i like just about all of them... though i'm not sure about the garlic. i have a major weakness for dipping fries in mayonaise - especially big, starchy ones that are more potato than fry. not the healthiest habit. i also go for ketchup, honey mustard, sweet and sour sauce (i used to love mcdonald's). next time i make fries (oven fries, of course), i'll have to try the honey thing, too.
mmmmm.

Jaime, have you ever mixed mayo and thousand island dressing and dipped your fries in it? Good stuff!
I always dipped my McD fries in the sweet and sour sauce! (Now I keep Kosher...haven't done this in years. But it was sooo yummy!!) My fam used to tease me for it. Wish I could've told them what a trend it was then  
Mayo w/ fries....like tartar sauce! I dipped my fries at TGI Friday's in the tartar sauce my shrimp came with (before I kept Kosher). LOL
Dips are fun 
Wait one more: I used to dip my soft pretzels in marinara sauce and my hard ones in mustard or honey mustard.
Ok...I'm getting hungry. I miss all this stuff  Have some for me?

Awww Michelle *hugs* We gotta get you better!!
Well, it's day 4. It's getting pretty bad! The cravings are well...overwhelming  We're allowed fresh juices. I might get some today.
It's going ok. I do get nauseous sometimes. But I have a hideous rash (perhaps from the meds...but I've had them before I started the meds for years now. It comes and goes. They're welts and they are just horrid! Some nights I actually wake up itching  ). Anyhow, the nausea could be from anything?? I am still pretty C so it might be from that? I wonder though if it could be from detoxing and geting all the junk out of my system?
Nausea is just awful. I think it should begone from this world!!!
There.
Seriously...feel better! And thanks for asking (sorry for such a long, rambly response  )
Love ya back

Actually, I can tolerate RICE VINEGAR without a problem! There's a rather low acidity to it. I don't have a problem with balsalmic most of the time, either.
Give me a processed mainstream dressing, mayo, and it's attack city.
Generally, I just season with sea salt and herbs.
I don't have a problem with organic stoneground mustard. Give me French's and it's big trouble, lately.
My favourite herb to season potatoes with it probably CHEVRIL. I like FINE HERBS (tarragon, parsley, chives). I also enjoy DILL. Sometimes I toss in a tiny sprinkly of poppyseeds (yes, OPIATES!!!). I'm in love with an organic dijon at the moment that contains cinnamon in it. Blended with a few herbs & a splash of vinegar it's wicked! No kickback, either. Oh, how could I forget--potatoes are divine with nutmeg--especially if accompanied by spinach. I love HERBES DE PROVENCE, too. I think the lavender makes it positively intoxicating.
Ketchup, though--rarely a good thing. I actually used to love this Thai Chilli Garlic Sauce
Sometimes (okay, often), my tummy feels a lot better with a splash of vinegar--JUST NOT WHITE VINEGAR or MALT VINEGAR.
I read that a splash of vinegar or lemon/lime (acidity) helps make calcium & other nutrients more available to the body to absorb.
Generally, though, any kind of bottled/jarred product disagrees with me. I always end up ditching them. Fat free Raspberry vinagrette & French dressing are mere memories!

I just told my husband this morning that I want to find the CURE for nausea!!! LOL!!!
I hate it more than anything in this world!  I can deal with the pain, gas and cramps......and even the D! I cannot deal with the nausea, at all.
I want to find something that works 100%, 100% of the times I use it.
Everything I have now is a hit and miss kind of thing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does nothing at all! I HATE NAUSEA, RUCH!!! Please make it stop!!!
I'm so nauseated right now......nothing is working! I'm taking Emetrol, Rescue Remedy, chamomile tea, (can't do peppermint or ginger b/c of GERD). Lets see. What else? Cold rag, I don't know what else to do.
I have some Xanax but I haven't taken any of it, yet. Should I break it out?? Would it make my nausea worse?? 
I Love you, Ruch!! Thanks for trying to help me!! I wish you felt better too!! What are you doing for the nausea??? I cannot deal with this all day long.....

Can you take Gravol? That actually works for awhile, i.e. 4-6 hours. It might make you a bit tired. But it really does work. I've been doing that, lately. They're great for airplane trips/motion sickness too, by the way. It's basically an anti-histamine.
Having a rough day--5 Pepto. caps. Uggh.

What is it?? I was so nauseous (not 100%) these past few days!
Do you get gravol at the pharmacy or is it a perscription?
Nausea begone!!!!

No prescription is necessary. Yes, you can get it at a pharmacy.

I don't know if I can take it (anti-histimines upset my stomach) or not, but I will order some of it. They don't have it in the states. I have to get it from the Canada pharmacy that I bought the Diovol plus from. The Diovol Plus is AWESOME for the acid reflux but it doesn't do a thing for my nausea! Thanks for the tip on the Gravol, Kate! If it works, I will owe you my life!!! I'm not even kidding. The only "true" anti-nausea we have in the states is Emetrol and it doesn't work AT ALL!!! And it's full of fructose so it gives me instant reflux. We have anti-histimines that say they work for motion sickness but not "true nausea", from any ailment. Like Dramamine....is it like Dramamine??
I was lying in bed for 4 hours, nauseated, nothing I did helped. I was thinking to myself that there is a pill for everything these days. Noone should have to live through Nausea like I did, today.
There has to be a cure! A cure that works 100%, 100% of the time, you know! Just like there should be a cure for IBS. It's freaking 2005 and they haven't come out with a cure for IBS, yet, sooo many people have it!!! It's like cancer. Hell, they're closer to finding a cure for cancer right now than they are for IBS!!!! GRRRRR.....this just makes me mad!! We should be at a point where we can just pop a pill and be done with it. Get on with our lives.....Sorry, I'm venting!!!
I need to finish my chemistry degree just to find the cure for nausea. I'm only lacking 6 credits.....oy... I cannot handle nausea. It's the worst feeling in the world!!!
Anyway, 4:00 rolled around and I bounced back, felt fine....ate some millet, felt okay. Not the best but it digested okay. No nausea....Whoo Hoo!!! Man, what a day!
I hope you get to feeling better soon and I'm going to check out that Gravol. I just found it online and they said they cannot send more than 1 package at a time. What's the deal with that??? I hope it works!!!
Does it upset your stomach??? Most anti-histimines upset my stomach. I will hope it doesn't!!!
You're the bomb, Kate! Thanks a ton!
*HUGS*
