Wasa floats above the fray, like a crunchy grain-feather.
Wasa knows its own worth, which is unadulterated by the oil of the heathens.

Doesn't have to have rye, I believe. Comes in many varieties.
Wasa understands your needs and will indulge them.
Wasa only wants your love.

CT, your wisdom is unassailable. And your comments are haiku-like in their beauty. Wasa should hire you to write ad copy.

I was more amazed that mack doesn't like olives, or mushrooms. I love both.
Then again, she doesn't like mango, either.
Some people have no taste. Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :

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*
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
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.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Oh, mango. *twitch*
And some of us HAVE taste buds and would like to keep them intact. Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
CT, point me in the right direction and I'll try them.
Mango season is coming, want to come to my house?
::eyes mango tree in backyard:: Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
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.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
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.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Hmm. But I never HAD poison ivy.
Leaves of three, let them be
(CT, any way you could pop onto aim?)
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Ahhhhhahhhhhhahhhhh *shaking with pleasure
You have a mango tree in your backyard?
You can make your own sundried mango by leaving slices out in the sun, turning them when appropriate.
Wasa adores Ela, despite Ela's rejection of the crumbly humble cracker.
Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :
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.
Weird-o.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
mack, I'm at work which means no AIM. Actually, I should go check on some kids in a few minutes.
But I'm all about the mack these days. You are smokin'.

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.
quote: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.
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.
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
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.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
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

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.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
quote:Vegetables?

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".
Posted by jexx (Member # 3450) on :
Oh, mack, you are SO right.
*ducks*
CT, anytime spent with you is time well spent.
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.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
I guess I can see the fungus thing. But people get angry when you tell them that olives are a fruit? Weird.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Yes, Wasa loves all.
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. Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
{{{{{CT}}}}}
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.

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.

Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
My father was allergic to poison ivy, and to the sap, skin, and seeds of mangos, but he could eat the fruit with no problem.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
mack, thanks. You made it better.
Ela, that's the way it often works, I think. Makes eating mango off the skin likely to cause little blistery areas around the mouth, but if the skin is completely removed first, then no problem. Weird, huh? (I pieced this together when I first noticed recurrent perioral irritation in myself. A food diary helped me track down the culprit, and then I went on investigation. Since then, I've diagnosed it in a kid. Made me look very chi-chi smartypants. )
Off to work. Again, thanks for the cheerup. I needed a boost tonight.

My favorite cracker of all time is Ak Mak.

Elizabeth, I received the forwarded emails. Jimminy cricket, I'm so sorry I'd missed them. I will write a long update tonight. Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
No worries, just wondered.
I made hummus today. Could you put hummus on a Sun chip? I think not!
Incidentally, this reminds me of a taste combination I had by accident that seemed harmless, but which almost made me hurl. Do NOT try it!
A potato chip with onion dip, followed by immediately by a tortilla chip with guacamole. Ahhhhhhhh....
Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

Ritz is the best for tomato soup, period.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
There is a cracker which sends me back to Marcelyn's house when I was 5-8. She would serve them every time I popped in. Townhouse crackers. I can never have one without thinking of her.
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
YES to Sun Chips. Original or Harvest Cheddar. No onion, because of the allergies.
Posted by CT (Member # 8342) on :
Ak Mak stands up to hummus with panache. I've also had moments of love with a FinnCrisp and some white bean dip.
You know what would have made that even worse, Elizabeth? If the potato chip were a sour-cream-and-cheddar version. (tryittryittryit [/subliminal])
Jim-Me, it's okay. Ritz is good in a I'm-gonna-die-anyway kind of way. Slippery buttery trans-fat yumness. [Unfortunately, I really can't eat just one! I can eat just one Wasa, though. Wonder why that is?]

I have a very strong craving for Original Sun Chips now. Darn you, mack! *shakes fist*
Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :
An old friend of mine's brother is the inventor of Sun Chips. He worked for Frito Lays' R and D department and was tasked with finding snacks that would be inexpensive to make.
Well... he noticed that since all of the Fritos and Lay's potato chips (plus other savory snacks) used the same conveyor system in the plants and all dropped tons of crumbs into the clean catcher bins... Just take the crumbs, blend them well, process them into shapes and cook 'em... voila`, you've got a "multi-grain" snack food!
Instant product with no new costs. (Of course they are made with straight product now instead of the crumbs -- demand was too high for the crumbs alone to keep up with the need).
My friend's brother probably has a summer home bought from the Sun Chips bonus he got.
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
Sopwith, I've heard that's how they make Munchos. So, I doubt the truth of both claims and wonder if snopes has an article on them.

Well, PC -- both Munchos and Sun Chips are made by Frito-Lay. So I don't see why both can't use the same process...
