Calling all lurkers / newbies! :)
I was thinking about the previous post where we were wondering where some of the former members went. I realized there might be readers / lurkers / newbies who just haven't come on to post yet (or even just haven't posted lately).
If anyone is here but not posting today, let's get this party started! 
1. What are you up to today?
2. What's your favorite thing you've eaten lately (homemade or at a restaurant, doesn't matter!)
3. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
4. Anything you haven't cooked or baked yet but want to someday?
5. Ask everyone a question of your choice - cooking related or not!
Re: Calling all lurkers / newbies! :)
I am a frequent lurker but only posted a few times here and there.
1. What are you up to today? It is the first day of a week off from work. My car is getting fixed so we are just hanging out at home. Right now I am snuggling with my baby as she is napping.
2. What's your favorite thing you've eaten lately (homemade or at a restaurant, doesn't matter!) Probably homemade ice cream.
3. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be? a doner kebab. We haven't been able to find them here in the US unfortunately.
4. Anything you haven't cooked or baked yet but want to someday? I want to bake bread too. Not really cooking but I want to can this summer.
5. Ask everyone a question of your choice - cooking related or not! What is your worst cooking disaster?
My favorite ice cream flavor is Breyers mint chocolate chip.
What's a doner kebab?
My worse cooking disaster... I put pork chops from the farmer's market into the microwave to defrost them. It looked like they were just wrapped in plastic wrap. Little did I know there was a (partially metal) twisty tie in there! Definitely started a small fire in the microwave. OOPS!
The closest thing I can compare it to is a gyro but they are much better than that. There are doner kebab places all over Europe especially in the part of Germany my husband lived in.
Too funny I have never heard anyone but my husband talk about these. He was stationed in Germany while in the service and talks all the time about how wishes he could get them here.
My husband talked about them all the time too. When we went to his friends wedding 4 years ago we had 3 of them while there :-) Do you know where he was stationed? My husband was in the Air Force.
No I don't remember where he told me he was stationed while there. He was in the Army.
1. What are you up to today? laundry and going to dinner later with an old friend.
2. What's your favorite thing you've eaten lately (homemade or at a restaurant, doesn't matter!) I made homemade meatballs and sauce for spaghetti Monday night, it was sooo good!!!
3. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be? a peanut butter sundae with banana wheels from our local ice cream place!
4. Anything you haven't cooked or baked yet but want to someday? I would love to make my own crepes one day soon!
5. Ask everyone a question of your choice - cooking related or not!
What are you doing this weekend??
And my favorite ice cream flavor is Ben and Jerry's chubby hubby!
Hello! This is my first day lurking around the boards :P
1. What are you up to today? Made a pot of homemade sauce for the fridge to heat up during the week and I'm doing some laundry
2. What's your favorite thing you've eaten lately (homemade or at a restaurant, doesn't matter!) Italian cheesecake yesterday at my favorite local italian restaurant
3. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be? fettuccine alfredo (I wanted that last night at dinner but decided not to have it because it's not exactly healthy)
4. Anything you haven't cooked or baked yet but want to someday? I would like to learn how to make my own fresh pasta. Wow I definitely have italian food on the brain tonight lol
5. Ask everyone a question of your choice - cooking related or not!
