LOL! I overheard a grocery store conversation between a man and his (maybe)
7-year old kid. The kid picked up a can of cheese whiz and said "What's
this dad? Does it taste good?" Dad replied "it's like whipped cream made
of fake cheese". The kid looked ill. I completely cracked up

I like Velveeta for grilled cheese sammies. My dogs like it too but it
makes 'em fart like mad :-)

Oh Alex, you all have me hankering for a cheesesteak sandwich! We have a
place here in Sacramento to which my Philly friend Elle has given 2 thumbs
up with a twist. I think it's called Mr. Charlie's. We just call it the
cheesesteak place, I never pay attention to the actual name. The sandwiches
are the real deal and although my experience with Philly sandwiches is
limited, I do know from cheesesteak so nyah nyah nyah!

LOLOL! My cousin's young son is a mac and cheese man. The boy practically
subsists on mac and cheese alone, he's a very picky eater and his mom hasn't
forced that issue (he's lucky he ain't MY kid!!!). I made mac and cheese
for them one evening when I had the whole famdamily over. Fancy schmancy
mac and cheese using lovely cheeses. And no yellow coloring. The kid
wouldn't touch it. He ate the homemade parker house rolls and nothing else
that night.

They're usually located in front of the deli counter in my local store (Save

How about quail egg sashimi? <vbeg>

For the record, I love caviar but won't go anywhere near raw oysters. I
prefer them breaded with cracker crumbs and fried like mom used to do
them. They are very flavorful that way.

Heh! Nah. But I had a t-shirt that I bought back in college when I was a
member of the fencing club; (I fenced Saber for 3 years) that said "Beat
me, Bind me but don't touch me". It was a fencing terminology joke for
Foil fencing...

The beat and the bind are both parry moves. The touch is a score/hit
against you.

I also fenced foil the first year but preferred saber as it was more
realistic.

Our eldest female cat loves cheese, and grilled cheese sandwiches are her
favourite (after leftover egg yolks). I usually give her a small corner
with the bread and cheese and she eats it all. Velveeta is the one that
gets her attention quickest of all.

This is the second largest winery in Texas but they produce some great
wines. http://www.pricegroupinc.com/lw/908/index3.html

There are a couple of smaller wineries in the Lubbock area but I think
you have to visit them to purchase the wines. There are lots of
interesting things to see in Lubbock besides wine tasting. You might
want to consider a trip when winter is over. They get real winter in
Lubbock.

I grew up with it and still can't stand it. Velveta or real cheese is
MUCH better. Even ragu makes a cheese sauce that's far better than
the blue box garbage if one needs a quick junk food meal.

Yeah, I've used the Ragu cheese sauce a couple times, and it's pretty
good (avoid the Alfredo like the plague). A tastier "sauce" is
Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup. I'm of the opinion that shortcuts can
be good, if you choose carefully. That Kraft boxed mix. Icky!

LOL! Kraft Blue Box is *not* a short cut, it is a destination.
