Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My friend Claudine has a dessert catering business in SD. She reports:
This month I've created a new Caramel Walnut cake with Cream Cheese frosting (a new flavor I discovered and devoured on my cupcake tour of NYC over Christmas). I made a Chocolate Raspberry Torte with Cocoa Whipped Ganache frosting for a private party. I got a small order for Pretty Princess Pink Cupcakes with edible heart decorations.

I got it, but didn't find it funny.
So why am I posting it? Dunno. Anyone find it funny?
Not really.
Hmm. Wikipedia says that "bulkie roll" is a New England term. I know I grew up using that term -- maybe just my mom, who was a New Englander, used it? I could swear other people did.
Yeah, the whole bulkie roll thing was a shocker when I moved to Philly -- I just wanted a sandwich, and they were looking at me like I was on crack. I had never heard of a Kaiser roll.
In other news, this week's (White) Rapper Show is making me laugh SO EFFING HARD.

Which one is this? What is funny? Is it the game show?
It is, in fact, the game show. Sweet lord, I couldn't stop laughing.
Weird. I hit Random Article on Wikipedia and it pulled up Travis Air Force Base which is where my sister was born.
That doesn't seem random enough.
Hmm. I think that many of my terms for foods are actually New England terms, though I grew up in NY/NJ. And I can't figure out what I call a sandwich on a long roll. Sub and hero both seem right. Hoagie seems a little less right. I know that I don't say grinder unless I'm in Maine. Italian hero or Italian sandwich means a particular kind -- the one with a bunch of meats and cheeses and oil and vinegar.
Do people elsewhere not use "pie" to refer to pizza?
Now I want pizza.
My best friend from college did her internship and residency at the hospital at Travis (the Air Force put her through med school at UCSD). She did her three of her last four years with the AF in Japan, and then her final year at the base near Dupont, WA (forget the name of it).
My school called those kinds of sandwiches "hoagies," but we normally just called them subs. I never use the word "pie" for pizza unless I'm being silly. ("I'll partake of a portion of that pizza pie, please!")
I think pizza comes by the slice or the pie, so I'd order a large pie, sure.
