sfladave Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 I like this thread. It is nice and warm here, the food is nice, and the questions aren't too hard. Wait, is this the Hotpocket thread, I was looking for the..... 379920[/snapback] ...currency exchange calculator?
stuckincincy Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 musta been a delay in the avatar change.creepy. now i have to wait until this thread is dead before i change back.. i only hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those "son of satan" hanger on threads! 379892[/snapback] ...understood. But no need to wait for avatar change. Delete it, clear the cache, put in a new one, refresh the site - it will show up soon. I don't know, but I think that the mods (correctly) do a screening of uploaded images before they are displayed. You can also log out, leave your browser, come back, which also cleans the avatar slate.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 This whole HotPocket craze is nothing new! In the UP of Michigan they eat a version. Be sure to eat a pasty while you are here. They are rich and hearty mixtures of potatoes and meat wrapped up in a thick pastry, optionally served with catsup or sauce. They were originally brought over to the Upper Peninsula from Cornwall by miners, but they've become identified with the entire region. My favorite pasties are the ones from Jean Kay's, near Northern Michigan University. Be sure to ask for the ones with rutabaga. Those lazy Yoopers! Look what they started! The Cornish pasty [is] one of the best examples in the world of what one might call functional food. For the Cornish pasty ... is not merely delicious food, it was designed for a certain quite definite purpose; it was designed to be carried to work and eaten in the hand, to be taken down the mine, to sea, to the fields. You will see a Cornishman munching his tasty pasty squatting in the narrow tin-mine workings, sitting on the nets in his leaping fishing boat, leaning against a grassy bank whilst the patient plough-horses wait.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 From the BF Cookbook "Dinner for Under a Buck." Preparation time: 2 hours, 77 minutes. 379904[/snapback] What do you season that with? Beet juice?
LabattBlue Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Don't forget the pickle juice. 379785[/snapback] Grabbed the pickle jar out of the fridge last night and started chuckling about the Retatta. I never would have guessed that a pickle jar would bring me laughter for the next 20 years or so.
stuckincincy Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 What do you season that with? Beet juice? 379995[/snapback] Likely not. Even beet juice has some reedeming quality. I'd guess additional of salt and some lipid or a synthtic clone of same. It's not like you will overpower a Hot Pocket with a certain piquancy or subtle flavor, ya know. But I will say, Hot Pockets are far from the rogue's gallery of zappable meals. If you can reasonably accomodate the salt content, and compensate otherwise for the fat, they are not total disasters. Er, IMO. OTOH, you can follow in my life footsteps, which brought me to tonight's supper: Pork 'n Beans, frozen green beans, cottage cheese, cheap canned peaches, non-seeded rye without spread, and at 10 PM, for a snack, an All-Bran Honey Bar and 1 stick of gum. No wonder I tend towards surly.. Poor stuck - starving AND missed the self-esteem movement

stuckincincy Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 What are you, a goat? 380027[/snapback] If goats consider barley as a treat, yes. My dietary wounds are self-inflicted, so I shut up and do what I have to do.
cåblelady Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Even beet juice has some reedeming quality. 380026[/snapback] Reminds me of a story........... When my Daddy was stationed in Germany during WWII they always had beets with their meal and the juice got into everything. After he got home after the war he could never eat another beet. Thanks for making me think of that......it was always one of my favorite stories. The other one was when he was trying to save a German solider (Dad was a Medic) and he was holding the soldier in his arms and a German sniper shot the guy right through the helmet. He was afraid he'd "talk" to my Dad. Never tried to shoot my Dad......thank God. Dad didn't talk about the war much.
ExWNYer Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 mmmm Hot Pocket and Ramen Noodles...now that is gourmet 379902[/snapback] Cripes, tater...that's like 50,000 grams of sodium. You must be a walking salt lick (uh oh...did I just type that out loud?).

You must be a walking salt lick (uh oh...did I just type that out loud?). 380255[/snapback] That would explain the deer congregating on his front lawn every night, staring at the house, waiting to see if he's going to come out the door.
rockpile Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Not until they come out with garbage plate hot pockets. I was in the area yesterday so I stopped in for a cheeseburger/red hot combo, with everything and heavy on the sauce.... with a diet pepsi! yum

By ordering the diet pepsi, all caloric intake from the garbage plate is neutralized.
EndZoneCrew Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Do Lean Pockets count? All the instant gratification with half the fat content. 379741[/snapback] NO....don't be a trader!!
Adam Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I liked the BBQ beef from last summer, but they dont make them anymore
