Food Cravings

I live in Utah, it still gets pretty hot in the Summer (mid 90s). However, in many cases, it's nice being outside rather being trapped in a stuffy, hot house which gets hotter when you cook. With central air, you may have a different perspective.

You speak like someone in the South. I agree *sweating just thinking about summer grilling*.

Yep, Texas.

Barbecue? We just had a grilling the other night! I did a 14lb turkey in the oven while doing a package of Eddy sausage, 3 porterhouses, 4 strip steaks and a 2.4lb pork loin on the grill.

I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE!

When my wife was in high school, a friend of hers decided to make pumpkin pie for Halloween. Now, she'd never made it before, and didn't look up a recipe ("how hard can it be?")

She gutted a pumpkin (as though she were making a jack-o-lantern), sliced up the "outer shell" (including the skin), put it in a pie crust, and baked it. Needless to say, it was (a) inedible, and (b) a gaffe that they still tease her about, 30 years later.

A college buddy was dating a girl he had been wooing for months before she finally succumbed to his charms.

She finally decided that, despite her meager cooking skills, she'd make him a home cooked meal for an evening in. Because he was on the varsity baseball team, she decided it had to be healthy. She had heard that peanut oil was healthier for cooking than butter or similar fats...therin began his torture.

See...she reasoned that since butter melted into an "oil" of sorts, that peanut butter, when heated, melted to produce peanut oil.

The green peas she tried to cook via this method wound up forming a substance that resembled pralines with green blisters in them...with a texture like peanut brittle with squishy blisters.

He slowly ate his portion- quickly, to hasten the end of his torture.

She thought that he ate them quickly because he liked them, and gave him her share and the remains in the pot!

Oh god. That's hilarious.

Mmm, ribs! Barbecue season soon!

In Hawaii, barbecue is all-season. Well, except on rainy days but you can always get one of those foldup tarp roof/gazebo/whatever.

In college I met someone whom thought you boiled the potato skin and all for mashed tators. She didn't appreciate of teasing as we had to rescue the meal.

For cravings- I love my Pepporoni & onion pizza with cold beer. I also enjoy my B-King special- bacon cheese burger with fries and onion rings washed down with Dr. Pepper.


A breakfast craving I used to have in college I called the heartdoctor's special- Onion bagel (buttered) with 1/2 in thick creese cheese, eggs and either bacon or sausage. Tasty but the arties would come to stand still for a while with that one.

Never did liked Dr. Pepper. Sgt. Pepper OTOH...

Dr. Pepper was the the drink of choice for my friends. I live with five people and they all drank it. The only thing worse was my old workplace that would only stock Pepsi and Diet Pepsi.
