There is a huge greek community in Schenectady, NY. A couple weekends ago they had a greek festival. Best greek food ever and the deserts were to DIE for.

Baklavah, and a bunch of other things I don't have names for.

It's at a theater in Mazza Gallery in NW DC.

I'm also addicted to movie theater hotdogs. And airport hotdogs (except for in Chicago coz their hotdogs are weird).

I make weird foods. The other day i was in an odd state of mind, and mixed flour with water, salt,and dried basil, then fried chunks flattened with a little olive oil...it was good.

Tira Misu and/or Sacher Torte.....gobs of carbs of every kind must be kept in a lock box.

Trilby · 09-28-2005, 09:17 AM

Yeah, but 7-UP with Splenda is really, really GOOOOOOD. Better than regular 7-UP.

Sundae · 09-29-2005, 09:18 AM

My true addiction - with cravings & all - is ice cold Lucozade first thing in the morning. And I mean so cold that the top is slushy and your throat almost closes up in self defence. I just love feeling the chill all the way down......

Its my hangover cure, my pick me up and my breakfast substitute.

But just about everything I eat at the moment falls into the category of "Once I start I'll carry on until its all gone", which is why a health kick beckons. And my beloved Lucozade will be replaced by fruit. Tcha.

Trilby · 09-29-2005, 09:39 AM

I googled lucozade--it seems it's a glucose drink? Like, tons of sugar? Buzz cola, if you will?

Sundae · 09-29-2005, 10:11 AM

I didn't realise it wasn't international or I'd have given more detail. Yes, its a glucose drink - if you were ill in the 70's the chances are your Mum would have poured this down your throat!

Its bright orange but doesn't have a particularly strong flavour, so not to be confused with Iron-Bru.

But as you say - brimful of sugar, and bearing in mind I'm drinking it partly to repair myself following a night on calorific beer its hardly surprising I am beginning to bulge out of my clothes

Health kick, health kick, health kick. October.

I tried the New Diet Coke with Splenda.

I am very, very sorry that I did. It tastes nothing at all like Coke.

Wolf, have you tried the Coke C2 yet? Half sugared, half Splenda, just a touch lighter on the palate than regular Coke. Not a diet drink, just a smaller dose of sugar. You could get up to one of those every week! I think in C2 Coca-Cola Corp actually succeeded in what they tried to do with New Coke -- by taking a totally different road.

I tried it when it first came out...that, and Pepsi Edge. Awful.

Unless they reformulated it, C2 has aspartame in it also. No go.

Near impossible to get a good steak outside of Philly.

My onetime manager, of blessed memory, was raised in Allentown PA and was plenty particular about his Philly cheese steaks.

He found happiness with The Great Central Steak & Hoagie Company, four or five locations in Ventura County CA. He thought the GCS&H in Santa Paula did it the best, and he'd always stop there on his sales rounds. Being as it's Ventura County, you can also get a tri-tip sandwich there. This marinated barbequed beef is a local specialty.
