    Is "smushed" an actual cooking term in the UK? Because I like it! :D

    I think ALL men fall into that categorization :D
    Hubby detests mushrooms, but loves cream of mushroom soup
    Luckily (for him!) he doesn't automatically dismiss foods he's unsure of, regardless of ingredients, he gives it all a taste first.

    Mine hates mushrooms as well. To the point that we can't even get half / half pizza (because no bacon can touch my half, and no mushrooms can touch his. ) We always have to get our own separate medium pizzas. :p

    Ok, that's just too funny :D

    Hey UWK - does Trader Joes still sell the fresh squeezed orange juice?

    It was one of our staples when I lived in Ca! Darn good OJ!

    smish smoosh smash smosh smush

    There, now you have lots of words to use that mean basically the same thing, Shanette. :D

    I love mushrooms. I used to cook with ground beef, but not anymore. In fact, I really don't eat much beef at all anymore. It's mostly pork, chicken, fish, or shrimp these days. Most recipes that call for beef, I'll substitute chicken. I'm very picky about the meat I purchase now too, because I've noticed that some companies add salt to their meat, and because I don't cook with salt, I can actually taste the salt they add and I don't like it. :/

    That might vary from store to store; not sure they have it where we are. :-/

    Where we're at, they have a "fresh grind the coffee beans" machine. So at least it's something to do with breakfast liquids, I guess. ;->

    I detest mushrooms...though strangely enough, I don't mind tree fungus and such too much. I wondered about that (fortunately, Da Hubby is my garbage disposal, and likes the things) and did a little research, and it seems that perhaps one of their "active ingredients" (and here I thought they were just sponges) for helping things with flavor is that the varieties that grow from the ground seem to have a sort of natural MSG, and I'm sensitive to that. So, it could be my body saying, "Hey, stupid! Don't eat that, you won't like it!"

    And we've always gotten separate pizzas for desktop gaming, since we all have our hates/loves/can't eat situations (one of the gamers is majorly sensitive to anything in the Capsicum genus, including bell peppers; would wipe her out for any more gaming that weekend). Fortunately, the pizza joint has good deals on multiples. ;->

    I'm starting to think the word is out that I like cupcakes. :D

    You are the Cupcake! [IMG]

    Ohh, those look cool! Are they from a specific shop, or just a generic Google image (or did you make 'em?)? :D

    ROFL! Cute! I can feel my E-numbers going through the roof just looking at them! :D

    who learned that term from Doctor Who... 'E-numbers! You're hyper enough as it is!' --in reference to #11 pawing through a "loot chest" full of marshmallows ('Where are the pink ones?!')

    Ignore the edges around that cupcake. Pretend it is just some of the frosting that fell on the table before I put the cupcake down. (I actually just lassoe'd the background very quickly in an attempt to get rid of it, lol). :D

    I have been so tired lately and seem to have very little motivation. Between school and this exhaustive state I am in, I've not really been very social, so I will ask you all to excuse me as I go through whatever this is that I'm going through atm. School is going great, so I know it doesn't have anything to do with that. I made the Dean's list both my first and second semester. I'm sure it has something to do with my autoimmune disease, and I'll feel better soon enough and bounce back again. I'm just taking things in stride for the moment, and happy that our Niboota project is almost fully complete.
