New taste in bread today, garlic roasted bread!

I love garlic and bread. I had "pan e aglia" at a restaurant, it was toast that comes with a head of roasted garlic, sliced in half so you can scoop out each mushy clove and spread it on the toast. Very delicious. Keeps away vampires.

(That's how I knew my date was a vampire).

That's a smart business move, IMO. They know that the mass will still purchase their product(s) even though they've changed the "terms". We can only expect others to follow the same business venture in due time. It sucks for us, but rakes in more profits for them. I'd do the same if I were a business owner.

So LV is selling clothes with less pockets, shorter sleeves, missing linings?

That's cool, I wish I could find a durian around here, but alas there's none to be had.

Which movie did Jackie Chan fall into an open train car full of durians? I think it was Police Story? My memory modules is worn out.

What the hell is a durian?

It is called the King of Fruits because of its exquisite taste. But it can also be very stinky. An interesting contrast.

It is like a spiky football. So when Jackie Chan fell into a big bunch of them, he was going, "Ow, ow ow ow ..." Ha ha, poor Jackie, spiked by durians.

I think I'll take a pass.

Someone once told me, "if it stinks don't eat it..."

No way!

You mean, no:

garlic
stinky tofu
bleu cheese
chinese-style salted fish
dried cuttlefish
and all those wonderful other stinky foods?

Gack.

Of those listed, garlic is the only one that doesn't stink, IMO.

For me:

garlic - YES!
stinky tofu - No, had some and the smell stayed with me for a while
bleu cheese - OK
chinese-style salted fish - Hmm, I don't think I ever had this
dried cuttlefish - I like it, but my wife doesn't like to see me eat this

Garlic mashed potatoes at The Cheesecake Factory..... Yum.

which one do you go to...the one on north harbor drive in redondo...it's not that it's just yum...they give you a bucket with your entree.

yum is great except it usually equals a million calories.

Yeah, it's best not to schedule a meeting after eating those puppies.

You need to convince her to eat some herself so she won't notice it so much.

Yeah, that would...help...I guess.

She'll eat calamari: if it's breaded, deep-fried, and with sauce.

So would I.

Do you guys consider kimchi stinky? It certainly is when you burp afterward. mmmm spicy.

Please list more stinky foods so I can daydream about them.

Gosh... where'd I have that good stinky tofu... I think it was at Spices on 6th or 8th & Clement in SF.

Had an Orange Dream Machine from Jamba Juice and a sourdough bagel with ham & egg & jack cheese for breakfast.
