Now, if only Coke (or Pepsi) would start offering Splenda-based sodas! Blargh. (yes, I'm aware that Diet RC & Diet Rite are both Splenda-based, and for that they’ll continue earning my business)
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been thinking about going to Braum’s to celebrate my new employment. I’ve decided on Thursday, and you’re welcome to join me at 9pm (on Thursday) at the Braum’s on Greenville :).
Mmm, now I just need to decide between the Brownie Fudge Sundae and the Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sundae...
I was talking with Bryan earlier today, and he mentioned that he was planning on making homemade pizza this evening. He hadn't made one before, but was plan was to use pre-made bread dough for the crust (as recommended to him by some pizza-making friends).
That caused my mind to wander for a moment — oh, the possibilties of being able to customize the dough. Wheat-pizza was an obvious one, but what about something like using rye-bread dough to create a rye pizza? Hmm, a rye pizza topped with Italian sausage and Canadian bacon… ?
The others in the group seemed to conclude that rye-pizza was a gross idea (including even Bryan “chocolate chips with hot dogs” himself), but I wouldn’t mind trying one of those. Of course, I’m not even certain whether bread-dough is suitable for homemade pizza-making in the first place ;).
I’ve recently found an interest in both oatmeal and peanut butter. Can anyone recommend any recipes that use both ingredients?
I’m thinking that maybe something along the lines of peanut-butter oatmeal bars could be quite tasty :).
This month’s DFWBlogs Cocktail Event was at the Stoneleigh P. The GuideLive description specifically mentioned their “super burgers”, so I figured I’d try those.
Oddly enough, their menu advertises “No fries! No ketchup! No pickles!”. That impressed me a little bit, as their hamburgers would have to be very good to stand on their own like that. However, they weren’t.
Sans ketchup, sans pickles, it’s pretty much just meat on a bun (with some mayo). It was like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, only without the jelly. To be fair, my “Ranchero Deluxe” included chipotle mayonaise, but it was more like mayo with diced tomatoes — or, as Gary put it, the mayo closely resembled McDonald’s special sauce ;).
Per the menu, the Ranchero Deluxe was touted as an 8 oz burger. I know my 1/2 pound burgers, and this one didn’t seem to live up to that. I wouldn’t think they would lie on their menu, but it still didn’t seem to be a full half-pound.
Other than the hamburger debacle, I enjoyed the evening. They had Sam Adams on tap, and that’s always a good thing. And, the decor was delightfully kooky (including obsolete arcade games that no one played, as if they were around just for decoration).
