The longest thread ever

There was an ad years ago that called out a guy in a tan minivan, I think while he was at the gym. I think of that add whenever the word minivam comes up.

All of the above.

No mayo, no seafood.

No seafood?

Who are you???

[Bostondevil]

All of the above.

No mayo, no seafood.

Not even fried clams to top off a perfect day on the North Shore?

Mmmmm, fried clams. After a perfect day on the North Shore. Woodman's, or The Clam Box, or the Clam Bake, so many good options. Yum.

When headed to Woodman's the fried clams were always a side.

When I was a kid, the only seafood we had was the occasional Mrs. Paul fish sticks during Lent because PapaPK did not like seafood. Then some fried Calabash during beach weeks at Duke which was, well, just fried stuff. It was not until I went to Charleston on business at about age 30 that I actually had real seafood. Changed my world.

And then there was discovering sushi by just throwing some homemade tuna rolls down with wine before I could Think about it. Now, it's hard for me to think of much tummies than really good sashimi.

No mayo though.

When I was young, we would go visit my grandparents at their house in Los Angeles. Always on the list of things to do was go deep sea fishing. Dinner that night would be rice, vegetables cooked tempura style, and whatever we caught that day(sashimi).

Few things better than catching trout in the NC/SC/GA mountains, then eating them freshly cooked over a camp fire.

I'd rather have the eggplant parm at 5 North, IIRC. Best. Ever.

Oh yea, then what do you put on a turkey/cheese/tomato/lettuce sammich or a BLT then?

Nothing. I enjoy the flavors without a condiment. Put the BLT on pumpernickel bread and I'm even happier.

Last weekend - 96 mini cupcakes and 24 regular cupcakes baked and frosted.

This weekend - steamed and pureed a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, baked pumpkin bread and soft baked pumpkin cookies (with oatmeal and white chocolate chips and dried cranberries).

Next weekend - no baking planned.

Of course, the baking this weekend was not planned very far in advance.

I spent a couple weeks sailing from Seattle to Vancouver island with my uncle and aunt. We bought salad, bread, and wine. We caught lots of seafood.

The salmon my aunt turned into a pâté was sublime. The oysters, crabs, clams, etc, we gathered were awesome, too.

Btw, she's very French - her father had a vineyard, albeit table wine. She learned good cooking!

I enjoy the turkey sandwices after Thanksgiving. Two pieces of bread, some turkey, some mayonnaise, and some salt.

The World Series is going back to Cleveland.

Does Cleveland have a signature food item? You know, like a Philly cheese steak?

[sue71, esq]

I'm not really a condiments kind of girl although I will occasionally use a hint of mayo as "sandwich glue". I like a cold cut, a piece of cheese, and some lettuce on my sandwiches. That's usually enough.

But all in all, I'd mostly rather have soup.

This, minus the cheese. Add bacon.

Matzo ball soup beats all, though.

Not that I'm aware of.

Does this qualify?
