Nope, on a fork.

Sounds fabulous. My sammich was just turkey. On homemade bread, at least.

Everything I can get my hands on.

English muffin with brie and homemade(not by me!)orange marmalade.

mmm, brie.

Just finished a hot dog from a new place in town. Very meh--too much bread, not enough dog. Fries were good, but messing up fries takes real skill.

Made dark chocolate chunk and dried cherry oatmeal cookies from scratch. Yes, dark chocolate chunks instead of chips, mixed with cherries in a cookie, yum! Ate several

That sounds fabulous!

For me, French toast, made with nice thick slices of my homemade sourdough bread.

Still have not made sandwich yet. Will be ham, swiss, tomato on 7 grain bread.

That sounds like an amazing sandwich. I should see about making some 7-grain bread...

Chicken Caesar
All-natural, antibiotic-free chicken, Asiago, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions & our Caesar dressing, on our Three Cheese bread.

It was just okay. The break kept falling apart.

That's a shame. It sounds like it could have been an amazing sammich.

Lunch time!! Egg salad on whole wheat bread and a pineapple Chobani greek yogurt, yummy.

Jalepeno bagel with cream cheese. Bagel was from a place I'd not tried before...won't go back. Tastes ok, but totally un-bagel in texture. More like bread.

Grilled burgers. Tried grilling naked corn on the cob. It wasn't on long enough. Needs some tweaking.

corn chips and milk

I'm eating chocolate cake because I'm stuck with it.

I always have strawberry shortcake on my birthday and just couldn't wait till then so I stopped and purchased one today. A little while ago I took it out of the fridge and saw this beautiful round mass of white fluffy heaven with eight big strawberries on top. Couldn't wait to get a piece of it.

Took a knife, sliced it and inside was a two layer chocolate cake with fudge in between layers. All I can say is W T H, so disappointed. I've never heard of a strawberry shortcake like this in my life. Called the store and they said it wasn't labeled wrong and that some of their strawberry shortcakes are chocolate.

PFFT! Never heard of such a thing, it's just wrong, really wrong.

Agree, that's ridiculous.

Yep. Won't be buying from the bakery in that store again. The lady on the phone pointed out that on the label it says C Strawberry Shortcake. I checked and it did in fact have a C, but still...

So how are you supposed to know C means chocolate?

How can a strawberry shortcake be chocolate?

pooflady wrote:So how are you supposed to know C means chocolate?

I haven't a clue. The whole thing is weird to me. I ate one piece last night and gave the rest to a neighbor. Just pissed me off looking at it. lol

That's what my question was. So I was a smart ass. Went to google and typed in chocolate strawberry shortcake. I fully expected that my search would come up with no choc. strawberry shortcakes. Then I was going to print that page out and take it over to the bakery and show them that there is no such thing.

I hit search and there are pages and pages of recipes for chocolate strawberry shortcakes. I see it and still don't believe it. I believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny more.

Last half of a chicken-cheese-steak sammy.

No steak, not sure why they're called that, but still very yummy.

Same place, I ordered a gyro and pronouncded it 'he-row'. The gal looked blankly at me, so I pointed to it on the menu and she said, with exaggerated sounds, 'oh, a JIE-row.'

Mmmhmm.

Funny you should say this. We just had a discussion about this last week when we were downtown and my son corrected me. According to google translate audio, he was wrong.

GYRO

Hmm, interesting. Thanks.

HI. Just finished a deli sliced turkey with swiss (I warm it a wee bit in the micro-good enough with cheese melted not to have to add any mustard, mayo, or the like) on 5 grain bread and some iced green tea.

Would love to try the Cstrawberry shortcake - never heard of it either.

A toasted whole grain tortilla folded over nutella.

I always thought gyro was pronounced yearo.

But!! Pronouncing it "correctly" (in the Greek way) is largely unnecessary in America. I see it as akin to insisting on Paris being pronounced Pah-rhee or BMW actually being Bee Em Doobleh-Veh. My own pronunciation largely depends on my "audience."

And thus ends Goldenthorn's Unwelcome Lecturing Interruption of the day. But, hey, THE MORE YOU KNOW, amirite?

Change it to welcome interruption. Thanks.

Thread-topic-adding, to be somewhat less jumping-in-ish: I am currently working my way through a most healthful and wise selection of leftover sushi, bagel dogs, lunchables, falafel with tzatziki, and chocolate chip cookies--all washed down with coffee. My stomach is a wonderland of calm and neutrality.

Wait until later.

What's a bagel dog?

A chocolate chip cookie and a chai latte. A bit too sweet together, but each are individually good.

I just got back from a late night T.G.I. Fridays trip. I had Pot Stickers and Potato Skins. Yum!
