A yummy snack! Triscuits and sharp cheddar cheese!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

What's your fav snack?

When your mouth just needs something so it'll shut up and leave you alone!

:9

[KitchenWitch]

1. Hummus and Pita bread

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Now, I haven't tried that one...

Sounds interesting!

:hi:

[ThomCat]

35. With a black olive!

:9

Yum.

[stuntcat]

46. my answer too, hummus and pita..

We get the pita chips more lately though, and I've been making my own hummus.

[crimsonblue]

2. hmmmm

when I'm stressed out, a glass of pinot noir.

when I'm craving salty stuff, popcorn.

when I'm craving sweet stuff, a kudos bar.

when I want come comfort food, something from the freezer that my mom gave me.

when I want something to just munch on, some gum.

when I'm feeling ornery, the gf.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. LOL!

Nice choices!

Esp. that last one...:evilgrin:

[crimsonblue]

5. ya... my "little friend" was very naughty...

and by order of the king cannot come out and play for the foreseeable future... sigh.

[harmonicon]

6. that's one of my favourites

can't get Triscuits in the UK though :( not even anything close. I also like to have some spicy brown mustard with the cheese and crackers, along with a nice hoppy beer for snacking and moving watching at the end of the day. Good snack choice, Peggy :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear harmonicon!

I'm so sorry you can't get Triscuits in the UK...

They are by far my fav cracker...

I wonder if you could get them shipped from some online site?

The mustard sounds like a nice choice!

:hug:

[Richard Steele]

8. I like just a drop of "Texas Pete" on the cheese.

It's pretty much the only thing I use the stuff for.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. And what is "Texas Pete"?

Never heard of it!

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

14. A mediocre hot sauce.

[Lil Missy]

10. Sushi!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Um..raw fish?

Be careful, sweetie!

Those can have tapeworms...:scared:

[Lil Missy]

17. No, it's not all raw fish.

There are many types of sushi that don't include raw fish.

The secret is the wasabi and soy sauce. OMG, I'm going to start drooling!

Do you like hot toppings? As in taste or spicy hot? I do. Wasabi takes just a little dab, and will give you brain thunderbolts like you wouldn't believe!

[asteroid2003QQ47]

32. Sushi!, Sushi!, Sushi!

Wasabi, soy sauce, Spider Rolls--YES!

"brain thunderbolts"--Great description!

[TK421]

12. Triscuits and sharp cheddar cheese!

we are on the same wavelength, my dear Peggy! I'm a cheese-a-holic here! But have you ever tried Double Gloucester? it's an English cheddar that has been aged for quite a bit of time ( anywhere from 2-4 years ) it is marvelous! I suggest you look for it, if you haven't had it yet, but it is simply AWESOME....especially with Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear TK421!

It surprises me not at all that we occupy the same wave-length!

My local supermarket has many cheeses, and I will look for the Double Gloucester!

Sounds very yummy, sweetie!

:hug:

[tjwmason]

61. Bringing out the pernickety b*****d in me

Double Gloucester isn't a cheddar.

Cheddar should really come from Somerset (which is where the village of Cheddar actually is), whereas Double Gloucester comes from Gloucestershire (as the name implies).

Both are gorgeous when made properly, and pointless plastic in other cases.

[TheMightyFavog]

13. Triscuits are the uber-cracker

:9

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear JonathanChance!

Aren't they, though?

I've been eating them since I was pregnant with my oldest daughter...over 40 years!

:hi:

[TK421]

18. They are, indeed the BOMB

but the Rosemary and Olive oil flavor is to die for

[TheCentepedeShoes]

34. Yummmm....

I have a box of rosemary and olive oil in the pantry now.

[kath]

54. Have either of you tried the Roasted Garlic Triscuits?

absolutely addictive! And fabulous with sharp cheddar. Or hummus. or by themselves. or...
I'm making myself hungry just thinking about them...

[TK421]

60. I have had them, too...they are very good!

like their slogan says " Nothing handles hunger like a Triscuit "!

I discovered the Rosemary and Olive Oil ones by mistake....I picked up the wrong box ( I think I wanted the Garden Herb, which is VERY good ) when I got home, I was pleasantly surprised!!

[Captain Angry]

19. I've never liked Triscuits.

So, I do sharp cheddar cheese on Ritz or, if I'm really celebrating something important like football season beginning, I use Chicken in a Biscuits.

I grew up not liking any sports. But I liked it when Dad watched football because that meant cheese, crackers, onion dip and RC cola.

Yes, I was way overweight growing up, why do you ask? :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear Captain Angry!

Well, if you don't like them, then that leaves more for me!

Ritz are also wonderful crackers...

Your dad's snacks were wonderful!

And I would never dream of asking you anything that personal, sweetie!

:hi:

[Captain Angry]

25. It turned out that there was an easy way to stop being overweight.

Or, as they called it when I was young, husky.

I needed to do something. Anything. I was so sedentary that I probably had a layer of dust on me. But one day I was watching a hockey game, and found myself yelling at the TV for them to do something. I realized, I've never even ice skated before. So, I taught myself to skate, and eventually to play hockey. I dropped between 75-100 pounds. I put some of it back on when I stopped skating due to night classes. But I'm days from graduating, so I will be able to eat better and exercise again.

But I will still have my Ritz + cheddar. :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Good for you! That is a lot of weight to shed...

You have more than earned your Ritz and cheddar!

Oh, and congrats on your imminent graduation!

:hug:

[crimsonblue]

20. what are these alien "triscuits" you speak of?

I am curious. :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear crimsonblue...

I don't have a picture of them...

But they are a woven little square of whole wheat fibers...

Very tasty!

If you Google them, you will find an image...

:hi:

[Lil Missy]

22. Oooooh! I like cheese too!

I especially like the brick cheddar and mozzarella in little slices on a Townhouse cracker.

I also love squirt cheese, Cheddar or American, on a cracker. My cats love it too, and appear out of nowhere when I pop a lid of squirt cheese. They can smell it a mile away.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Oh, the kitties can smell cheese from great distances!

Cheese is a big staple in my house...

Sharp cheddar and monterey jack are our all-time favorites!

:hi:

[crimsonblue]

26. hopefully you don't cut the cheese..

edit: stupid link crapped out...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. ....

:spank:




:rofl:

[Lautremont]

29. I ate a Triscuit once and didn't need salt for a year.

I do kind of like them though!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear Lautremont!

They do have a fair amount, true!

But I love their texture, and crunchy snap!

:hi:

[crimsonblue]

31. you should be the spokewoman....

it could be a radically new branding strategy... think abt it: a crazy liberal feminist spouting off on the gloriousness that is the triscuit.. I only jest... (but only the liberal part :P :P )

[Enrique]

33. I knew it, you're a Triscuit troll

your three years and 15,000 posts didn't fool me.

[ThomCat]

36. Rye Triscuits

with roasted red pepper Hummus and a black olive. :9

[In_The_Wind]

37. Roasted Garlic Triscuits

with black olive hummus.


:hi: :loveya:

[ThomCat]

38. I think we need another party.

:9

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

39. I think so too!

But I plan to be working most weekends this summer selling my photography.

[ThomCat]

42. Awesome! Craft fairs? Conventions?

Booths in malls? Where do you set up to sell your stuff? :)

[In_The_Wind]

43. This summer is the beginning.

http://www.ulster.net/~fleamarket/

I'm sure I will find other locations but for now I only have to travel 5 miles to sell my humble little snapshots. Close to home sounds pretty darned good to me.

[TommyO]

52. The Roasted Garlic ones are yummy, aren't they?

Need to find some black olive hummus around. I wonder if it could be made by combining an olive tapenade with hummus?

[In_The_Wind]

53. You'll enjoy the combination of tapenade and hummus.

I do.

:hi:

[Catshrink]

40. Sprout's spinach dip and sesame pita chips

Yum! I don't indulge very often because of the fat so I relish every bite when I do.

[Catshrink]

41. Try Trader Joe's "Woven Wheats"

they're a Triscuit knock off for half the price.

As for the cheese -- are you a Tillamook fan? I love their sharp and especially the extra sharp. I buy 'em by the brick at Costco.

[AlCzervik]

44. Trader Joe's Blue cheese and roasted pecan spread with pretzels.

that stuff on just about anything is delicious.

[LibDemAlways]

58. It's really good on their tortilla flatbread

crackers. To die for.

[ThatsMyBarack]

45. Hey,CaliforniaPeggy!

Try nuking those in the microwave! :9

[NMDemDist2]

47. i like those, but I add apple slices

cheese, Triscuit, apple slice, repeat as needed or until it's all gone or until you're full as a little tick

:rofl:

[Inchworm]

48. Triscuits are my snack as well

I am especially liking the Fire Roasted Tomato and Olive Oil ones lately.

I do a small bottle of Barefoot Zinfandel, a block of good blue cheese, and Triscuits. Heaven.

I have that stuff on the kitchen table now but I'm waiting for a reason to celebrate :P

:9 :9 :9

:hi:

[JackBeck]

49. Currently, Wasabi Peas.

But my fall-back staple are pistachio nuts.

[Deja Q]

50. Rachel Ray

Just jivin'. :evilgrin:


Sushi on a triscuit, regardless if it was endorsed by Rachel or not. :D

[BuddhaGirl]

51. mmmmmmmmm that's a favorite of mine too!

I like to add a little honey mustard as well...I love sweet & savory together :9 :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. THANKS EVERYBODY!

I normally have time to answer all of you, but alas, today, I don't...

I am reading all these lovely suggestions!

Thanks again for playing in my very silly thread!

:grouphug:

[Nevilledog]

56. Cheese, crackers and a plop of A-1 sauce on top.

I usually like regular saltines, sharp cheddar cheese and then some A-1 on top. Try it, I swear you'll love it. Unless you don't like A-1 sauce...lol. I've caught my hubby on numerous occasions drinking A-1 right outta the bottle. He's odd that way.

edit for typo

[WinkyDink]

57. I agree with yours, totally!!

[Breeze54]

59. Oooh... that's good or whipped cream cheese and chives and triscuits!

Now you're making me hungry! :hi:

[laylah]

62. Absolutely, Miss Peggy =)
