agreed. If it's not REAL cheese. Its not cheese. I've gone through drive throughs and then driven BACK and walked inside if they put cheese on something.

(now real cheese, I love - but if it's not real, it's not cheese)

Kitchy.. I still love you - compatible or not.

I suppose one of your other favs is maple syrup? or perhaps tuna from a can.

I'm not a really a picky eatter -but being that my top 3, tend to be staples for some people sometimes makes it seem that way.

Heck I always hate at the fast food places when they ask if you want cheese on the burger you ordered. NO! If I wanted your gross yellow cheese substitute, I would have ordered a "Cheese"burger.

I've given burgers back too because of cheese issues.

I also won't ever go back to the Tap N Grill in North St. Paul because I ordered a philly cheesesteak sandwich and it came covered in melted american cheese. Everybody knows it's supposed to be swiss, even if some come with fake swiss.

I'm really not all that picky of an eater myself, but if I'm spending $$ to eat, I don't want to eat stuff I don't care for.

funny KC.

I love mushrooms, love bell peppers and love onions.

but I won't eat the 3 of the together. There is some strange smell that comes from the 3 put together that just turns my stomach.

Any two in the combo is fine, but all 3 - forget it.

I never used to like cheeseburgers. Everytime I'd go to McDonalds to get a quarterpounder you have to ask for one and say very clearly "Without cheese". Usually they repeat it as "a quarter cheese with no cheese". No wonder it usually came with cheese and I had to bring it back. Even the menu lists it as quarter cheese and then underneath says without cheese. Stupid!!

Can I kick mine out today? He's driving me nuts with all these petty tasks he keeps giving me.

Love4Vino

go schedule him a tee time. That is what I used to do to my old boss at my last job. when he was driving me nuts - I'd clear his schedule, call his 3 retired buddies, and make them a tee time.

Then I'd pick up his lunch, go into his office drop it down, and tell him he had to eat, and get the heck out, cause he had a game in an hour.

He really loved me for that. usually I handled everything he would have, with a lot less stress that way.

KC0GRN

bwahahaha.

No way, I just want to kick him out. That sounds like way to much effort, especially today.

He bought pizza for everyone, but it's in his office, so to get it, you have to go in there and deal with him giving you another task or 3 (there's no quick way out of his office, I know him too well).

Well I just got the answer to the pizza issue, the boss just called a meeting to talk about a switch in paper suppliers.

Hahaha.

I wasted an hour and a half of my life in that meeting, and I'll never get it back. :eyeroll:

I started off the day so positive, and then I got to work. I kept trying, and then I got stuck with a bunch of petty tasks culminating in a meeting I could have easily skipped.

These are the days I have to remember when I'm offered other job opportunities, or trying to make some positive changes in my life.

And I still haven't had any lunch. I suppose I should thank them for that though, pizza isn't really the best thing to be eating anyway.

Mmmmmm...pizza!

I miss Carbone's. Its the first place I go when I land in the cities.

This university town has a lot of pizza places, but I haven't found one that makes me hungry for pizza.

I'll go with you to Carbone's when you come here Eags -

no one I know likes it - I love all kinds of pizza (not keen on Dominos or Pizza Hut though but I'll still eat it)Savoys is real good ~ Carbone's reminds me of my grandma :smile: nice memories

oh and ps... I'd go with you even if I didn't like it because I'd like to spend the time with you - hurry up and get here-chop chop

I too wish you'd get moved back here. We miss you. Thank goodness for computers so we stay in touch.

And some day - sooner rather than later - I need to have some Savoy's. I did once long, long, long ago. I remember it being good. I don't remember anything else about it except that someone had done the take out thing.

Clue Master

What I've noticed about Carbone's pizza is that it's more about the smell than the taste. Their pizzas don't really have much to them but they and the restaurants smell fantastic. A real genuine pizza smell. Kinda like the old Sal's pizza place in the K-Mart mall in Cottage Grove. The smell was everything.

You know CM, that's exactly what I remember of a pizza place called Sorini's that used to be up near Snelling on University. We went up now and again when I was in high school.

And then carried that tradition forward when we were first married.

The smell was enough to make you think you were starving! The pizza was good though too.

And Papa Mike's smelled that way.

Most pizza places smell like pizza - but some smell even better. I wonder what it is.

I am starting not to be all the rave about savoy's like i used to...not really caring for the sauce.

I like this joint i found in dinkytown about a block to the west of mcdonalds...forgot the name of it...pizza's by the slice and they have all kinds....my fav. is the mac and cheese pizza.

I also like "old world pizza" in IGH kittycorner to applebees.

ofcourse I also like the $5 pizza from little ceasers :wink: just cuz its cheap.

cant remember the name either but they've had it in madison forever and I just found out they opened one here. their philly cheese steak is amazing.

I prefer Angelo's over Carbone's any day.... Savoys is good stuff, but I'll gladly take Cossetta, please :sillygrin:

side note (and so I dont get in trouble): Pizza Magic is the best!

Wow - we will have one big Carbone's party!!

If circumstances allow, I might be down in mid-June for son Mags' 31st birthday party.

Eags

I'm not sure how much Angelo's or Carbone's have changed their recipes over the years, but Angelo's was started by a guy who used to have a Carbone's franchise. He altered one ingredient by a smidgin' but otherwise they were the same pizza.

Hey (as Santa Dave would say)!!! We could have a bring-your-favorite-pizza get-together!

Eags, It was something like Hogerty's. That name was embroidered on one of his jackets. I don't know if they are in business anymore or not.

you are all nuts...

It's all about Hearthside Pizza. My friend Vanessa and her boyfriend took me to both carbone's and savoys when I was there. It was ok.

I'm not a huge pizza fan, but I do applaud the restaurants there for offering green olives on pizza. You can't find that here.

But you can get alot of other wierd stuff - like cobb pizza.

my enjoy of the day:

Golfing with this guy: jonathan cain heck of a nice guy.

but that wasn't the true enjoy - the true enjoy was 2 fold

1) a drive that landed 7.25 feet from the hole (and yes, it was mine) 2) our team finishing 9 under par for 3rd place - tie. (the #1 finished 22 under par - jerks)
