There is a pizza place in lewisburg Ohio where I grew up, called Sarahs' pizza. Just a small hometown pizza joint all of us would hit after school and when ever else we could..The best pizza!! (I should do a review on them)

To this day whenever I visit my grandma ( she still lives there) She will order me a Sarah's pizza....Its a great memory from my childhood, and its a great time with my grandma...

I like to buy her magazines when I can afford them. She had this recipe in one of them that I just love to make it is Homemade Kit Kat bars that my co-workers love. I know I can not make it as good as she does, but I try. I like to watch her show on the Food Network when I can. To what some say, I felt bad for her when she was accidently hit in the face with that ham before Thanksgiving.

Favorite childhood snack you long for.

I have always like eating Milk Duds at the movies when I was a kid. I still like to eat them, but I haven't ate them since August. I also like different kind of suckers and Juicy Fruit gum every now and then.

Favorite childhood snack you long for.

There are many goodies from my childhood, too many to name here! The Barnum Animal crackers was an absolute treat in my single digit years. In my teens, the ultimate treat came in the form of a Suzy-Q from Hostess or Drake. It was the best to me because my Mom was very adament about how much sugar, especially chocolate, I ate. In my mind at the time, to be able to eat those delectable chocolate cakes with the cream in between was about as close to Heaven on Earth as it get! Ah, memories of childhood!

Love it. Anything with yellow tail or ahi tuna is right up my alley. In San Diego Tokyo Sushi is on ElCajon Blvd just west of the 70th street. Fabulous mixed rolls. Loud at night, more social noise level earlier in day.

Yeah, but how do you feel about Nova with Cream Cheese on a bagel?

I'm a huge fan, but only of the rolls, not of the plain raw fish. We have a place near us (in Mason, OH) where they have half-priced sushi on thursdays, and we probably go there at least once a month. Delicious!!! Love a spider roll with the tempura-fried soft-shell crab. Even my DH, who doesn't eat raw ANYTHING, loves their sushi.

I Used to be scared to even try sushi; I thought it was all raw fish. Then a friend of mine (who is Japanese) made me some sushi. Yum!! Now I like it. Unfortunately, it's expensive here where we live, so I don't get it very often. Maybe my Japanese friend will invite me over again soon for more sushi ...

Sashimi is the raw fish.

Sushi refers to the way that the rice is prepared with rice vinegar and a bit of sugar. Sushi is often served with some kind of raw fish on top.

When you go to a sushi restaurant, you might see:

nigiri — a little lump of sushi rice with something on top, such as a sliver of fish (nigiri is from the verb nigiru which means to seize or grasp, such as the lump of sushi rice is) and possibly wrapped by a strip of nori (roast seaweed)
maki — a sushi "roll" made of a sheet of nori (roast seaweed) rolled around sushi rice and other featured ingredients, which ends up looking like a cylinder but then is typically cut into 6 little columns.
temaki — a "hand roll". This is a pocket (likely triangular), not unlike a pita pocket, made of nori (roast seaweed) with sushi rice and other ingredients

Hope that helps!

Simply, inexpensive holiday treats?

dolphin9600 — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:34:55 GMT

Do you have any 3-4 ingredient quick, inexpensive recipes to make for the holidays to give to others for gifts-homemade of course!

I usually do my fudge, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 regular size back semi sweet chocolate chips-melt in the microwave for 30 second intervals (until completely melted-stir after each 30 second interval), pour into a buttered & foiled pan (the smaller the pan, the thicker the fudge, mmmm!), refridgerate until firm. Lift out the foil, cut into the size you prefer.

It wouldn't be the holidays without (what food)?

Your recipe sounds absolutely delish ! I'm definitely trying it soon.

For Christmas Eve dinner my mom always made baked stuffed lobster for everyone and now my sisters and I will keep the tradition going along with many other goodies we learned how to prepare from her.

Hi RudiXeno and darlyn63! I don't have an exact recipe I follow, I just kind of know when it looks right, but this is how I make my Sausage Stuffing.

You'll need:

2 loaves of bread, tube of Jimmy Dean's sausage, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped celery, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, ground sage, garlic salt, black pepper and butter.

1. Tear your bread into medium-sized pieces and leave in a large bowl uncovered. Saute your veggies in butter until soft. I use a lot of butter because that will later help the bread get a good "crust" from the oven.

2. Brown the sausage in a pan and crumble into small pieces, drain grease.

3. Add your softened veggies (with butter from pan) and crumbled sausage to your bowl with torn bread. Sprinkle poultry seasoning, pepper, garlic salt and ground sage over everything. Mix it all up and sprinkle some more seasonings. This dish really works well with lots of dried sage and poultry seasoning!

4. A little bit at a time, pour chicken broth to the mix and stir it around. Once you get the texture you like, pour the stuffing in a greased casserole dish and bake.

It's done when you get a nice crispy crust on top, but the stuffing underneath is still moist. Hopefully I didn't leave anything out, I just eye ball it :) Enjoy!

Stuffing

Strangest Thing Anyone Ever Served You at a Meal?

CyndiA — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 03:44:58 GMT

When I was a kid, my Granny made chicken livers and gizzards. Well, the liver . . . . OK. Those gizzards, whew, those are chewy is about all I'll say.

I've all about diversity and love all kinds of food, but there are times when you have to wonder: What were they thinking?

Ever get served something the totally stuck in your head as odd and will always be memorable - cough - for reasons other than of the "yum - that was great" variety.

Happy Thanksgiving, the day after all! We all stuffed our faces, and of course the turkey knocked me out early. Long day in the kitchen. Made two pumpkin pies, YUM, YUM! Everything turned out very, very tasty. As usual, my hubby had two plates of food which he know he pays for being uncomfortable after wards, I guess that's why the big dishes and all got washed right after so we wouldn't feel so guilty. lol...I Hope you and yours had a Very nice thanksgiving, I know I have alot to be Thankful for!

And this2shallpass19, I'd also like to know what you put in your sausage stuffing, I make one also, always looking for good recipes.

I made a pig of myself over the holidays on . . .

Coming home tonight my gut is definitely stuffed. I'm thinking the topper was the blueberry/pineapple pie... Yum. But everything was wonderful.
