or Red Hot Sauce.  To taste.

I have found that this particular salad with these measurements spell "not enough" for four people who love potatoe salad. In a large pot-luck, people would tend to not dip so heavily...you might feed six.  LOL...

so double, and triple, as if it would feed three.

and chili sounds amazing right now, Hey, I am from Buffalo, the WEIRDEST weather you will ever see. By this afternoon it will beautiful out, right now I am freezing, reminds me of camping at Alleghany when I was little.

I think that if we would all ever get together, it would definitely have to be tailgating.  Ya gotta admit, BFLO KNOWS how to tailgate . . . at least we can do that well, LOL - BUT - it has to be a cold game, none of this sunny stuff . . .

ha - those are easy - wayy easy - just make sure you get some nice chunky wings first.

All it really takes, not even kidding
is Frank's Red Hot Sauce and butter.
(it has to be Frank's)

Melt the butter - add the sauce wha-la
Buffalo Wings.  Just add the sauce to your liking, the hotness and then swish the wings around in a container with a top - like tumble dry the suckers and there ya go . . .

Oh deep fry the wings first LOL.

And, Rooties Bleu Cheese is the best.  But if you make your own, just make sure it is full of chunky crumbles of bleu cheese instead of that mayo taste and texture.

Not Kidding. Good Stuff.  Get some Pepcid.

Since you guys insist on continuing this thread, and have absolutely no mercy on my rapidly expanding backside, I have just decided that I am going to MAKE dinner for Stottbear tonight, and not grab something on the way home as per usual...
Tonight (since it's going to be a bit late) I am going tom throw together Fettucini in a white wine and garlic sauce with sauteed broccoli and shrimp, and maybe a few sundried tomatoes added at the end to give it color.
Of course, with it, I am going to have a glass of merlot... and Stottbear is going to have her usual... milk.

And Midnightsun??? I fully plan on blaming Sue for starting this thread in the fist place... I heartily invite you to join me.

um, make that FOUR place settings.  I am on my way to eating a hamburger or something.

Kari?  in grease . . . like oil, you know?   Deep fry.  I dont know any other way.  Here, its the ole artery clogging method.  
What is red beer?  You mean like Killian's?

Right now, I want the Olive Garden.

Now, see... if I had gotten to this thread before we all ate, I would have put some in the oven to keep warm for when you got here... however, as I didn't, suppers over and the dishes are washed...

Maybe next time.

LOL, I just made some homemade veggie Thai stir fry, complete with peanuts and peanut sauce, and  I used good old ordinary egg noodles, cuz the other kind are still at the market and the price of gas is toooo high to make little side trips for the stuff I forgot to buy yesterday.
OK, Ringo, Susie is in soooo in trouble.

Eat any food right now?  Hrmm....tossup.

Option 1) Chili.  My chili.  Yeah, I cheat and use Wick Fowler's 2-Alarm Chili Kit (since it has everything in seperate bags instead of all-in-one) but the technique makes it mine.   12-15 pounds of meat (no hamburger), diced and slow cooked for about 8-12 hours with all the spices minus the red pepper.  If we add beans to the final mixture, I make those first, then substitute bean liquor for any water requirement.  It's mighty nice!  Don't last long though.  15 pounds and a couple of kits makes a few gallons of chili.  2 quarts get frozen for later and the rest is consumed within 2 days.

Option 2) 16 ounce steak, inch thick, medium rare and blackened (Cajun style), big baker with all the fixins, some dark yeasty bread, and a nice Shiner Bock.  If this is a dream scenario, then I'd have a very small dollop of Harold's World Famous Damn Hot Sauce, and it is.  Harold makes it himself at Harold's Pit Barbeque in Abilene, TX, and it is world famous.  There's a picture of one of his customers holding a jar in Paris, France, before the Eiffel Tower.   You only want very small portions of that sauce on your food.  Any more than a teaspoon (max) will make most dinner plates inedible.  It's some mighty potent stuff.  Not for the faint of heart or those afflicted with gastric reflux, hernias, ulcers, or heart conditions.
