I could go for Nathan's french fries RIGHT NOW.

I'll buy if you'll fly.

I seen Nathan's hotdogs at the store the other day. Is this new or have they always been in the stores?

I have seen Nathan's in the stores for years

They aren't bad but I think I like vienna beef more.

I think they're branching out across the country now (in supermarkets). Our local stores have been carrying them for many years, and lately I've seen their french fries in many frozen food sections here. The fries aren't as good as if you bought them at a real Nathan's, but they're the best frozen fries I've ever tried.

Mig, if you try the Nathan's franks, grill or broil them - don't boil them.

I got my fries today up in Yonkers (the 3rd oldest Nathan's in the country, after Brooklyn and Oceanside). I had 3 dogs and 2 fries. Maybe it's all in my mind, but even their relish is the best!

I think the next time I go to the store I'll pick up a pack. And I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks!

As SC said, Nathans are delicious and perfect for grilling. I also love Thumanns for grilling. Both are very very good.



If you decide to grill them on the BBQ, keep the BBQ on high, but do NOT place the Franks directly on the lower rack of the grill. Instead place then on the upper rack and then close the cover. By grilling them that way they'll plump, split and crisp up.

But as SC said, whatever you do, do NOT boil them. If you are going to boil franks, then buy the Sabrett pushcart style brand.

Thank you for your suggestions as well DC.

Why is that almost everything that nutritional science tells us is good for us tastes like sh** and everything that nutritional science tells us is bad for us tastes great?

Because it's a cruel f'n world.

Hey Cardi,

FYI,

My family is requesting that I make the delicious prime rib receipe you gave me for the holidays. They all say they'd rather have that for Thanksgiving instead of turkey. I like Prime Rib better than turkey too, but you gotta have turkey on Thanksgiving. I'm thinking maybe I'll make it on Christmas.

Anyway, just wanted you to know what a hit it was, and if anyone else on the BB is interested, we can repost. It's really really good.

I can't believe it is October and I'm still picking green beans out of my back yard garden. I need to save some of the beans for seeds for next years crop.

I'll be having Thanksgiving, too, TIS. I have the best sausage stuffing recipe if anyone's interested.

How can anyone eat mashed potatoes from a box or frozen bag?

I never understand how people eat mashed potato with onions all mashed up in it.

No two food groups should be mixed together. It's just gross.

The salami my wife buys from CostCo is just delicious!

It does'nt last 2 minutes in the Yogi fridge!

I think I'm gonna get some mashed potatos, carrots spinach and a big ol' steak, mix them all together and make you eat them. Ha ha ha ha I never mix my food together either, but I don't mind if, in the course of eating dinner, some juice from the corn touches he meat or a piece of carrot gets in the mashed potatos. Then, on the other hand, I am that way with any liquid I drink. No crumbs, no dipping, no kind of floaties in any drink I have. I'll dump it and get another.

Plus, I like to tease you.

Picky eater!

The dinnerware at the Babes' house:

Ha ha ha ha! I think they have that same dinnerware on sale somewhere. Buy one place setting, get a second free.

But make sure there are no crumbs in any sections, we don't want to gross SB out. (Wait til she sees this)

Btw, speaking of mixing foods together,I was never raised on this, and admit it doesn't appeal to me, but I remember "hash" (no not hashish) was a common dinner for one of my friends. You know, mixing all leftover together?????? Never had it, but it doesn't sound good to me.

When I was a little girl, my mom used to let me dunk my cookies in milk. When I was done with the cookies, she would strain the milk into another glass so that I would drink it.

I know it seems bizarrely OCD to eat like that, but I can't help it. It makes me actually nauseous to see someone mixing potatoes and a vegetable together. Not only do I have to have them separate, but I also have to eat them in order, from least to most favorite, saving the best for last. Like Sally, I am also very big with the phrase "on the side".

I am totally insane.

That might be overstating it. Then again, maybe not.

You're just a PICKY EATER!!! PICKY EATER!!

I'm really NOT. I do eat a lot of different foods. I'm just picky about the way they're served.

Just a little bit.

Me and my Sis-in-law made mash potato pancakes tonight. yum-Yum!

A pizza-eating contest was held in Times Square (NYC) today in honor of Columbus Day (tomorrow). The winner, Joey Chestnut, a former hot dog eating champion, ate 45 slices in the allotted ten minutes.

The pizza was standard 16" size (eight slices/pie).

FORTY FIVE slices???

Is the human stomach even that big in the first place? That is more than 5 large pizzas
