Boomer,
I was a Miracle Whip woman til I married my husband.
He's a Hellmans or die kinda man too.
Tho I could swing either way, Hellmans is all that's in our kitchen anymore.
When we go out to eat, he even has to ask if they use Hellmans.
If not, he orders with no mayo.

Glad you like the garlic bread,,, I think. :dontknow:

Your posts always crack me up!!! And I totally GET them...

Aw Gracie, Gracie, Gracie... It's not THAT hot, is it? : Maybe you tried the original? Maybe that's why they make a mild version?
I went through life whining, "Is it very spicy?" Never like spicy foods at all.
Then I went through menopause.... I don't know if I should blame menopause or if I've developed a mature (old, tasteless) palate. Or maybe it's living in the wild west where everything has red peppers or chilies in it? Foods started tasted kind of bland to me, so I started spicing them up a little. Now I keep a big jar of ground red pepper handy and use it on almost anything you would use black pepper on. It makes everything zippy! Yum! :hot:

Back on topic... If we do all get together for a pitch in/potluck you should be warned that the red sprinkled on top of my deviled eggs (made with Hellman's) isn't paprika!

OK

Here I am, right now, even as we speak, in the test kitchen. I am facing a 55-gallon drum of the controversial Tuscan soup that helped Valerie get over Eddie.

And I just ladled out a batch and I added red beans. I will let you know.

And that :edit: leftover French bread, the part I did not slather and bake last night, is calling from the counter. That half-baked baguette is starting to get Mr. Boomer's attention now, "Slather me. Slather me. Bake me. Bake me." If I could get up from in front of this computer, I would throw that thing right into the garbage can. Yeah. That's it. That's what I would do.

Boomer

Oh, and I want to say that I am so pleased that the launch of my new career as a typing teacher has been such a success.

uuJUDY,

Finally, after years of begging the supermarkets in NY for Rotel, Costco started selling the small cans by the case. YIPPEEe! Does anyone know if this can be bought in TV? I know that the Walmarts in Pennsylvania sell the Rotel brand and their own knock-off version.

[Rokinronda]

Rotel?? :dontknow: what is Rotel??

[Shirleevee]

Ronda,

It is a mix of diced tomatoes and jalapenos........Sailor loves spicey and I can't touch hot peppers so this is great for us.

Shirlevee, I see by their website ( http://www.texmex.net/Rotel/main.htm ) that Rotel is now owned by ConAgra, so it should be available just about everywhere? They also have a list of recipes at the website (scroll down). I had no idea! I used Rotel instead of canned tomatoes when I wanted to spice things up a bit, but I had no idea there were real recipes! Recipes! Yay! It says here that they also have an Italian style. I'll have to give that a try -- if I can find it at the grocery store. Maybe the Italian style would work in Tuscan soup?

Shhhh. Off topic: Boomer, how did the soup turn out with the beans?

The beans improved the soup. I think it was more from a feel like you are eating something that might stick with you awhile point of view. But I am going to look for these Rotel Italian style. And those really hot ones, too. Mr. Boomer would like those. I have enough of this soup to experiment in batches. (I put in the entire eggplant and extra of the other stuff, too. Chopping can be too much fun.)

Oh, and uuj, not to worry about off topic. My goodness, I am the one who put this soup right in the middle of a thread that is talking about wonderful food with actual flavor. Do you think I need to repeat that warning about not taking this stuff to a pitch-in? I sure don't want to ruin anybody's 4th of July.

And besides, I am the queen of never worrying about off topic.

And that reminds me. Nonie, that Braunschweiger for dog pills tip is pure genius. No dog could resist Braunschweiger.

Off topic? Who cares? We are all just pitching in.

Oh Boomer. I have been up all night trying to get my curser between the lines and changing the numbers (the last number I tried was 109) and I still can't get the :edit: font thingy to change. I want to shout and whisper too. I am going to bed. :edit: it.

[Boomer]

Oh gg,

Just try to dream in something normal, like 10 pt., maybe 12 if you don't sleep in your reading glasses.

And do not worry. It took me forever to figure that one out. (And have you ever clicked on that little underlined 'more' up there? That's another whole new world.)

OH NO!! This place just needs to send somebody to my house to hit me over the head. I think I just gave you homework, gg.
