I also like Cards Against Humanity, like jeffred. It's a bit wicked/offensive but it really lets you know what kind of people your friends are!

Poached over sliced avocado on brown rice with a splash of soy sauce.

We made our own wedding cake, which was a carrot cake with goat cheese frosting, but we made the top layer gluten free for my husband's father. The layers were all on separate plates on a plate stand instead of touching, for ease of slicing and to prevent contamination of the GF cake. We just used a gluten-free flour mix from a box and used the same recipe as our regular cake, and people ended up liking the GF cake better. I'd definitely recommend a test cake.

The flour we used: http://www.glutino.com/our-products/gluten-free-pantry/beths-all-purpose-gf-baking-flour-us/

Boxed mac & cheese and top/nissin ramen. I'm a vegetarian and try to shop organic and local, but sometimes I need that comfort food.

Goya makes a product called "Sabor de Jamon" which next to the Sazon and Salad seasonings and Adobo that they make. Adds a great smoky flavor with just one packet and is vegetarian and quite inexpensive. I always add it to pressure cooked beans and split pea soup.

I'm curious about where you get them as well. If you can't find them though, they kind of look like the faux chicken strip "Meal Starters" by Morningstar.

Cambria, thank you for changing it, I very much appreciate it and I'm sure you meant no offense. The article was lovely and I will definitely be trying this in the future.

To the people who think it's silly to be offended, I'm sure you wouldn't say that to the face of a domestic abuse survivor who had been brutally beaten by their husbands. Some of these survivors happen to be my close friends and it's just a needlessly violent term. I'm sure you don't believe that there's no other term for a men's undershirt? What do you think they call them in fancy menswear stores?

Thanks Anjali and Illopro! I was thinking olives or capers as well, or preserved lemons if I ever get around to making them.

I also have the Artisan Bread recipe memorized. I only make the half batch, though (6.5 versus 11 cups of flour, since we're only a two-person household). And the half batch is easily third-able for a quick baguette to go with cheese!

If you have friends "who appreciate exclusivity and only imbibe the best", then they won't drink Absolut.

Also, whiskey stones don't keep whiskey cool longer than actual ice, because they barely cool it at all and the effect is quite short lived. Their purpose is to not dilute the whiskey.
