They started with the plan to show the entirety, but when the left started complaining, they said they would use it as a basis for a news story.

[Bonaparte]

Excellent! I just knew you had to be another jambalaya/gumbo guy! I also sometimes use okra and collards instead of the spinach.

Bouillabaise is my all-time favorite main dish. A hassle to make but always worth the effort!

[mystery-ak]

OMG...LOL that sounds exactly like our 3yo grandson....papa..where's pudding!.....sounds like our house after soccer practice each day in HS....but it was Tombstone pizzas and a case of coke....

We flew back from Midway, Chicago via San Diego to Sac this past Saturday.

It was dry in San Diego, on the trip to Sac, the pilot went out over the ocean got up to about 28,000' and we came north above the clouds that whacked you.

[SierraWasp]

"Another rainy night coming I think!"

Ernest at the Beach: We got exactly 1 inch here last night!

Grampa Dave: We be hooked on HoneyNut Cherrios, here at the hive!

Dysfunctional: Betty Croker can grease my skids with that instant frosting... anytime!!!

My son works for General Mills, Pillsbury frozen cookies, in marketing. Let's all try some of their frozen cookies!

I hear they are gonna come out with a low carb frozen cookie soon,

Thanks, General Mills. It is good to hear that my son is working for a decent company with a CEO who thinks!

"Excellent! I just knew you had to be another jambalaya/gumbo guy! I also sometimes use okra and collards instead of the spinach."

We love the jambalaya/gumbo seafood soups.


My Bouillabaise is a combo of the New Orleans jambalaya/gumbo with a West Coast Italian blend. It is some what of a hassle and a mess, but it is great.

We will pour most of the brooth off and save it for a mussels/clam thing with some browned carrots, sliced potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic.

The one thing that is hard to get out here is good crawdad tails, and we miss that in my soup things.

[RoseD]

Emailed a big thank you! Gonna go shopping!

[Grampa Dave]

Our grandson wakes up hungry and goes to bed hungry after eating throughout the day. At the age of two he could eat more pizza than his mother, my wife, and his older sister and still whine when his mother cut him off.

[areafiftyone]

LOL I just came home from work and went back on this thread! THAT'S IT - this thread is making me hungry! I gotta eat!

[Dysfunctional]

My lovely wife of over 30 yrs can tell you where that frosting has been in the before time, as young-uns (as it were...).

Of course, they were free samples.

Gotta' try out the product.

I can vouch for the creamy deluxe aspect.

[SierraWasp]

Well, my lovely wife of 42 years (I'm still married to my first wife!) can make them layer cakes from scratch!!! But she gets so busy with her hybrid Iris growin business that she prefers Betty Crocker for the time it saves.

You're makin my mouth water, talkin about that instant frostin, cause I gotta terrible sweet tooth, ya know...(grinnin through missing teeth)

[Dysfunctional]

You can make a BC layer cake taste like scratch cake by adding a pound cake to the mix.

Many a time I have just had a tub o' frosting, scooped with a finger (sometimes mix and match).

I should scale at 400 lbs.

[Temple Owl]

I just sent them a congratulatory note and a thank you. I promised to keep on eating Wheaties.

[Temple Owl]

Eat Wheaties. They are good for you.

[Bonaparte]

Ooh, crawdads are great, aren't they? I put them right up there with pheasant and eel! Let no man say the Good Lord doesn't provide!

[Bonaparte]

Back in the early 60s, Tone Brothers (Spice Islands), put out the best brownie mix ever under their "Dromedary" label. Nothing else even comes close, then or now. I checked their website and apparently, they no longer make it. But I e'd them about this and will ping you when I get their reply. I can't believe they would drop a killer product like that.

[occutegirl]

I immediately thought of the Hagen-Daz!

[The Citizen Soldier]

Letter sent. Thanks for the post (ooops, that can't be right).

Will be watching "Stolen Honor" when it airs in Sacramento, California on KOVR (10), October 23rd at 7:00 p.m.

Reply from Pepsi, w/original "thank you" e-mail below. Note they pigeonholed me as a left-wing kook without (apparently) reading the mail.

DRINK COKE!
