YES in bursts, but you can't eat too many in a single sitting. I don't know why - you just can't.

Does wasa also require a full donation of all wordly possessions in order to advance to the next world of its cult?

So, um...what exactly are we doing on wasa?
And Jon Boy, it's an argument I had with my mother every two weeks when growing up.
Me. "Mom, what's for dinner?"
Mom. "Lasagna."
Me. "So what am I going to eat?"
Mom. "Why?"
Me. "I hate lasagna."
Mom. "But you LOVE lasagna."
Me. "Mom, we had the same talk to two weeks ago."
A couple months ago, my sister and I had a late lunch at Olive Garden. She orders lasagna.
I say, "Oh, gross."
Sister. "But you LOVE lasagna!"
I think it's the combination of how the noodles on the top can be crunchy or chewy, and the ricotta cheese. *twitch*

Ela, girl, you have to try organic dried mango slices (if you haven't). No added sugars, just the sunburst of orange sweetness on your tongue -- but no stickies. Very yum.

Are you sensitive to poison ivy, mack? Mango is of the same family, and some people who are highly allergic to poison ivy have a strong oral aversion to mango.

Noodles on top? The noodles should be in the middle so that they don't get all crunchy! And actually, my recipe uses cottage cheese, not ricotta. I don't like ricotta that much.
But at least the Wasa loves me.

CT--that's interesting about mango. I wonder if I am allergic to poison ivy. I shall not, however, self-test.
mack left out one thing that she said she didn't like, that proves she is downright wrongheaded. She does not like pears. PEARS! One of the least offensive of the fruits.

I like my lasagna to have olives and mushrooms, and, if given the chance, I like to dip my sun chips in the filling. However, I've only been given the chance once, and at that time, the said vegetables were sadly absent from the lasagna.

YES! Those are the best, but, as I can only find them in the local health food stores, they're way too expensive to have on a regular basis.

I don't like pears, either. I think it's because my sister used to swim in pear-scented bath products. I also do not like mushrooms. I'm allergic to them, anyway. Black olives are acceptable only on pizza and sub sandwiches, and even then I pick most of them off.

I hated pears until I had fresh ripe ones. As a child, my only contact with pears had been in canned fruit cocktail, which contains white mealy lumps with the horridest texture I can imagine.
However, a fresh juicy Bartlett can be positively silken.
(Wasa likes pears, too. On the side, sliced, without any watery juice to decrispify the Wasa, of course.)

Vegetables?
Olive = fruit Mushroom = fungus
quote:JonBoy, I make lasagne with cottage cheese, too. And no crunchy noodles in my lasagne.
*puts Ela on the cool list*

Ah, mack, I'm a wee bit on the sensitive side these days. (Not enough to start a Hatrack thread, to Slash's everlasting thanks, I'm sure.) But my good friend and colleague has been giving me the verbal equivalent of the finger quite frequently, and it's made me get kind of prickly.
Having friends, family, and now myself, involved in the pizza-making business for 10+ years has given me a pizza-based brain. Don't try to change it. It's no use. People just aren't interested on having 'fungi' on their pizzas, and they get angry if, when they ask what fruits we have, I say "pineapple and olives".

Some folks (like your coworker with the invisible middle finger upraised constantly towards you) just love to be miserable. You are not one of those folks, thank goodness.
Whatever it is, wasa understands and accepts you. Had to throw wasa in there somewhere!
Also: I enjoy my lasagne with crunchy bits, so there! And definitely prefer it with cottage cheese.

I guess I can see the fungus thing. But people get angry when you tell them that olives are a fruit? Weird.

I'm trying to remember that this is a tough time for her and that she feels put on the defensive from so many people in her life that pre-emptive attack becomes natural. I still am pro-Melanie, and I always will be, but I don't feel like being emotionally vulnerable around her right now.
It'll pass. We have a history of feeling our way through these things. Posts: 14017 | Registered: May 2000

That's not for the wasa. That's for the site. I've been looking for the name of the German bread I used to eat while I lived over there when I was a child. I still remember the taste, but I couldn't find the name of it. (My family was no help. No one could remember it.) That bauernbrot bread looks like it could be pretty close. I think the bread may have been darker, but the description is very close. My search is narrowing down. (Oh, and just in case, I know it's not pumpernickel.)
Love dried mango slices, btw. Indeed very yummy. I also like mango sorbet.
As for the sun chips, I like them in small doses when a craving arises. I am not a big chip eater, potato or otherwise.

(Of course, I forgot to mention I like thin Kavli, which is also rye cardboard, but less work to chew. )

Whoa! I didn't know there was a relation between mangos and poison ivy!! I acquired a passion for mangos in the Philippines. I buy them when I can here in the states, but its just not the same.
