i come from a long line of inveterate food mixers. i blame big daddy. from his 'bizodd' (potatoes, onions, bacon and whatever leftovers need to be fried up, doused in ketchup and tabasco and snarfed ecstatically) to 'summersides' (any coke and sprite mixed together), we always think we can improve on anything. i caught myself this morning adding a little plain hemp milk to a little coconut vanilla milk to a dash of raw milk in my oatmeal.
because apparently i just can't have too many real and fake dairy products in one small bowl of cereal.
what weird foods do you concoct that would make normal people scratch their heads?
oh, and what got asked this morning that's causing all the hugeass blank patches in my in-box?

for me I like apple sauce on my pizza... any kind of pizza but supreme is the best, especially if its a thick crust.
It adds that little bit of sweetness to it and makes it that much better.
I put peanut butter on waffles, cap n' crunch on french toast, and am a huge fan of suicide slurpees.
OMG you made my day!
What a hoot!
Enjoy your full moon swim.
;)
I eat rice with spaghetti.
Oh S.....we are one in the same....I am a huge mixer of foods....flours, milks, teas, I add cabbage or onions or carrots or garlic or whatever root veggie I want to my mashed potatoes...If a recipe calls for cream, I mix up yogurts and sour cream and whatever leftover cream cheese I have....the list just never ends....
Khairete to another failed Alchemist from another life.....

Oooh, Bug, I like chips on my sandwiches too. Got me through years of blah pbj's.
I get some strange looks from my husband when I mix up food, but for some reason I can't remember what I mix up... full moon got my brain?
Another case of FULL MOON syndrome in labor.
My grandfather used to eat peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. The explanation he gave me is that peanut butter was really hard to spread when it first came out, so people mixed in honey and other things to make it spread easier. His family couldn't afford honey or didn't have access to it (not sure which), so they used mayo to make it spread easier. And even as peanut butter improved, to him it just didn't taste right without the mayonnaise.
When I played soccer as a kid, you could go to the concession stand and get a drink after the game. There was a drink I called "the suicide." (I have no idea why I named it that, I didn't even know what suicide was at the time!!) It was two squirts of every soda and tea on the machine. I don't drink caffeine anymore, but I still do that every once in a while. (And then feel awful, from the caffeine.) People definitely look at me like I'm crazy. One of my favorite dishes my mom ever made was onions, hotdogs, potatoes, and green beans...sliced and mixed together. I asked that for my birthday dinner last year, much to everyone's disappointment. I always put chips on my sandwiches, although I don't think that's considered weird.
ETA: Guess I didn't make up calling them suicides. That makes so much more sense! :)
Cottage Cheese and potato chips all mixed together. The potato chips get soft... YUM!
Slop suey. Like chop suey only you throw in and stir fry whatever you can find in the fridge.
When I was a kid the number one go to drink for when we were sick with a cold was 1/2 sprite and 1/2 O.J. I have no clue why my mom gave us that but she did, and I liked them a lot.
My mom also enjoyed peanut butter and onion sanndwiches (gag).
I personally love to dip my corn dogs into either a rootbeer milkshake or an oreo cookie milkshake. =)
Peanut butter on pancakes and waffles! YUMMY! When I was a kid I liked to take the crust off of white bread, take the bread roll it up and shape into a ball and roll it in sugar and eat it!
Ah, yes . . . suicides! Learned about those when I worked in a movie theater during my college years :-D
Well, there's the egg and green olive sandwiches that I mentioned a while back. And I used to pour hot chocolate over my Cheerios instead of regular milk.
But it's my son (once again) who is the champion weird combo person in our household.
As a toddler, he had to dip his fish sticks in applesauce.
Now he tops his hot dog with potato salad.
And then, on a dare, he used a twinkie as the bun for his hot dog, topped it with Cheez Whiz, and then dipped *that* in milk.
Gags me to think about it, and even though he says it wasn't that bad, he only did it once!
S.:
I don't see the problem with the first one...can you tell me how you fix it? Sliced potatoes? Mashed potatoes??? it sounds like something I might try!!!
The milk - yuck - sorry - coconut milk, soy and other "milks" make me gag...I love milk in my oatmeal though!! I think I'll fix oatmeal after I wake up from my nap!! (I slept really bad again last night!! darn it!! and had to be up and out of the house at 0730 for a Boy Scout function!! I'm dying here!!)
I put peanut butter on my french toast, waffles and pancakes...and then syrup on top of that....my husband thinks it's DISGUSTING!!!
We have spaghetti and hot dogs...buttered spaghetti noodles with garlic, hard boiled eggs (I slice mine and my boys) my husband likes his crumbled up like spaghetti bolognesa (the non-meat sauce) and hot dogs on the side...that makes some people scratch their heads!! It's an easy ONE POT meal!! YAHOO!!!
