I’ve heard it’s better for drunkards to eat without burning the roof of their mouth.

Weak but valid excuse for lukewarm pizza.

Iirc, I saw some pizza shop in an upstate New York college town doing the cold cheese thing. It was on some travel channel show.

[tifosi77]

The only hot food for which I find it acceptable to add cold cheese with no expectation of the cheese melting into the sauce is the wonderfully nostalgic spaghetti from Jollibee.

It's a gap in reasoning, to be sure. But it is my gap.

Fingers crossed that it went out of business.

Cincinnati chili is delicious. I make it at home a couple times per year.

I put cold American cheese on a hot burger

You disgust me.

American cheese isn't actually cheese, so.....

[tifosi77]

I'll give the burger one a pass. The heat of the patty will warm the cheese and partially melt it. My understanding of this OVSP lunacy is that the dish is served at room temp, so the added cheese won't ever warm up.

How about cream cheese on a toasted bagel?

[Dickie Dunn]

Not a fan of half melted cream cheese.

This is all correct

I would at least try Skyline, but OVSP doesn't pique even my novelty interest at all.

[tifosi77]

I'm all about being willing to try anything once. But the simple fact is Skyline looks like diarrhea.

[dodint]

Well, the core concept is chili.

Had Milano Buffalo wings from pizza Milano today before the game. Great wing flavor.

[Dickie Dunn]

Did they taste like thin layer of chocolate sandwiched between two biscuit cookies?

If you go to milanos and get anything other than the buff chick hoagie, you're doing it wrong.

Now that I don't make coffee every morning, just on weekends, I've tried to up the quality a bit for our weekend pot of joe.

I've been back to regularly drinking coffee again for a while, also just on weekend mornings. I was thinking the same thing, about trying something a little better, so I grabbed a bag of Death Wish coffee at Wegman's.



This stuff is really good. Extremely dark and strong with no bitterness or nasty aftertaste at all, and it's got a good, noticeable caffeine kick.

My brother in law bought, and suggested pizza and wings. Though I do love the buff chicken hoagie.

I have a favorite Asian market in St. Paul that I like and I always go and grab some stuff to bring back. I picked up a case of duck flavored ramen. Finally got around to making some and noticed that it has 1580mg of sodium per every 210 calorie serving.

[tifosi77]

Those seasoning packets are almost all salt. Especially if you're bying a 'real' brand at an Asian place; might even have MSG in it.

Try using one of those to season a protein for grilling.

I have two multi-packs in the cupboard. One brand is a 100 g serving with1,920 mg of sodium. The other has a serving size of 117g and has 2,352 mg of sodium.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

I had some last night, I don't bother to look at the salt content.

[blackjack68]

I only use a part of the packet when make instant ramen.
