You are cracking me up! Oh let me tell you I have a million stories. I'm gonna be telling them for a while.

Ok Godiva is the sacred temple of chocolate. So..find a store and register for the Godiva Club. Each time you go to a store, they give club members a piece of chocolate and you get special offers via email.

this thread will leave you craving food lol

Leftover chicken in my house gets doused with Tabasco and winds up in a taco or on top of rice and beans. I got it like that. Every protein starts to look like Taco filling to me. lol

And YES this thread will make you hungry. We need a warning label.

I am hearing from the thread readers who are not posting. On that note..post something folks! Just drop in and say hi.

Trader Joe's just opened in my vicinity about 3 weeks ago, I haven't been yet, but I am looking forward to it. My girl and I have regular skype dinner dates and I have been dreaming up this dish with small chicken meatballs filled with flavor and simmered in broth, with some pasta....Italian wedding soup but NOT. Don't know what it will turn out to be, but I'm looking forward to it.

flour tortillas are a staple in my house lol

I know Corkey said he has a food and wine thread, but all this talk of port reminded me of http://www.wilsoncreekwinery.com/. My ex and I used to go up there every so often. They have a divine chocolate port that they serve in a cold chocolate shot glass. Can you say - things that make you hmmmmmmmm?



And on a non-alcoholic slant, after a conversation with Sun, I wonder if we should start another food thread, but something like "cooking for one". Specifically for one, not couples.

Here too.
Do you make your own?
I have a small tortilla press but want to get a larger one because I like to use tortillas to build pizza type meals on

This thread isn't just making me hungry, it's making me want to eat chicken. I haven't done that in a couple of years. But with y'all running around making it sound so good...

Hey Mtn,

Go check it out! Give yourself plenty of time because the stores are compact and you are going to likely want to look through the items carefully. There is a lot that they pack into a small store. They do more volume than Whole Foods with much less space. Plus the prices are great so they move volume.

Your soup sounds like it is on its way to Italian Wedding Soup! LOL you can call it the Italian Rehearsal dinner soup.

Uh oh. Side effect of the thread.

I use a lot of Chicken substitutes for vegetarian dishes. Perhaps we should all be more inclusive and remember to include substitutes in our posts.

Or, I am going to have the vegetarian mafia come hunt me down for converting peaceful happy vegetarians into meat eaters!

Everything is good in a tortilla...even fish (wink). I've had eggplant in it too!

[easygoingfemme]

Yeah well, slow cooked chicken in a crock pot is... slow cooked chicken in a crock pot

Personally I tweak/adapt recipes all the time and don't mind the non-veg recipes at all. If they interest me, I'll tweak them- or come over to the dark side for a meal or two

Agreed!

Fish Tacos are high on my list of favorite foods.

I am so hungry and no chance that I am going to cook.

So I need to stay out of this thread. lol

We have cookies.

All is well on the dark side.

Perfect plan since we are engaged, though neither of us is Italian,lol. I have been to other TJ's just excited we have one in the neighborhood now. It was a HUGE fight to get it here at all. Three years of negotiations I think. As for our soup I want the meatballs to be crazy full of flavor and tiny, bite size. Made with ground chicken, I love the texture when cooked and a blank canvas for flavor. I think they could be made with soft tofu as well. When I used to work in the school system my school had many children that were vegetarian, (well until it was hotdog roll up days) but I made tofu meatballs for our pasta bar days.

I've said for years that I'll eat just about anything if it's wrapped in a tortilla. Something about those tortillas... dreamy eyes over here.

Great! We have recently gotten a TJ'S here as well. I have yet to go, I have missed it from California. But I think I need to go, just to get that spice, the sausage, the green beans...could some one make me a list of that was mentioned here..lol

With Thanksgiving on the way, I am wondering what you all have planned. What kinds of dishes are favorites for you?

This is when I insert, poor me, I work in retail. So long gone are dinners I make, unless I do it a week ahead. And all I want is the turkey sandwich afterwards with cranberries on it . For shame, there is a fishing/ coast trip every thanks giving and I don't get to go..so my friends feel sorry and we meet up at a restaurant. Ok, I will go to Mimi's ..lol.
