Isolated Blurts - The HT Cafe Way

[onlyerics]

I was schduled to work for 10 days, and I just completed it! Now I'm off for the next five days! Yay!
(attempts to jump up but smiles tiredly instead.)
Yay!

I hope I'm not too late to say this...but congratulations on the new job, Sassy. Good luck!

I will only say that the toasted version of the soon-to-be-imitated-throughout-Litland Yank's Chocolate Fluffernutter is an exquisite treat, food for the gods, gustatorily great, and happy-making for the stomach.

My Fat Tuesday is now almost complete. All I need is some time with a good book and a tall glass of port. Now if only I could talk the wifely one into letting me smoke a cigar with my port...

What sort of chocolate do you use in this gustatory delight? I'm going to the grocery store today.

Hey now, remember that the toast idea was mine. So when we franchise a toasted melted-chocolate fluffernutter cafe next to every starbucks, half of the profits are mine.

Scaly: We could make a few bucks.
mwy: I'm in.

Anything that's available. Chocolate chips work well, as does any milk chocolate bar. When I only have a chocolate bar, I use a lemon zester on it to make meltable little curls.

5 days, wow. make the most of it if you can.

Oh, I will! I will! I finally get to see E this weekend. So happy. Most of all, though, I'm glad that I got Ash Wednesday off. The mass here is at 7 pm. If I was working this evening, I would either have to miss it or leave during my shift.

 

[midwestyankee]

uh......are you refering to yourself in the third person here?

It's the "Domly we" you might say.

I was just thinking this same question, and also the method used to melt the chocolate.

(This while I'm eating peanut m&m's and drinking coffee......pure bliss)

I just tried the melting part with my first toasted one yesterday. Before it was just a case of adding a little chocolate (chips or tiny chunks of a bar). I spread some chips on the toast while it was in the toaster oven and then spread on the peanut butter and fluff when the toast was ready. This methodology would be well suited to use in mass-production equipment so long as the bread stays horizontal during toasting.

* When will they ever stop messing with the ''smilies''. I HATE that damn nana and it should be hidden under ''more''!! Damnit, when will the world conform to my thinking?


* And I'm just about ready to bust this TOASTED fluffernutter with chocolate outta the watah... I hosey the Boston franchise.

cate: if the forum software works the way i think it does, it will display the most frequently used 15 smileys, so sadly, there isn't much that can be done about that.

This is a dark day for me then, Ed.

I didn't know that's why it changes from time to time. Maybe I should try to canvass the forums against the dreaded nana.

Scalywag's Toasted Fluffernutter Experiment #1

 

[EJFan]

if graham chapman was still alive, he'd prance in on this thread wearing his captain's outfit and declare, "this sketch is getting silly."

in any event... i thought i'd clear up this craving mystery for you wag. salty and sweet foods cause cravings for one another. eat salty (fish) crave sweet (fluff) and vice versa.

carry on then. i'm sorry to say, however, that i shant be joining the fluffernutter bandwagon.

I beg this question:

Does salt-water fish inherently have higher levels of sodium than freshwater fish due to the environment from which it was taken? Is it treated with salt as a preservative? I don't put any salt on my food, and I certainly don't need somebody putting it on for me.

By the way, I usually use salt/sugar free peanut butter. Are you suggesting I make my fluffernutters with peanut butter containing salt, thereby creating it's own circle of needing more fluffernutters?

i have no idea... i just believe that fish, by nature, is a relatively salty food. of course, this isn't to say ALL fish. i'd check the sodium content on the package... or, if it's fresh, check on the web to see what the salt level is.

one note on salt... people at risk for (or with) high blood pressure are often cautioned to avoid salt in their diet. the rationale behind this is that salt causes the body to retain moisture. some of that moisture is in the arteries, causing additional fluid in them and thus increasing blood pressure... a very small percentage of people (i can't give an actual number here) actually have this type of sensitivity.

now on to more important things... i think your sugar/salt combo on the fluffernutters is a BRILLIANT marketing scheme. it reminds me of when they used to put cocaine in coca-cola. you're a damned genius!

 

[EJFan]

I'm not sure what fluffernutter bandwagon you're talking about EJ, but I've been eating them, mostly toasted, since I was a kid (in other words, a long time).

I think of it more as a way of life.

i was referring to the ongoing conversation here... i totally respect the lifestyle and culture surrounding the fluffernutter but i can't participate in the discourse here because i can't eat it... i just can't i tell ya.
