If anyone is looking for coconut M&M's
I recently bought some at a local 7-Eleven, so that's another place to check out if you're looking.
Posting calories on menus
I like having that information available right there, as I might be out dining on impulse or lacking access to a computer to plan out my meal. It's up to you to do something with the information or not, but it's good to have as much information as we can. It's great to have this info on canned and prepared foods, so what's the difference? It's merely informing the customer; it doesn't force your hand.
"Straight out of the Can" -- What do you eat this way?
Beans. I have a slow cooker I could use more often, but I do like the convenience of canned beans. Sometimes I just snack on them right out of the can.
Tuna and sardines as well.
Which way around do you cook?
I do it both ways. Sometimes I will buy what's needed for a recipe, but if it contains many ingredients I won't use often (and would waste otherwise), then I often just make some substitutions and tweak the recipe to my liking. I find it more fun to get in the kitchen and be creative than to just follow recipes, anyhow.
