Food and other such holidays

I have a weakness for Cherry Coke, I can't get it here so I often bring a few cases back from my trips Stateside , it's like I want it because I can't have it.

 

Cherry Dr. Pepper just isn't the same.

Just add a little grenadine to your Coke; or cherry juice.

[Craig Arko]

By the way, for all you transplants who may be missing out today...

First snowfall of the year? How much has fallen so far? In order to prevent rubbing it in, I'll leave it up to you if you want to google the temperature in Austin. 

[Mike Sixel]

No accumulation in Edina/SLP area....but I am reminded why I had planned to move by now, damn slow RE market....

[twinsnorth49]

It's like a hurricane up here today, except with snow.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Go for the Cream Soda, mates.

Cream Soda slurpees are my all time favourite!

[twinsnorth49]

 

My old college roommate always wants me to ship Vanilla Coke to him in Thunder Bay. Why doesn't Canada allow flavored Coke products?

Well, Mike has a valid question in response to your query. My take is that they think we won't notice, that goes for a lot of things up here, and has some validity.

 

I don't really get it, conspiracy is probably closer to the truth, isn't it always?

 

You can keep the simulated vanilla products btw..............blech! Real vanilla good, not real vanilla , bad.

Oh, you're all helpful now, but ask a bisque question and you get all uppity on me .

Is it tacky to say a thread you started is one of your favorite threads? Asking for a friend....

Suuuuuure you are

 

Actually, I really like this thread because it changes every day with a new food or item to be celebrated. But when we come full circle, not sure what we'll do!

Nah, be proud of what you started! This is my 2nd favorite thread, behind Minnesota Twins Whine Line.

Tell your friend it's one of my favourite threads as well, and that his question isn't tacky.

Alright, this day is a huge win in my book. Drum roll please...........

Today is National Peanut Butter Fudge Day. Good lord that sounds amazing. My mouth is drooling looking at pictures. 

Today is also National Absurdity Day. Which is nothing new on TD. It's absurd to me that The Front Office and Settling for Mediocrity thread refuses to die. It's like it's grown a mind of its own, and sucks in posters to feed it, continue to grow, and eventually take over the entire site. We're all going to be absorbed by its powers some day.

You had me at peanut butter. Anything and everything peanut butter.

[Mike Sixel]

My oldest son eats PB all the time. When he recently posted a picture of fruit and vegetable as his dinner, one of his friends asked where the PB was. He replied that he only had 5 jars left, and needed to ration it......His ice cream is usually more PB than ice cream in the bowl.

God help me

 

Is tomorrow National Go to the Gym day by any chance?

Heh, that sounds like me. I don't eat a lot of meat, so PB becomes my main protein source.

It could be! But who wants to go to a gym on a weekend? That's prime drinking weather.

[Vanimal46]

This is the most controversial question I can think of for PB. Crunchy or Creamy?

[Squirrel]

omg!!! CREAMY!!! Just eat peanuts if you want crunch.

[Mike Sixel]

Crunchy? Is that still a disgusting thing?

[Willihammer]

Peanut butter fudge? I'm going to pretend its just peanut butter.

 

Crunchy >>>>>>>> Creamy.

 

Also natural >>>>>>>> not natural.

[Vanimal46]

Creamy is the equivalent to a Honda Accord. Reliable, trustworthy, the kind of PB you'll enjoy any day.

 

But sometimes, you need that THRILL. A change from your routine. Crunchy is the sports car of PB. Can't use it every day, but every so often it hits the spot.

[Willihammer]

(Raises hand) I'll drive a sports car everyday! Even in the snow!

 

Apple slices + PB dip is a great snack too. Better/healthier choice than carmel.

[formerly33]

CRUNCHY! Any day, any time. If you want the cream, chew. And if you like the crunch, don't settle for peanuts when there's PB at hand...peanuts are truly horrible, though I'll grudgingly admit they've miraculously redeemed themselves through peanut butter, clinching a place for themselves in this world.

 

Still, PB isn't exactly my thing. When is National Cheese Day??? Cheese to me is like PB to Mike's son. It's mankind's greatest creation, and it comes in countless varieties, each representing different cultures in their own unique way. It's not uncommon for me to go through nearly a whole brick in one sitting, even ordinary cheddar cheese, and the only thing that stops me is my kindhearted generosity; it wouldn't do to completely exclude the rest of my family from this wonderful food. Cheese>>>anything else on the planet. I'm constantly being teased about taking a little [---] with my cheese.

 

Heh...you'd almost think I was a Packers fan.

Cheese can be polarizing at times... There are countless examples of great cheeses out there, but there are also some that are too funky for my taste buds. I will say there is one cheese that comes to mind that I will never, ever, consider eating.....

Cottage Cheese.
