..........................oh my god, what!!!!  Where do people come up with these recipes?!   The oyster crackers one just makes me shrivel up a little inside, but it had to have been good if it was made repeatedly!  I trust you, but I’m afraid!

omg I totally forgot about the salami + cream cheese!!!! (I never thought of adding pepperoncini but that sounds amazing.) Everyone thinks that one is crazy but I got it from my dad who had it as an appetizer when he was a kid too (through my grandma of course). I have no idea what era that was, but it’s my favorite…

Ooh I love chicken parm -- I used to get a serving of nuggets at the cafeteria and then a side bowl of marinara to dip in when I was working at a college for a couple years.  Gosh.  I miss that.  Great ideas, I’ll have to invest in some assorted ingredients to fancy it up!!  (My grandpa and his Iowa family used to eat…

Whoa.  Hahahah!

Oof.  Maybe too salty for me, but I can see the appeal as a kid!!  I was weird.  I used to dip my french fries in water to cool them down when I was very very little.  Luckily I can handle fries now. ;)

Now that’s super unique -- I never would have thought of putting something savory in guacamole.  I bet my dad would go for that.

I don’t think I could do that, but I can see how it would be appealing!! (I’m not a huge fan of jelly on PB sandwiches.  But I can almost do the crunchy!) Ha.  Did the coworker “invent” it as a kid?

Heheheh, yes! My grandpa was only occasionally in charge of dinner for the kids, and this is what he made them after his time in the army. My mom calls it that and it makes her feel very daring. ;)  But yes, so appetizing!! lol.

Normally I don’t like much seafood, but I’m okay with some of the fake crab, but somehow I think this would taste good!  I think I’d put cream cheese in there instead of mayo!

I hear you — really, to me, it just depends on the group! I’ve gotten lucky that one of my groups of coworkers from a specific time in my life were all very similar to each other in the sense that we have deep thoughts and unique interests that are scattered around the group, are feminists, etc. Other than that…

Mmmmm and so simple and doesn’t squoosh down like bread might.  Mm. Peanut butter...

I am guilty of eating a cold plain hot dog.  It’s weird but delicious.  I can see PB spicy toast, that sounds great!  I’m not sure about the raw onions though.  My tummy hurts in sympathy.  XD  What is vinegar pie???

Yes! Yes!! *claps furiously* Brilliant!!  Encore!!! (Also, that’s me, looking into the golden glow of the freezer, debating what snack to have late night...) I want tempest tots, now.  I will ponder.  (And I actually do have some tots in my freezer. :D )

Holy cow.  That sounds crazy but I’d eat it.  I LOVE AMBROSIA but I don’t like the marshmallows.  I just really love cool whip.  Mmm.  Frozen cool whip straight on a spoon is great too.  lol.  The fruit dip though -- reminds me of a recipe I saw on emmymadeinjapan on youtube.  I don’t remember what the binder is, but…

Tomato soup cake?!?!  Sauerkraut cake?!!  Wow. To the internet I go!

Oh that’s very fancy.  I do like mustard, and could see that contrasting with the PB!  I’m in the minority though that only likes PB on a sandwich, no other toppings. Ohhh but grainy mustard..... mmmm.  Okay, you got me.

I could see that.... I mean, it’s not too far off from the fancy dessert brick toast they have at some Taiwanese places here.... mm.... toast.  Mm.  Sugar.

You know I can see the popcorn thing, but I don’t know how you tread lightly to avoid the painful pieces.  CRONCH.  eep.  I don’t know about the vinegar thing though!

Please let us live vicariously through you!!!  Best of luck.  Eep! Nerves.

I’m doing the same as Darwin.  Poor pup!
