Four Foods on Friday
February 15th, 2008Here’s my entry for this week’s Four Foods on Friday from Val’s meme. If you want to participate check out the entry FFoF #17 and answer the questions and leave your link.
#1. What’s your favorite potato chip?
I’m a big fan of Pringles chips, particularly the BBQ flavor. Although I recently discovered a Mesquite Barbecue flavor from FritoLay Stax which is pretty nice. Before we emigrated my favorite was Salt n’ Vinegar Discos.
#2. Do you use butter, margarine, both or neither?
I use Smart Balance which is a margarine substitute.
#3. What’s your favorite mixed alcoholic (or virgin) drink?
My favorite has to be the White Russian, made with the fermented potato juice I mentioned last week. Vodka, and Kalhua and milk, poured over ice. I used to be a big fan of Absolut vodka, but my husband found Svedka vodka a few months ago and we’ve been getting that since. I like to make them frozen too by using vanilla frozen yoghurt instead of milk and mixing them in the blender.
#4. What’s your favorite vegetable and how do you prepare it?
Corn on the cob. I really like to steam it in the microwave. There are packs you can get from Birds Eye that you just nuke for six minutes and they come out perfect. I like to do Asparagus the same way.

I like the mesquite chips, too. Yummy!
You’re a lazy cook. I think it’s because you’re too busy living life & dare not waste time in the kitchen. I can respect that!

I love Bird’s Eye. They make individual servings of veggies now that you just microwave for a minute or two. They are fantastic.

I love using crushed pringles when making anything breaded!

I can sit and eat an entire can of Pringles all by myself, very dangerous!

If I can short-cut I will. If I spend too long in the kitchen the munchkin destroys the house!

Oh, yes, I’ve seen those. I get the brussel sprout ones of those because I’m the only one in the house who likes brussel sprouts.

Oooh! I hadn’t thought of using crushed pringles like that. I’ll have to try that next time I do something like that. It sounds really yummy.

Oooh, yes, me too. I had to stop getting them for a while because I would do that. Now if I do get them I get Pringles out of the can and hide the can back in the kitchen and only eat what I get out.
