The "I'm Thinking of Making" Thread

[Jenne]

Man. I used to lightly melt my Hershey bars and dip them in Tang. And mix it with the Kool-Aid. And eat Tang sandwiches with butter or Miracle Whip mixed into the Tang to make a Tang spread. I wonder how it would work with Nutella.

Um, Card?  You sure you weren't high?    That sounds like when you're grubbing through your pantry and trying to eat anything and everything, and you end up cleaning out shit that you would normally think was too old or too gross.  Like 4 year old Easter candy and pre-popped popcorn that's like 8 months old.

Me & Mr. Language used to put Tang in beer. We came up with this when we were stranded in Bishop, CA.

Going to have to try that

It's best in Hamms. We call this a "Ham-Tang".

Now this I *have* heard of.

Whoa, really?? I am floored... it seemed so ridiculous/disgusting that we were sure we'd invented it!  (It's actually kind of refreshing and pleasant... better than plain Hamms)

Have you ever had a Hamosa? Orange juice and Hamms? That's where we got the idea.

Never been high. I've never actually touched drugs, except to pass the bowl along. Although a few times, as a kid, dinner was wild herbs that grew in our yard. And chasing it with a bit of the cows' salt lick. Oh, and moldy pizza. Only I didn't realize the green stuff wasn't lettuce on a taco pizza until it was too late. Didn't make me sick, though.

YES!  That's it!  And I think I heard that one from you--and then my crazy cousin told me she's heard of all sorts of shit done to beer--Tang, KoolAid, etc.

I sorta made this face:

Uhuh.  Sounds like you and Squid are cut from the same cloth, then.  She's always trying out crazy food combos like that, just about stone cold sober, as well...

I'm no longer allowed to play "I wonder if this is still good," mainly because I cook for two people now.

THIS!!

Pretty much since the kids were old enough to open the fridge, I've been really anal about marking leftovers with the date.  3-5 days and it hits the trash depending on what it is and no matter if it looks/smells ok.

Yeah. The girlfriend was horrified by my "It's in the fridge, it must be edible." attitude that her neat-freak OCD tendencies exploded. She now goes through the fridge with a fine-toothed comb every week and tosses anything that is vaguely questionable. O.o

However, she threw out some day-old pizza, once, and I made her replace it. Pizza is sacred.

Started a huge pot of split pea soup.

Is coming along perfect. Will be good as hell by dinner tomorrow night.

Oooh, nice.

Homemade split pea soup is awesome.

I'm thinking about putting cream cheese on crackers.

I'm not very ambitious these days.

I'm trying to think of the perfect recipie that would make that vein ECH's temple explode.

Surely it would involve pounding out pork cutlets, obscuring a delicate ingredient, and of course, putting oil in my pasta water.

That sounds like a weapon for my next attack.
