For me, it's the shape of Cap'n Crunch that makes it hard to eat. Does anyone remember Quisp cereal? It was delicious and the shapes didn't cut my gums. I'm not obsessing or anything; I just have fond memories of my stuffed Quisp doll. He's gone now, but was a real classic.

Here's my girlfriend The Barefoot Contessa's recipe. It's yumm-o, as Rachael Ray would say. Ingredients nocoupons * 6 to 7 pounds beef brisket * 2 tablespoons kosher salt * 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper * 1 tablespoon minced garlic (4 cloves) * 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves * 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks * 8 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch chunks * 6 yellow onions, peeled and sliced * 6 fresh or dried bay leaves * 1 (46-ounce) can tomato juice Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the brisket in a heavy roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. Rub the mixture on the brisket. Pile the carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves on the brisket and pour in enough tomato juice to come about 3/4 of the way up the meat and vegetables. Cover the top of the pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper, then with aluminum foil. (The tomato juice will react unpleasantly with the aluminum foil if they touch.) Bake for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm. Place the pan on 2 burners and boil the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. To serve, slice the meat across the grain. Serve with the vegetables.

Ahhh - that explains a lot. PB Cap't Crunch is round, so I never thought of the corners in the regular flavor. (slow light bulb coming on here! LOL)

Okay, started in on making the alfredo sauce to discover I had barely 1/2 cup of half 'n half. We only use skim milk so that would make for a very thin sauce. We "punted" - I had a small container of creme fraiche, so I used some butter, the cream, the creme fraiche, the milk, basil, salt, pepper, Spinach and some Siracha sauce. Added in Asiago cheese and Manchego cheese, and it wasn't too bad over the raviolis. A slightly different texture and taste, but still more than edible.

I've got some chicken breasts marinating in a sauce I found at allrecipes.com. It tastes and smells yummy. I'll probably make some rice and a tossed salad.

Homemade beer battered chicken breast strips. I seem to only come to this thread when I am excited about eating something fattening.

Venison steaks and rice (mix of brown and wild rices). I don't know who it was, but I think someone here pointed out to me that rice that takes 30 min. to cook is "parboiled" before I get it. Once I knew that, I've been getting the organic, longer cooking time rice and WOW - the taste difference is amazing! The rice tonight had no seasonings other than 1 chix. bouillon cube I'd added to the water, and it was so tasty no one cared it wasn't the "23 secret spices" of Uncle Ben's! Anyway ... THANK YOU to whomever pointed me in the right direction.

My brother took us all out for my mom's birthday to a Chinese restaurant nearby. We had lettuce wraps, spring rolls, wonton soup, chow mein, lemon chicken, general's chicken, honey pecan prawns, salt and pepper prawns, Mongolian beef, beef and broccoli. It was all so yummy!

Just put chili in the crockpot. [With hamburger AND beans. If I could duplicate the sauce in Mrs. Grimes Chili Beans, I'd do it "beanless" as I don't care for beans.] And I started some bread in the bread machine. [Being lazy today.]

It's leftover Sunday!! We have the remains of of a chicken/rice/mushroom dinner, grilled meatloaf/mashed potatoes and roast beef/vegetables meals to polish off. Colossus has already turned the roast beef into Philly beef sandwiches - extremely tasty!!

Serate, hug the beans. Love the beans. Be the beans. Beans are your friend, at least as far as chili is concerned. Real chili lovers eat beans in their chili.

Party meal tonight w/the family - appetizers of olives, veggies, cheese and crackers; dinner of 2 beer in the rear chickens, pierogie casserole, and salad; Dessert of double-layer chocolate cake (super moist- homemade) with that white frosting that is milk and flour cooked until thick and then butter and granulated sugar added in. We'll be skipping all meals tomorrow as a result!

Roast pork with a rub of smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and garlic pepper. Oven roasted fries and roasted asparagus with parmesan cheese. A little over-cooked since DH was late coming home from work, but still delicious.
