As if Suddenly SALAD can be enhanced. I mean it's Sudden and it's SALAD, what more could anybody want?Quote:

I tend to agree, but it is good for you. I mix caulifower in with potatoes before I mash them. Reduces over all calorie count of mashed potatoes without changing the flavor.Quote:

I don't know how they do it but my French family makes a meanly delicious Cauliflower with cream.
I have never attempted it, I get most of my vegies as crudites (raw). I think people would like it better if the raw food diet was called the crudite diet.
Mrs B. and I were discussing this (yes, really) and we decided that Suddenly SALAD is like the stalker of prefabricated side-dishes: you're not expecting it; you open the front door; BOOM!—There it is. All of a Sudden.Quote:

To be honest, in the cold light of day, Suddenly SALAD is kind of lurid, but not that intriguing. Proof:Quote:

What's really intriguing are the weird store brands they have at Hy-Vee. Like this:

PANBURGER???? What is this Panburger? Where are you shopping? I feel like I've been sucked into some scary vortex of boxed meals. Make it stop!
Doesn't Panburger Partner sound like Hamburger Helper said with some crazy speech impediment?Quote:

I win! Bwaahahahahah!Quote:

My sister sometimes picks up food items at Big Lots. She's gotten some great weird stuff, like the Trix cereal with all the writing on the box done in Hebrew.
Also, the Hebrew Trix were never placed in a Tom Bihn bag. I wish I had saved the box so I could take a picture now. That would have been even cooler than the Suddenly SALAD in a Synapse - a feat few mortals can achieve.
Well, you wouldn't want to use cheese. Velveeta, maybe. Or the Hy-Vee knockoff.Quote:

Run
Away!
Katy, can you call me and let me know when it's safe to return to the forums?
going over to Ravelry where I hope to be safe
I think Hyvee, Dollar Tree and other deep discount places are great if you have to get party junk food because the generics are made at the same factories as the brand name.
The same is true for party stuff, especially disposible ones, which usefulness I didn't understand until I attended a 2 years old birthday party which included many nursery school buddies.
It was a shock.
You know ... I am thinking that where this thread has headed is as a result of the TB Anticipation Syndrome! Plus, it's making me hungry!
Someone please help me!
I have BAS (Bihn Acquisition Syndrome)!!
