Cheesecake, carrot cake and gooseberry pie.

none2 1 year, 12 months ago

I don't think I have ever had gooseberry pie. However, my list is somewhat like yours;

ultimates: cheesecake, carrot cake (the frosting must be really cheesy and not that sweet), & strawberry rhubarb pie.

Oh and I LOVE chocolate malts (not shakes) like they make at Perkins.

However, I won't turn down sweet rolls with butter, chocolate with chocolate chip ice cream, and a host of other desserts.

Pecan pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

fleeba 1 year, 12 months ago

mmmm.. Carrot cake. I'm not a huge sweet fan, but hubby did ask for chocolate dipped strawberries instead of a birthday cake this year - so I was more than happy oblige.

The Rapture has been rescheduled for October 21. May 21 was just a "spiritual" Judgment Day.

95 Reeces mini cups, duh.

wmathews 1 year, 12 months ago

This is unconfirmed, but I've heard mustard and charcoal grills will give you leprosy.

DOUGLAS COUNTY PIE

Backoff Whitney... Bob is correct, charcoal and mustard, nectar of the gods. And don't sent some facebook poll to dispute this. However, anyone who eats Reeces peanut butter cups, is OK to me. Grilling brats with a cold beer, watching tornados, then finish off with Reeces, sounds like a good day.

Actually, according to Hank and Karl, hot dogs MUST be eaten on a bun with no condiments. If you eat your dog with condiments Hank will kick the snot out of you. http://www.jhuger.com/kisshankbutt.php

Some how my mother ended up with my dad's shot glasses. I thought they were for dipping things. So I ate weenies by dunking them in a shot glass full of ketchup.

I really don't care to eat hot dogs anymore, but if I just had to eat one I'd find something other than the standard buns as they are about as tasty as rice cakes. As far as I'm concerned the only purpose they serve is like an editable napkin so that you don't get condiment juice on your hands. Oh, and I have long since replaced ketchup with BBQ sauce. That is one of the most important cultural contributions this region makes to the American condiment cuisine scene.

A piece of really really good peach pie is the best. A piece of mediocre peach pie is the worst.

As to grilling & charcoal, I went over to the dark side & had a permanent line installed that runs to the grill from my 500 gallon household propane tank. Oh, yeah! Now, we're cookin.' Gotta have pecan wood & an offset fire, though, to do my brisket right. Takes all day & many beers to accomplish.

Mustard is good for what ails ya. I relish it.

wmathews 1 year, 12 months ago

I'm a busy woman who needs to be able to grill some dinner and watch Game of Thrones without any trouble. Propane it is. At least I haven't lit corn husks on fire this week.

There is no way mustard is a condiment of the gods. It would definitely be left behind in the rapture. Ketchup would ascend to heaven where all the angels would put it on their corndogs.

wmathews 1 year, 12 months ago

At least the title is capitalized. That makes it important.

Jonathan Kealing 1 year, 12 months ago

As far as condiments go, there's ketchup, and then there's everything else. I'll occasionally use certain mustards on certain items, but ketchup is always preferred.

scopi_guy 1 year, 12 months ago

I think it was Hank Hill (King of the Hill) who said the only people who put ketchup on hot dogs are either from Oklahoma or had suffered a head injury at some point in their lives.

RoeDapple 1 year, 12 months ago

I always cook over briquets/hickory . . . on the rare occasion I am asked/(ordered) to grill. However . . . . As the Mrs does like to grill several times per week and has not had a grill to do so for about a month . . . a new propane grill was purchased and assembled this AM. Think I'll go get a DQ ice cream cake and wait for her to make me a sammich . . .

wmathews 1 year, 12 months ago

I'm gonna have to go with this one because it uses chunky peanut butter AND ketchup (not mustard) - http://www.heinzketchup.com/RecipeDetail.aspx?id=61

If ketchup is a vegetable then what is mustard?

TheStonesSuck 1 year, 12 months ago

If tomatoes are a fruit, then isn't ketchup technically a smoothie?

wmathews 1 year, 12 months ago

You just made eating mustard sound painful.

none2 1 year, 12 months ago

If you like mustards that much, then one day you should visit the Mustard Museum in Wisconsin.

http://mustardmuseum.com/

I found out about it in the Lawrence Journal World's Wednesday Extra Paper -- back in the 90's. (There was no ljworld.com back then.) It was a very interesting place with lots of world mustards for sale. Plus of course there were plenty of souvenirs including their famous collegiate momentous for their favorite college:

Pumpkin pie with real whipped cream. it's why I love the holidays.

Pywacket 1 year, 12 months ago

Y'all been huddled in your basements since 8:15?

Apples, peaches, pumpkin pie You were young and so was I.....

I baked sour cherry muffins today with a sprinkling of raw sugar/mace/ground coriander on top. Good warm with a slather of butter.

Love anything chocolate... any kind of pie (favorites: strawberry rhubarb, cherry, french silk, custard)... fresh strawberry shortcake.... brownies.... most ice cream or sorbet... carrot cake... cheesecake...

Best way to eat blueberry pie: heated with a big dollop of tapioca pudding.

I don't think round 2 is going to amount to much--if it even makes its way here. It has gotten cold out, though. Just took the dogs out and it was chilly.

Oh--and ketchup is mustard's hillbilly cousin. Not that I don't like it on a hamburger or fries... but mustard is delectable. Everything from plain, ol' yellow mustard to various strengths of stoneground browns, mustard with horseradish, and on to the fancier stuff... One favorite: Terrapin Ridge wasabi-lime mustard. Had it at Free State once and it was so good I had to find it online. I don't think they have it any more (at FS) but you can get it (and lots of other goodies) here: http://www.terrapinridge.com/
