c'est bon.
This list should have been in Spanish.
That's my piece of paper! I put my name on it!
fdsajkh, tu parles français. Très bien.
It's the four basic food groups!! I'd recognize 'em anywhere!!
Looks like another list day here in the comments section. Can we break yesterday's record?
For me, I'll have:
Cheese
Pickles
Whisky
Pizza
lol @ bacon 4 comments up. =)
Uh, nice to see all four food groups covered.
Ooh! Lists again! Let's see...
I want:
Marshmallows
Vanilla extract
Bowtie noodles
Spam
@ Jason: I know that this really has nothing to do with this list, but I have been dying to know how finds of the day are actually chosen. Is it random? Is there some sort of committee?
I LOVE YOU AMANDA!!!!!!!
@Amanda Brandt: You found bacon, peppermints, peanut butter, and meat on the floor during Spanish class? Shouldn't you have been studying irregular verbs in the subjunctive case or some such thing? There must be some happy vermin in that building...
Public Radio aficionados will recall the the "Stump the Cook" game played on "The Splendid Table" with Lynne Rossetto Kasper. A caller identifies several ingredients found in his/her fridge, and Lynne has to describe some delectable dish that could be made with them. She can amaze and astound with an odd inventory.
This list is actually from a August 2002 episode (http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/stump/archive Lynne's scrumptious solution? Peppermint crusted "meat" wrapped with a strip of bacon (ala filet mignon) drizzled with a peanut butter and peppermint reduction.
You can call me anything you want, just don't call me late for supper.
It cut off the link. Let's try again:

Yay Amanda! I'm so excited!
This looks so much like my mother's handwriting it's scary, esp. considering she died about 4 yrs ago...I would say this is the teacher's list, dropped when prowling the rows of desks looking for cheaters. Peppermints are for easing her throat after a hard day of yelling at inattentive students.
Nice "balanced" diet--I don't think. No wonder they call it the SAD.
I'll bet flargy's in new haven; as sure as mona's in the louvre.
>>Flargy: I usta live in new haven; across from evergreen park, on grasso blvd, but I had to leave when crack came to town.
>>Mona: nice smile.
>>About the food list: Meh.
I dunno, could be the start of a recipe.
You know anything you could cook out of these 4 things? Or any 4 things?
Also, isn't bacon a meat?
Spam protection: "Spell the word 'palindrome' backwards." Huh, I always thought it was spelled the same in both directions! Never noticed that it wasn't.
Not so clever, how did you ever find that? OMG! Oh, and Jason I tried to leave a comment on the Letterman video, but it would let me. What up man?
I can create a very similar list by looking at my cabinets, it's Friday so I don't have more then 4 things in there left:
Ramen
Graham Crackers
Gatorade
Yogurt
chocolate
persimmons
cookies
beef
farmer... where is the dell, exactly?
and i have hope, siobhan says that she sent in her find a year and a half ago.its only been six months since i sent mine in
In my fridge:
marascino cherries
2 sad-looking leeks
cream cheese
leftover corned beef (throw away?)
Thankfully, I don't have to cook tonight so my kids will not have to try my cheese-filled corned beef with leek and cherry sauce. Bleh.
These spam protection math questions are killing me!
Dear Alimentos,
'Who are you?' is a hard act to follow.
Love,
JodaBabes
PS
bourbon chicken

Diet Coke

Happy spankin' day CoffeeCloud
Odd list. Heres mine
chuck roast
1 can of bud light
a pantry full of candy
dog food
These are the ingredients for Amber's Famous Bacon-Butter "Mints"-Meat Pie!
Too young to know the difference between "mints" and "mince," little Amber unwittingly invented what could have been yet another staple of the modern Southern diet. Unfortunately, a twister blew into Virginia and carried this gem all the way to Indiana before the South had a chance to claim it as its own NASCAR delicacy. I bet you will find it at this year's Indy 500, though.
@not so clever - yes! Stump the Chef was the first thing I thought of! I just know Lynn could whip this list of ingrediants into a four-course meal.
@Flargy - mints confused with mince, now that's funny!
@not so clever: I still can't get the link to work :(

Tell me you're in college! That sounds like my dorm room by Friday! hahaha.... :)
Today's FIND is kinda blah, but that's okay, not every day can be a superstar!
A old grocery list from my college days:
box of wine
certs
today sponges
cat food
@nadine:
re: the link: very carefully assume a headstand in front of your computer (this will be easier with a laptop, I think). Now look at the last section of the URL...
Fifth grade calculator humor come back to haunt...That is to say, a bogus link.
doh!
pass/fail test.
Pass!
Woo hoo, I'm red!
We're working on a fix for periodic can't-login problem, as well as making sure comments on the showing up on the blog section. Send you more technical questions to us at info [at] foundmagazine.com and we'll investigate...
that list seems seems very collegesque.
in our fridge you'd find
beer
high ate packet of shredded cheese that is now moldy
eggs
tupperware of unidentified leftovers that no one will claim/clean/eat
giggles at not so clever's cleverness. lol
anyone ever been offered something from your mom's fridge... "do you want to eat this? i'm going to throw it out"
Thats what you made me think of D in MQT
This sooo reminds me of my University/College Days!
I had 3 roomies and at the end of the week, none of us had anything really gourmet that we could put together on our 'card table'.
This would be our list:
Kraft Dinner (we called it, 'KD Rations')
Mustard
Frozen Burned Ice Cubes
1/2 bag of 6 month old Flour
I still haven't bought Kraft Dinner to this day!
bacon!! bacon bacon bacon bacon, BACON!!
I can't reeeeead!! Oh, just gimme what's in the bag!! It's Baaaacooonnnn!!
No... it's Beggin' strips.
Dogs don't know it's not bacon.
OMG, Kraft Dinner! I had forgotten about that. I would have starved to death if it weren't for KD Rations in college. And as I recall it was only about $.79 per box. Of course that was back when gas was $.79 per gallon, and I thought THAT was an outrageous price.
Oops, forgot my shopping list (all these are true):
gallon of skim milk
whole grain bread
Pepsi One
Liquid Plumr
Bacon is so special it can't be categorized under the general "meat" item.
my list for a perfect friday night:
chocolate
wine
boyfriend
chocolate
@Dasher: Nothing smells like bacon except BACON!!!
@Nadine: that list is hysterical!
My list:
Scallops
Ding dongs
organic milk
peas
There has been a growing movement over the past few months to disallow Pepper from the commenting section. We have no opinion on the matter, so we leave it up to you, dear commentors. Today, Friday, fill out your answer on the one-question survey posted in the announcements section. Your ten seconds will help determine Pepper's fate!
Champagne
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Whipped Cream
Eggs... How do you like yours?
Dasher, my sister and I used to laugh ourselves silly over that commercial.
I don't really know why -- I guess we just really like silliness!
Makes sense. You'd need pepperments after all that meat and peanut butter.
As it happens this Find is appropriate for me today as I need to go grocery shopping. So here's my list:
Coffee (the elixir of life)
ramen noodles (w/o which I would probably starve)
bananas (the super fruit)
cereal ($4.50 for a box of grain are you F***ing kidding me!!?)
bread (a bag of grain)
Peanut Butter ( whipped nuts in a jar)
Yogurt (corn syrup, whey protein, pectin , annatto extract, and L. acidophilus: this is good why??)
Milk (cow juice)
Hey, did someone already register my handle- the system says the name is already taken. It looks like raven/ trickster has been hanging around. I was going to vote that Pepp should stay... unless Pepp is the one who stole my name... in which case, I hope someone will give him (her?) a nice, juicy wet willy today, and if there's no one else around to exercise justice (:-)), I hope that Pepp or whomever it was will wet-willy/ swirlie themselves right away!
organic wine
organic radishes
organic blueberries
organic IPA
Well Jason, Pepper may bacontroversial, but I'm sure Peppermints no harm to anyone. That crazy peanut butter get with the program if he/she wants to meat with us.
Tocino
hierbabuenas
mantequilla de cacahuete
carne
Muy bien!
@Turbo: fast and on fire (fi-yuh!) as always. Props to your wit.
Pepper should stay (and I've voted as much). A ban would be a little victory. No such gratification from us, I say.
fresh hoegaarden
oranges
brie
terra kettles sea salt & pepper white & russet chips
and @ d in hobart: i need liquid plumr, too, except i spelled it wrong (plmr) on my list this morning and thought, "i hope no one finds this list!"
Turbo, urine a class by yourself. So clever!
My list:
pasta
shellfish
cheese
butter
potatoes
Diet Coke w/lime
We know to take Pepper with a grain of salt - let it stay!
Sorry to be dumb, but where is the Announcements section?
Whee!
I'm trying to shape up for swimsuit season, so here's my list (really!):
Pepperidge Farm 100 Calorie Pack Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cucumbers
Cracker Barrel 2% sharp cheddar cheese
Diet Coke
jumbo shrimp
Lars that is my kinda list! What time are we having snacks?
@ kc: on the right hand orangy menu that says found blog, last link.
@ tori: 5:00 est. good for you?
isn't it fabled that Elvis was partial to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches? Or was that just some dumb rumor? Was it just the peanut butter and bananner sandwiches?
My list is beer, (How 'bout Redhook today?)
chocolate with substance,
Jelly beans
Easter egg dyeing kit.
Spam,
Spam,
Eggs,
Ham,
[and Spam!]
Jason is just like Pilate, giving the rabble a choice.....Give Us Barabbas!!!!!!!
I made Pepper my personal hero exactly three weeks ago and I'm sticking to it.
Cantaloupe
Kefir
Yogurt covered raisins
Pom
Bell Peppers
-stuff I'm going to buy if I make it to Henry's today.
@not so clever: ha! hooray for fifth grade calculator shenanigans. awesome.
@not so clever And john: splendid table was also my very first thought. one of the best recipes ever came from that segment in her show; it included:
chicken
black currant preserves (but i now use razzleberry)
oil&vinegar
red&black beans
carrots&celery
yum-o, for reals.
maybe this is not a list of four items, but just two:
bacon peppermints -- when you want to freshen your breath with the mouth-coating taste of greasy breakfast on the go
peanut butter meat -- spreadable bologna, ham, and turkey (pureed to creamy perfection!) sure to please even the fussiest child (and with enough protein to clog their kidneys)
Here's my real list for tomorrow:
Mop Head
Floor cleaner
Dessert
Milk
Butter
"Dessert" is up to the person I'm sending to the shop so I don't have to go.
Heh. In my lunch bag right now:
1 envelope instant miso soup
mixed greens for salad
blue cheese
half and half
and that's the leftovers. am I odd?
If Pepper has a voice and or anything to contribute to the dialog, he/sh-it needs to do so in hir own voice- not impostor others to say it. i don't care if Pepper is banned or not, but pepper should really make a concentrated effort to stop being such a weenified shit stirrer.
Well, I don't know about whether Pepper should be banned or not...
But *I'm* apparently banned... (Jason said I'm not, but that's getting hard to believe!!)
Ok, I'm hungry...
List:
Beer
Orange juice
Wine
Cheese-straws.
Yay, food!
pickles
iced tea
cottage cheese
smoked chicken
Jason, can Pepper be stopped from impostering without being banned?
I know I should understand the whole sign in/register thing well enough to know the answer to this but I just can't think about that today.
You people have kept me hungry all day... I'll probably wake up a whale tomorrow.... Here's my list:
cucumbers
tomatoes
vinegar dressing
feta cheese
mmmmmm, my favorite meal...
milk
mustard
cat litter
toilet paper
...I need to get a life...
Dang, I wish I'd seen this earlier. I knew I was forgetting something....
@Flargy: very clever comment this morning!
Friends of Pepper, are you forgetting that Pepper is a self-admitted troll? Have you ever seen your name on this screen with a vulgar comment attached to it that you haven't made? Have you ever felt intimidated by Pepper because s/he singled you out for no reason? Have you had your registered screen name jacked by Pepper yet?
Pepper has no conscience. Pepper's joy is making trouble just because it's too nice in here. Pepper doesn't get that people online are real people with real feelings. Pepper doesn't understand why we should care about what s/he says, because s/he can't comprehend that her words can hurt our feelings.
Maybe some of you Pepper lovers are tough enough to take it. Maybe some aren't, though. There are people from all over the world who read here, people of all ages and races and backgrounds, etc. We all deserve to enjoy Found without fear of cyberbullying.
Sleeping,
How do I like my Eggs? Scrambled, with a side of 1234, please.
Pepper is good on eggs. Oh, and on mac & cheese too.
And I'm going to say it. Vote No More: I think it's really unfair to single out Pepper. Pepper is not the only person who has caused mischief (I wouldn't necessarily say "bullying" because what bullying is or is not can be debated).
I would really dislike it if this place turned into every-other-forum on the internet, with 6 moderators spanking all the bad little posters on the hand because somebody was offended and went crying to them.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a thick skin. I get my feelings hurt easily, but Pepper is mild compared to some people. And I honestly don't see how people are so offended by Pepper when I have found some other personalities on this site to be much more offensive. (And if all of those personalities are just Pepper in disguise, well then...just disregard my comments)but I still think it's unfair.
Couldn't Pepper be put on a probational period and if he continues to steal identities and offend THEN we can make him leave, but if he cleans up his act a little, then he can stay.
goat cheese
sun dried tomatoes
lemon
chicken
Yummy. Getting hungry for dinner
For a funny read, go to Amazon and check out Tuscan Milk.

KC-I've read the DT series twice and loved it more the second time.
Don't they mean cacahuate?
Terriesovery, I respect your sense of fairness. It's a credit to our "6 moderators" that you don't really understand. And that's as it should be. Pepper posts under a lot of names, a lot that she's admitted to publicly. She is not being singled out. She has admitted to impostering and cyberbullying.
It isn't about the offensive things Pepper says, it's the offensive words she puts in our friends' mouths, so to speak. It's about the way she makes us feel.
You wouldn't think it was very fair if you woke up one day, logged into Found and saw that someone posted:
Terrie-Is-So-Very said:
I like to blah blah blah (insert something obsene)
And if you think for a minute that it would be kind of funny, or silly and no big deal, fine. Surely we'd all know that it wasn't really our friend Terrie who said that. Then tell us how you'd feel about it after it happened everyday, repeatedly, ad nauseum. (Not that anyone would ever imposter you, I'm sure.)
And Skye, Pepper has been doing this for over 6 months. She's been warned, pleaded with, and threatened with being banned. She doesn't care. It fuels her fire. She's so stoked by the attention she's getting from this, I can't even imagine how high she must be on this.
I'm not going to debate anymore. The point is moot by now as I'm sure the voting is over. Maybe it's unfair to ban someone from a public site. But I care more about you nice people here than the shit stirrers. Thank you and good night.
Who knows what I would think? She is singled out. Others have behaved badly. But no matter, I knew I wouldn't sway your opinion (and that's fine). I completely understand the frustration of the impostor thing, I don't like it. I'm just saying that picking out one shit stirrer and making an example of that person is kind of shitty.
whoelseherehatespepper.blogspot.com
Ban pepper.
Sounds like someone has a new bff!
WTF? Won't let me log in. If I try a random wrong password it tells me it's incorrect, but with the right one it just gives me the form to fill in again, ad infinitum.
Never mind -- it;s not Real Life, is it??
A propos of which --
re trolls:
You no like um, you no read um.
re the Find:
I think this is a memo for a playlist.
'Peanut Butter Meat' by the Bacon Peppermints.
LOL, Jonathan.. "it's not real life.." how many times do I have to tell myself that (or be reminded by someone else..? sigh...)
I think the Bacon Peppermints played Peanut butter Meat right before they played Duck Duck Atomic Bomb at Wembley Stadium, 1992. duuuuude I was there... it was soooo .... yeah.
Oh! How intriguing! I've submitted better finds than this.
Here we go.....
kale
fresh squeezed tangerine juice
Parrano
Amsterdam Reserve cheese
booze.
Well I've been out of town so I missed out on the pepper voting. What was the outcome?
I vote Pepper stays. Then, on occasion when I cuss and point out someone's ignorance I seem pretty mild.
