What's everybody's current obsession?
Mine is South Carolina mustard-style barbeque sauce. Ever since I made some from scratch, I can't stop trying to find BBQ restaraunts which serve Carolina style BBQ sauce, and then try to compare it to mine.

I'm happy to admit my foray into Carolina style BBQ resulted in some of the best cooking I've ever personally done. Which explains why it is my current personal obsession.

(Not any BBQ mind you, but South Carolina mustard style BBQ!)

1. Heart-attack inducing, really bad chicken casserole.
The "recipe" calls for Lay's potato chips. :scared:

2. Music, searching for franchises (the computer one didn't..
work out, so I have some other possibilities.) Politics is always high on my list.

15. I understand why
The samples are so catchy! It's called twee, but it's certainly good twee.

19. Well they've only got two studio albums and a couple of EPs.
I like their new album best I think, which is the album that "Hunting For Witches" is on.

10. Baseball. Nothing but baseball.
Football seems really boring right now, and I can't even FORCE myself into getting into hockey. I've been reading a ton on-line about baseball history over the past month, and it just gets more and more interesting every time I read something new.

24. From the looks of your avatar, I can see why....
Anticipating a sweep of the Indians/Sox in the series? Rockies are definetly the "team of destiny" this year.

Of course, my two teams are the Orioles and Marlins. What a depressing season I had.

13. Well, I don't think you can claim that everybody has a new obsession.
Certainly, the country goes through fads, and even individual communities.

But there is no current obsession for everyone.

Me, personally, have been kind of obsessed with perfecting the cooking of a duck.

17. Eat 'n Park's Orchard Pie
OMG is it good! It has apricots, cherries, and peaches and a nice flaky crust. It has a strong flavor of vanilla, too. It's heavenly.
