Who makes this sweet tea so I can compair the ing.'s and make sure their one and the same.

OR maybe I should look back in the pop question one for the answer ??

Stuffed peppers are good. Best one's I have ever had were in a Italian Restaurent downtown Buffalo!

Nice state Penn. I was there in April for the first time in my life. People were very friendly, and the scenery is fantatic.

had them in San Diego, Austin, Dallas, San Francisco, and L.A.

love those things. more often than not, i hear them called 'jallapeno poppers,' and you can get them in the frozen food section of most grocery stores in my area.

there is a restruant chain in Texas called 'Jims' which is a southwestern style 24hr place almost like dennys but less pancakes, more grits. they have these things which are battered, deep fried, jalapeno strips (slice the skin of the pepper into thin strips, batter, fry) and they call them 'texas toothpicks'

those are good too.

of course most mexican or tex-mex restruants have stuffed peppers, which are larger peppers (the type varies) stuffed with sauce, sometimes meat, and / or cheese.

recently a friend of mine has taken to pickling peppers. large quantities of mixed peppers are sliced and thrown into a jar of pickling sauce (with a few cucumber spears) and a boatload of spices. when they come out the pickle spears are mighty tasty, and the peppers are supreme. requires a tall cold-one or two in order to wash down several of the peppers tho.

However, if you got any of these above mentioned things anywhere near a snack donought, you should be shot.

grits. That's that vile stuff that looks almost like Porriage ( bad speller )but comes nowhere close in taste and texture.

Back to the topic - I love Dunkin' cruller doughnuts, the ones with ridges. They're made out of a different batter so that they soak up the grease like a sponge.

... and fried vegetables. In addition to French Fries, I love batter fried onion rings, squash, okra, mushrooms, grean beans, green tomatoes, egg plant, and, of course, jalapeno poppers.

Hmmm. There seems to be a theme here. Maybe that's why I had a heart attack Last year.

Re: OT- Best Snack Donut
 

Interesting. I thought I'd get more quizzical responses to the deep-fried turkeys. Oh well, live and learn.

TS, this is how I make sweet tea.

--Add ~1 quart of water and three large (family-size) flow-through tea bags to a small saucepan.
--Heat until it just starts to boil.
--Remove from heat and let stand (steep) ~10-15 minutes.
--In a gallon pitcher, add 1 1/2 cups of sugar (more or less to taste, of course).
--Add the steeped tea to the pitcher. Squeeze out the tea bags for more flavor.
--Stir the sugar/steep mixture in the pitcher till the sugar is dissolved.
--Add cold water to make a gallon, stirring all the way.
--Chill, as it's best served cold.

Now that everyone can make their own sweet tea, I promise this is the Last time I mention sweet tea, unless someone else brings it up.

Grits: I won't even go there!

Ever hear of Sun tea? I dont know how to make it but I see that you put it out in the sun to cook or something... I dont know

Re: OT- Best Snack Donut
 

Yep Sweet tea is the same as Iced tea. I had a feeling all along. So if you come to Canada just ask for iced tea. It is just another type of pop up here unless you brew it your self or by the Iced tea mix from the supermarket. Which is really good. I drink it all the time. It helps with those sore sunday mornings if you did not keep track of what drinks your body can handle on a Sat. night.

Sun tea. I have heard of it but never tried it. I love tea. Russian tea is quite nice. Bitter with a nice hint of sweetness.

Re: OT- Best Snack Donut
 

Green tea is very nice. I am drinking some right now. Getting ready to watch some Jackie Chan (twin dragons) and just plain old Sunday night relax before the work week begins
