I don't mean to be insulting but did you really write creamed chipped beef on toast? Do you know that the US military universally calls that shit on a shingle? I realize some people like it but once one knows what it is called, I think it makes it a little more difficult to do so.

 

Best regards,

KMEM

 

I believe it asked for a "guilty" pleasure, did it not? As another poster mentioned, Stouffer's makes a good frozen variety and my homemade recipe is even better. When placed on a nice slice of toast made from fresh rosemary bread it is quite good. Try it someday.

So far, no one has topped my Vienna sausage sandwich, so to speak.

I have to admit, KMEN, that I too am guilty of liking this in my younger years as my parents often served it (both parents were veterans), and it was always found in our freezer for too many nights when no one thought ahead to plan a meal. It is the same as people from PA confessing they enjoy eating SCRAPPLE (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). or even more strange was my Dad's preference to often have Welsh Rarebit on Toast (which I also liked, a sort of mac and cheese without all the mac).

 

Of course, today, after being badgered for 2 decades about "healthy" this and that, these are secret cravings that I rarely - if ever can satisfy anymore.

[KMEM]

azdr, rvwnsd and adriano-

 

As originally stated I did not intend to insult anyone and I fully realize that there are different foods out there and somebody likes every one of them:) I am sure the "worst' thing about this dish is the nickname for it.

 

Best regards,

KMEM

How could I have forgotten scrapple?! With a fried egg on top, a delicious breakfast. Un-fortunately, I have never seen it in a supermarket outside eastern Pennsylvania.

Waiting for paint to dry...

 

1. Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon?

 

Yes. And, once, I drove through it in a convertible completely stoned. Much fun.

 

2. You've won a cash prize. Would you rather have $10,000 in a lump sum or $1,000 a month for a year?

 

I'm not an instant gratification kind of guy. Several lovers have said I make a great lover because I long to savor the special moments. It's a well known fact, the more money you receive at one time, the faster you will spend it. I don't view $10,000 as a lot of money, so I don't see much harm in receiving it whole. But if I won the lottery (which I've never played), I'd opt for monthly checks and stipulate my son as beneficiary in my will.

 

3. Do you have a PC or a Mac?

 

Both my office and my home are cross platform. All product development is done on a Mac and then tested on a PC.

 

4. If you were offered $10 million to go into exile and never return to the U.S., would you? And where would you go to live if yes?

 

If part of the agreement included citizenship (I have no desire to ever stop working since I love what I do and can do it anywhere), I'd be quite content to live in Italy and/or France. As long as I'm older when I go, 10 mil (plus the money I currently have) should be just fine.

 

5. What's your favorite musical act (solo or group)?

 

I know too many professional musicians personally to answer this question fairly. I will say, of all the pop acts I've seen live, Celine Dion's performances have been consistently the most exhilarating for me. Second to Celine, Luther Vandross.

 

6. Have you ever had sex with a guy in his office or your office?

 

Many times.

 

7. Are you going to see the new Dark Shadows movie?

 

It's gotten good reviews, and I love Eva Green. I hear she makes the movie worthwhile. Probably won't see it in a theater, but will see it in the comfort of my home.

 

8. Surf or turf?

 

Love it all.

 

9. Have you ever been to Indiana?

 

Many times.

 

10. What's your guilty pleasure meal/snack?

 

Fresh foie gras. Artisan chocolate ice cream. Home-made chocolate-ship cookies made with Callebaut chips.

3. Do you have a PC or a Mac?

- PC

4. If you were offered $10 million to go into exile and never return to the U.S., would you? And where would you go to live if yes?

How could I have forgotten scrapple?! With a fried egg on top, a delicious breakfast. Un-fortunately, I have never seen it in a supermarket outside eastern Pennsylvania.

 

I've seen it in a specialty grocer in northern California. Frozen, not fresh.

[jgoo]

1. Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon?

- No. Maybe/hopefully one day.

 

2. You've won a cash prize. Would you rather have $10,000 in a lump sum or $1,000 a month for a year?

- Not a huge difference between the two so I would probably take the lump sum and go on a great vacation somewhere, first class all the way.

 

3. Do you have a PC or a Mac?

- PC

 

4. If you were offered $10 million to go into exile and never return to the U.S., would you? And where would you go to live if yes?

- Sure, I can be happy most anywhere I hang my hat and can hire escorts. Love London so maybe there, or somewhere in Ireland or some tropical island. It would be a fun process to find some place.

 

5. What's your favorite musical act (solo or group)?

- Moody Blues

 

6. Have you ever had sex with a guy in his office or your office?

- Nope

 

7. Are you going to see the new Dark Shadows movie?

- I'll probably see it eventually when it comes out on DVD or Demand TV but won't rush out to the theater to see it.

 

8. Surf or turf?

- Really love both. If I had to choose one, I would say turf.

 

9. Have you ever been to Indiana?

- Never. Is there anything interesting to see there?

 

10. What's your guilty pleasure meal/snack?

- Toss up between smoked oysters and fois gras.

4. If you were offered $10 million to go into exile and never return to the U.S., would you? And where would you go to live if yes? Nope, wouldn't do it. No place I'd rather be.

 

5. What's your favorite musical act (solo or group)? Being an opera guy, it would have been anything with Leontyne Price. Currently, probably Joyce DiDonato. Non-opera, I'd love to go to Philly and see Idina Menzel with the Philly Sympony next month.

 

6. Have you ever had sex with a guy in his office or your office? Nope, never have.

 

7. Are you going to see the new Dark Shadows movie? Probably not. I wasn't a huge fan of the show and I'm not a huge Johnny Depp fan either.

 

8. Surf or turf? Surf

 

9. Have you ever been to Indiana? I spent a week in Indiana one night. Actually been just once for a day or two.

 

10. What's your guilty pleasure meal/snack? A pint of HaganDazs chocolate ice cream.

[bootdad]

YES - including a helicopter tour and have flown over the GC dozens of times and still take a moment to ponder the overwhelming scale and beauty of it all every time I do it ... probably no less than 50 times and once again on Thursday - and so welcome the thrill of it ! Second only to flying a few hundred feet over the highest peaks of the Canada Rockies.

 

2. You've won a cash prize. Would you rather have $10,000 in a lump sum or $1,000 a month for a year?

lump sum - you can't even get a decent weekend away for $1K anymore!

On my 12th Apple / MAC device and still have the first one I bought in 1985 sitting on a shelf in my library - wrote my first book on it and recognized the world had changed forever - LOL !

 

4. If you were offered $10 million to go into exile and never return to the U.S., would you? And where would you go to live if yes?

I am lucky to live in one of the safest and greatest cities in the world - Toronto - and also lucky enough to have worked in or traveled to more than 50 other significant cities around the world - given the current economic crisis I would be hard pressed to feel comfortable buying property and living in Spain, Italy, Croatia or Greece ??? HMMMMMMM - this is a tough one ??? And London is a fantastic gateway to so much of Europe but just to damn expensive to live in !

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks and Veedon Fleece - still magical after what ... almost 4 decades since being released ?

 

6. Have you ever had sex with a guy in his office or your office?

2. You've won a cash prize. Would you rather have $10,000 in a lump sum or $1,000 a month for a year? Lump sum and I'd put it on black. Just kidding, monthly installments -- two grand doesn't grow on trees!

Toronto, where I spent part of my childhood and where I have lots of family, seems like a cop-out kind of answer because I wouldn't be sacrificing much. All the rest of my family and friends in the US could visit me so easily. Outside of North America? $10 million is a heckuva lotta money, so yes.

6. Have you ever had sex with a guy in his office or your office? No, and no interest in doing so.

4. If you were offered $10 million to go into exile and never return to the U.S., would you? And where would you go to live if yes? Yes. Where--Somewhere warm and tropical. Perhaps Belize or Costa Rica
