If you like Reese's Cups... you will drool for that pie.
It's nothing like Peanut Butter. It's hazelnut and chocolate. Only, the chocolate is really cheap shitty chocolate and you can hardly taste the hazelnut. I seriously don't understand how everyone is okay with pretending it tastes good. It just tastes like shitty chocolate. And then you smear it on bread.
It always reminds me of canned frosting, but a little better. I love Nutella with pretzels.
-Maple glazed roasted baby carrots
-Asparagus fried in bacon fat
-Green beans sautéed in butter, then lightly salted to taste at the table
-Roasted ears of corn (with butter and salt, of course)
-Also, I know a recipe for glazed sweet potatoes which is absolutely fantastic (and easy!)
That right there should give you a really good start.

Considering they go rid of the button, I'm gonna have to do this the old fashioned way.
Really? Really?!
I had a craving for Five Guys last night, which I hadn't had in a month. But I also had a craving for Orange Julius, which I hadn't had in years thanks to having one of the only malls in America without one. Thanks, DQ, for finally integrating them into the regular DQ stores.
Anyway, clock is ticking, gotta decide... so I order Vocelli's Pizza and grab a Julius while waiting for the delivery. Go me.

Agree 100%. I don't understand the appeal. I love chocolate almond butter, though.
This is about breakfast instead of dinner. I made french toast using apple fritter bread I found at Target (their Archer's Farm brand). Holy cow it was so good! It has pieces of apple in it and just enough cinnamon that I barely had to add any to my egg mixture. Nom nom nom!
The one with no raisins (just raisin juice for flavor).
Challah is also good.

I've made it with cinnamon raisin bread, too. I've also used flavored coffee creamer in the egg mix. Pumpkin Spice was an interesting change.
Jus gonna say you made me decide to try five guys again. I'm very upset at you. Even their fries weren't well seasoned like the last time I had them. I really don't get the hype.
Poutine was disappointing, apparently this place forgot how to make it since the last time I ate there 3 months ago. Barely any gravy, is was just shittily cooked fries and half hard cheese curds.
And they raised the prices on beer again.
Fuck Metro.
Time to visit the homeland IMO.
Me either. I had 5 Guys once when we were in CA. The fries were so greasy that the bag they were in was practically see-through. The burger was ok. I'd rather have Carl's Jr if I'm going to have a fast food burger.
This was my impression as well. I could get a bigger, better burger + fries + hand made onion rings for the same price at my local place, George's All American Grill, and it wouldn't feel like I was eating in a converted barn.
There we go again with people who happen to not like the same places/food other people like and have to devalue their likes. This is NOT what this thread is for. Shame on you for posting like this.
You don't like Nutella? That's fine.... just don't tell me you "don't understand the hype" and denigrate my interests. I like it, you either recommend me something else I should try or keep it to yourself. I love Nutella and it goes far beyond the food itself, it reminds me of fond memories of my childhood about my year living in Italy going over to my nonno's home and having him prepare for me a few slices of bread with Nutella on it.
Don't like Five Guys? That's fine... just don't judge the food quality you got where you live as quality control wasn't up to speed compared to other The Five Guys establishments. For example, the Five Guys near my house have one of my favorite burgers with great quality meat and fresh ingredients/condiments and their fries are not greasy at all and have the right amount of seasoning that both my wife and I absolutely love. Not every Five Guys place serve sloppy seconds and shitty fries.
"I don't understand the hype"
Seriously, fuck off.

Coming from the guy who shits on anyone claiming to like poutine outside of Quebec, this is funny. I mean, I said I don't understand people liking x (With a bit of attitude, sure, but in the end, that's all I said). You actually tell people they're wrong for liking y.
Also my dinner for tonight is reheated tofu pad thai. Delicious.
No, this is what happened with your post.
Jay : "Let's contribute to the dinner thread with some pictures of my meal like a good hobo."
You : "Nutella? That's shitty chocolate. I don't understand how people can pretend that even tastes good. /denigrate"
Other posters : "BANDWAGON TIME! Let's hate on everything other people like and stop all contributions to the thread!"
I call you out on it. Within minutes a mod not doing his job clicks like on your answer to me when I specifically told you (amongst others) to stop denigrating other people's posts about their interest. /facepalm
As far as the poutine example goes, sorry but I will always claim Quebec poutine is the best simply because it is..... just like most Italian meals are amazing when in Italy, Greek food while in Greece, Asian food in their respective cuisines... etc.
I never ever told them, "I don't understand why you even like poutine."
There's a difference. Learn it.

Eh, it's just a thing people say. If you choose to take it as a devaluing, that's a choice you control, not me. I'm saying I don't get it because I truly was surprised. The way people talk about it, I was expecting it to be the closest thing to a religious experience you can get with a spread. Some things really are hyped in a crazy way, and you just don't get it. Everyone has obsessions that some people don't get, but they're not saying it to hurt your tender feewings.
As for Five Guys... I wish we had one here.

Oh man... Gotta make that soon.My mom made chicken parm.
No, this is what happened with my post. Edited for accuracy.
As for the poutine, there is a difference, but saying "Quebec poutine is the best" and saying "There is no point in trying poutine that is not from Quebec. There is no good poutine anywhere else in the world, and you are wrong for even suggesting that you find poutine outside of Quebec enjoyable." is also a difference. Anyway, the point is moot.
I will apologize right here and now, for the supreme lack of tact I showed in criticizing nutella, particularly seeing as you had just posted a picture of nutella cheesecake that you were clearly very proud of, and I'm sure, if one likes nutella, was delicious. It was rather rude of me. In fact I seem to remember I gave someone shit for almost the exact same thing not too long ago, so you'd think I'd be more tactful. I guess we are all capable of hypocrisy. I am sorry for that. But, I do feel like this was still blown way out of proportion. If you really feel this strongly about the whole thing and wish to continue this feel free to PM me, so that we are not derailing the thread further. But honestly, I have no interest in continuing this discussion. It was a throwaway comment to me that had a much bigger impact on you and I should have realized how rude it was. End of story as I'm concerned.
