(2011-03-07) NS-RFC: And now for dessert...

Don't know. Thats why I'd want to try them and see what the total dessert
was like.

Grin, some of us are pretty adventurous this way. If it was an epic fail,
I'd just laugh and say 'nice try' *after* trying it out.

OH! I just remembered something from 1973, Spotsilvania I think was the
place. It's along the blue ridge mountains and a city built pretty much up
the side of a mountain. A nice little noshe made of marshmellow bits,
strawberries and fruit loops that you dipped into a sort of heavy thick
sweet cream. Rustically lovely just like the area. It's a bit like a rice
crispie marshmellow cake but with strawberries (so a little wetter) and
fruit loops. I thought it was perfect when I was 13!

Use them in the compost heap and grow basil next year with the compost.

But that's the shtick on the show "Chopped" on FoodTV. They give the
contestants some completely off the wall ingredient and expect them to
do something good with it. The better they think the contestant is the
worse the trick ingredient. By the time they reach the final round of
the all star series I figure they will give them a rock. I think it
makes the show hilarious. It is for entertainment as much as it is for
education after all. Here's a dumb ingredient, now go demonstrate some
technique on it that you haven't used since culinary school ...

When I potty trained my oldest son, I sprinkled a few Fruit Loops in the
toilet, just to give him a target to aim for. He soon became potty
trained and it only cost me about $1.98 for the box. I was left with
1/2 box that sat in the cupboard for a couple of months. I tried
feeding them to the birds, but they would not touch them.

And there is always somebody on the show who apparently has never
watched the show. They seem so offended with a crazy ingredient, or
worse a sub standard canned item or boxed item that is completely
beneath them.

I'd bet that raccoons, possums, or woodchucks will eat them.
The little fsckers love Twinkies. When we bait the trap with
Twinkies, we're confident of getting one of those three.
