Doug R, can there be too much talk about food?

The lasagne sounds great.

[Ginny]

Egads!  I was looking in the cupboards for items for the "clear liquid" diet I'm going to be on Wednesday and found beef bouillon cubes that expired in 1993 and chicken bouillon cubes that expired in 1989.  Out they went - probably too high in sodium, anyway...

Sounds like my mom's kitchen.

Well, I was horrified, DR George, and will spend some time while Richard is recovering from his foot surgery cleaning out the kitchen cupboards!

[Jennifer]

What are tater tots?

[Jennifer]

I just googled tater tots.  I think we used to call them potato puffs.  But i have not had those in many years.

[ChasSmith]

It's very possible I have some bouillon cubes and a few other things in the "spice shelves" that are close to being that old.

There's been no word from our Dublin man Jonathan. I'm a little concerned.

DR Jane, no Callie won't get used to traveling.  I used to take her and Nilla with me when I went to the lake, until Nilla went crazy and I had to put him to sleep. She hates the car and will be upset that she's going, but it's better than being locked in a cube for days.

Have you ever used a very mild tranquilizer prior to traveling?  I've done that for a couple of our cats when we have moved.  It made a big difference.

The drive is only 2 hours, so I won't do it for that length of time

[Cillaliz]

DR Druxy, so sorry to hear about Missy.  Sounds like she had a long wonderful life. 

[Cillaliz]

My first batch of caramel corn for the 2012 holiday season is in the oven.  Heart-healthy?  Not in the least...

Oh but sooo good

Oh, my. It looks like a Garrison Keillor Lutheran Church Basement special! I would love to have that for dinner. Yummm

[Matthew]

My casserole is in the oven.  I'm not crazy about the preparation as it was a little weird and their didn't seem to be bacon (so I added more), we'll see in an hour or so how it turns out

[Jane]

I have had the beginning stage of a cold so long now it must be allergies.  I think asking about a cold before taking the prep is a good idea.  As I have a prescription for ZuPrep I'm curious about the answer.

For the same procedure?  When is yours?

Yup.  For Nov. 27th.  This will be my 3rd one, not too bad considering my dad had colon cancer. I have to take anti-nausea meds to keep the drink down.  This is a new one but I'm not taking any chances for I requested the extra meds.

[Jane]

I don't have a recipe but I would love a tater tot casserole for dinner. I don't eat TTs regularly since I left Minnesota 32 years ago.

Tater tot casserole!   What is that?

[Jane]

Off to a dress rehearsal.....I hope I have a dress.

Good luck!

[Jane]

This is what I found.   Tater Tot Recipe 

LOL This just sound awful to me.

[Jane]

How about: Take tater tots and crisp bacon ...

Anything is good after that, right? You could do a layered dish like a McDonald's breakfast sandwich with eggs on the bottom, bacon (or sausage) and tater tots instead of hash browns. Cover with melted cheese food, for those who have to have it.

Or just put tater tots on top of a green bean casserole instead of frenched onions or whatever those things are.

That sounds better but I prefer the original recipe, which I don't eat anymore as much as I like it.

LOL.  When Craig was living here he got rid of food he said I had when he was young.

[Jane]

Is it my imagination or does food get discussed a lot here 

[Jane]

What are tater tots?

Strange tasting small frozen potato things you fry.

Tater tots are deliciousness in my mouth!!

I don't get then often, but when I do I bake them....maybe I'll pick some up tomorrow. 

[Cillaliz]

Tater tot casserole is very common here. It's served at all sorts of church gatherings

[Jane]

It's not well known but Tater Tots are one of the five basic foods for optimum health.  Fried crunchy crisp, they're fantastic with omelettes or as a stand-alone meal alternative.  Be certain to try them with melted Velveeta cheese or the warm cream filling from a Hostess Twinky or two!

That statement is completely true because it is Keith's opinion, NOT mine.

[Jane]

I'll make it in the oven and try and use healthier ingredients.  Try....

Hmmm, then your potato puffs are different than ours.

Vibes you hear from him soon.
