USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Montrovant]

I think I could sit and eat an entire ice cream cake. I'd feel like crap after, but the good ones are so yummy!

I can take a little, little piece. I am not a fan of the super sweet. And i will require black coffee with it to offset the sugar overload.

I can live without cream/milk, but I always put sugar in my coffee! (when I actually drink it)

You folks are just going to freak...

My favorite cake and yes my mother made for me was Mayonnaise cake.

Ewww. Whenever I get a sandwich from the sub shop, I always tell them to go very light with the mayo.

I usually don't get mayo on my subs. Prefer mustard on some or their sweet onion sauce is great.

You shouldn't skip the cream/milk though because it really helps with the GERD.

Jasmine rice...hmmmm?

Basmati, not sticky like Jasmine.

You don't seem like the Minute Rice type...I was at least hoping not that

No, was raised on that kind of crap, margarine, Miracle Whip, Velveeta, etc. When I discovered real food I never went back. The primary reason I use the powdered forms is when I'm cooking for the wife, she likes the flavor but onions and garlic don't like her in their normal state, she will bur them all night long. Frozen veggies means I don't have to make a trip to the store every day to buy fresh and considering I was raised on over cooked, mushy canned vegetables frozen is a huge step up. Don't get me wrong I prefer fresh veggies but I don't have a problem with frozen either.

Sounds like my childhood to the T.
My mother was, and still is, a terrible cook. Her idea of Sunday dinner was those "Banquet Salisbury Steaks" ...canned corn and boxed mash potato mix.
Her entire spice collection was salt. pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder...that's about it. EVerything was canned and boxed, that was the 60's and 70's.
Same as you, I discovered real food in my early 20's...and learned to cook..and never went back. I buy so little processed foods, almost zero. Ketchup, mustard and Hellman's mayo is pretty much the only prepared things I eat.
And one other thing...canned carrots...why in all that is holy do these things exist? They taste absolutely dreadful, and it's not like slicing real carrots is that hard.

I'll up the ante...I make my own ketchup and mayo. It's not that hard and you can leave out the sugar, extra salt, and all those unpronounceable preservatives. Just make small batches, more often. I have a new batch of home-made Worcestershire on the stove right now, too. Again, no additional salt or sugar in the mix and it tastes so good!

I actually do have a homemade mayo recipe that I use in a pinch if I'm out of the storebought stuff. Never tried ketchup or worchestershire sauce.

Love ice cream cake too. I like pies too.

So how do you stay so skinny? It isn't fair you know.

Cheesecake is one of my special desserts. I have a fabulous old family recipe. It's not overly sweet, either - the cheese makes it a tad savory. It also has a sour cream layer.

I hope I never happen to find myself relying on you for dessert!

I don't eat cheesecake at all. Yuck. I'm not a fan of cheese most of the time with dinner, certainly not as part of dessert. I also don't like sour cream.

And while I'm talking about putting non-dessert foods into dessert, what's with carrot cake? Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good cake by making it with carrots? I like carrots as a snack, or in salad, but cake?

The only reason to eat carrot cake is for the delicious cream cheese frosting!

I agree. I love raw carrots, carrot juice, properly seasoned cooked carrots, carrot soufflé, but have never found carrot cake to be anything I would intentionally order. But I do love the cream cheese frosting so I just use that on other things.

Try that on brownies! Yummy!

Or just skip the extra calories from the brownie and eat the frosting with a spoon!

Still deciding if I'm going to fess up actually doing that.

Okay, I'm off to watch a movie and will almost certainly fall asleep and not get back to the computer tonight. So. . .

Good night darlinks. I really do love you guys.

And we keep vigil for:

Harper (Save's granddaughter),
Pogo’s friend Pat and special comfort for Pogo,
TK, and TK's grandma,
Becki and Becki’s hubby,
Mrs. O and SFCOllie,
GW's daughter, her friend Sachendra, and Sachendra's husband Bob and son Gary.
Noomi!!!
Nosmo's mom,
Ernie's stop smoking project,
Sherry’s Mom,
Sixfoot's bad back,
Rod, GW's partner,
IamwhatIseem's bad hip,
The Ringels in difficult transition,
Mr. Kat and Kat's mom,
All of us and those we care about who are looking for work,

And the light is left on for Alan, Noomi, Freedombecki, Oddball, BBD, Spoonman, 007, BigBlackDog, and all the others who we miss and hope to return.

And for the most decadent food crowd in today's most interesting culinary discussion, I will leave you all a midnight snack of Canadian poutine:

So how do you stay so skinny? It isn't fair you know.

Some of us are just naturally thin. I can't eat as much junk as I could when I was younger, though.

Reflux problems also help. I dropped some bad and potentially fattening things from my diet because of my reflux.

I use creamer when I drink coffee, which isn't very often. I just meant that I don't mind coffee without cream, but I don't want it without sugar.

For those who don't know, the photo with the vigil list last night is a scene from the inside of Ernie's bar. I don't drink and I would love visiting there.

I appreciate that you posted a shot from Doc Hollidays!
As always, everyone raved about my butt (pulled pork for you folks with dirty minds) and our Pirates Bash was a great night. We had live entertainment from a two piece group called Delta Smoke and we featured rum drinks, adding 5 new ones to the repertoire. Here's a shot of me with 2 of my favorite bar wenches.

Yes, that is a real sword and I do know how to use it.

Doc's Saturday night Special...

View attachment 79345

Can't stand BBQ sauce on potatoes (or veggies), don't even use ketchup on fries so that would be a definite no for me.

A little mayo with sriracha is better.

I don't actually know what sriracha is, but nothing is better for having mayo on it.

Gotta have mayo, preferably Miracle Whip, on my sandwich, except that I will let Subway substitute sweet onion sauce on their sandwiches.

Miracle Whip is NOT mayonnaise! It is vile and disgusting.... worse, MUCH worse than asparagus.
Hellman's is mayonnaise. It is made from soybean oil, water, whole eggs and egg yolks, vinegar, salt, sugar and lemon juice. Miracle Whip is an evil concoction made from mustard flour, water, soybean oil, paprika, high fructose corn syrup, eggs, vinegar, modified cornstarch, salt, natural flavor, dried garlic, the preservative potassium sorbate, and spice

Looking good Ernie. But why do I imagine you as a star on Duck Dynasty? Love the outfits.

Oil & vinegar, s & p. Mayo kills it.

I go for flavor. Mustard has it. Mayo does not. For me it just adds calories without increasing my enjoyment of the sandwich or whatever. So alas, though I am doing my best to cook and eat healthier food, I won't give up the guilty pleasure of enjoying my food. And sometimes that just requires Miracle Whip that has a great flavor at least for those of us who enjoy it.

I'll have some mayo on hand or will make some for those of you who don't like Miracle Whip when you come for a visit though.

I hate Miracle Whip.

Miracle Whip loves everyone, mostly the thighs.
