BdiB is evil, but the thing they call Tiramisu (it ain't) is actually tasty, unlike the thing they call Tiramisu at TOG.

Argh, I really want a copy of Food Fads now. Curse this Chop Suey talk.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am suffering from Drama overload. Teen Titans, JLU, and HP6.

Teen Titans and JLU *rocked* hard this week.

Have read first 10 chapters of HP6. **SPOILER** I loved when the guy did the thing with the stuff. That was cool.

Well, crap. No reason to read any more. Thanks a lot.

My aunt makes a chocolate tiramisu which might not be authentic but is so good it will make you cry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My friend Heather went into labor (her water broke) at a Chuck E. Cheese, which she says was providential, as her 4-year-old and his best friend were too mesmerized by the cartoons to worry about the people bringing Mommy water and the sudden arrival of Dad and neighbor to take them home and whisk her to the hospital.

And then! There was the part with the characters and the interpersonal conflict -- I was on the edge of my seat!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

t Looks suspiciously at Dana That's some sort of trick, isn't it? Those "ninth circle of hell" posts are tipping me off.

Is that really the impression of Houston yo want me to have?

What is even happening?

lasagna (with cottage cheese instead of ricotta).
Barf! Blech!
Cheese wise, and lasagna wise, there's not a huge difference. The cheeses are similar. The biggest difference is probably curd size and iirc, the oven makes that less noticeable. I only use ricotta, but I've had the cottage cheese sort, and provided the sauce is okay, it's fine, provided you mix in garlic, parsley, and eggs, like you would with the ricotta.

I've never even heard of Buca di Beppo. It sounds made up.

Me, neither, and it does. We have so many good, Italian restaurants in the area (because we have a large Italian-American population) that I've never been to too many chain Italian restaurants. I have tried the Macaroni Grill, twice. It's not bad. I've never seen an Olive Garden. I've seen plenty of ads; I just can't recall driving by one, anywhere.

We had Peter Piper Pizza, which is similar to CEC. I can see how it would be the 9th circle of hell, but kids really do adore it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I've got a recipe for tiramisu that, if I do say so myself, isn't half-bad. Uses pound cake instead of ladyfingers, but it's still tasty, if expensive to make (mascarpone cheese costs a fortune!).
