:) Yes, turn in your toque immediately.

Seriously, though, there's nothing wrong with taking shortcuts, and
certainly nothing wrong with taking shortcuts using quality
ingredients, which it sounds like you do. So the pate comes from a
tube -- there are some Very Good Things which come in tubes these days
(down, boys, down -- that's not what I mean). And it's certainly no
sin to use prepared puff pastry or canned mushrooms.

Rest easy, you're committing no cardinal cooking sins. :)

Heh. Reminds me of one of my best received potluck dishes: Chef
BoyArdee meat raviolis (two big cans) layered in the crockpot with
slices of American Cheese (decent sliced stuff, not the
individually-wrapped ones). I can't eat it anymore, but people really
love it. On the rare occasions I used to take it to office potlucks,
I never had to take any home.

Okay, I'll bite. What's snoot? I gather it's prolly a nose-bit, but
from what animal?

I lived in the Bay Area for 3 years, as a matter of fact! ;) I know a
couple SFers who don't like it, either.

Never had corn rye...

You're not alone. A box never lasts 24 hours in this household.

Just curious ... have you read the ingredient list on the label?

What's so shameful about that? Sounds like a good midafternoon snack to me!

In fact, I think that's what I'll have before I go to work tonight.

Hey, I like that too with beans, cream cheese, salsa, guacamole, cheddar
cheese, olives and tortilla chips. Good stuff!

Okay, now that we're going there, how about toasted peanut butter and honey
sandwiches? I loved to add butter to the bread too. God, now that's a
little taste of heaven.

Dang, Ginny, you beat me to it. Okay, don't read my previous post. LOL.
Serves me right for not checking the NG sooner.

Nope, ate it with bread "grilled" on the bottom of a coffee maker. Hey, we
were hungry, it was cold and we were in a cabin by a lake with electricy,
but no gas (stove was gas). We even cooked up some shrimp on that coffee
maker.........

Mike, ever try sauteeing cubed SPAM and green beans? That's a Hawaiian
staple. You can add slivered almonds too, but don't forget the sesame oil.

Hmmm, sounds very interesting. I'd try it, given the choice.

That's funny! Wish I'd known that when I was wracking my brain for pot luck
dishes; I'll keep it in mind. I like frozen (cooked, of course) toasted
raviolis with a nice pomodoro sauce.
