Celebration Weekend Recap
It's Monday again. How do they keep coming faster? Did you get a lot done this weekend or spend it getting into mischief? We started off the weekend right with a Friday night viewing of Spaceballs to honor the newly released news of Spaceballs 2 . It was kind of funny because all I could hear during the movie were the times my dad laughed at certain parts when we went to see it in theaters. I'm glad I have a few good memories like that of him. Several weeks ago, the Mr saw some travel article about an old school donut shop he wanted to go to sometime. (We're suckers for the old school places over the decorate a crappy cake donut places.) This was how he wanted to celebrate his well earned victory on his test last Thursday. We were on the road pretty early. I knew it was supposed to rain in the morning but we didn't care for the dubious looking clouds. It went from ominous to sheeting rain: It got to 5 ft visibility at one poin...
I thought you were crazy when you first told me about this combo, but then I tried it. Wow is it good! I suppose the only weird combo I bring to the table is I like to eat pretzels with orange juice. Just pop a few pretzels in your mouth and swig some juice and let it all melt together. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything "weird" that I eat, because if it was weird I wouldn't eat it right?
ReplyDeleteI like honey in my coffee and I don't know anyone else who does, but I know that's not really uncommon. I dislike smooth mashed potatoes, I want them to have chunks of potato in them, and if there's corn I can mix in I'm even happier. When my son was a toddler he liked to dip his bananas in ranch dressing, but I never felt the desire to try that.
I do like mashed potatoes and corn a lot, as well as the occasional bologna sandwich with sweet pickles on it. That combo is just really good in a way regular pickles aren't.
ReplyDeleteJust remembered something my mom used to eat for years at the movie theater... Junior Mints and popcorn together.
ReplyDeleteI like Reese's Pieces in my movie popcorn - I have a friend who prefers M&M's in hers - but I think that's awful. We always put ketchup on scrambled eggs when I was a kid but now ketchup is totally yuck to me in any capacity (although I have no other issues with tomatoes - go figure). I'm intrigued by A-1 on cottage cheese - I'll have to give that a try.
ReplyDeleteMy kids all eat a lot of ranch dressing, on all kinds of normal things like veggies, which is not weird here, but it is in other countries. No ranch, many other places.
ReplyDeleteAnd too much liquid for carry on luggage to take a bottle when they go, as house gift. I guess they could take powdered mix.
Ditto with peanut butter. Hard to find American version in a lot of other countries.
Mayo and parmesan sandwich. It comes from living in a college dorm without a car and being too far from the nearest grocery store. I also ate a lot of instant rice with canned green beans, canned pineapple and ham.
ReplyDeleteI'm very intrigued by your cottage cheese and A1 combo. I know cottage cheese is a great way to get low fat protein but I can never get through a pint before it molds. Never thought of using mixers. I may have to give it a go.
Bread and butter pickle slices on chunky peanut butter, on whole grain toast, drizzled with maple syrup. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love potato chips and cottage cheese! My husband gives me a hard time about putting A-1 on a good steak. I always tell him it's not that the steak needs it, it's just that I like A-1. I'd never ask for it in a nice steakhouse though.
ReplyDeleteI like to dip fast food french fries in a thick vanilla shake. So delicious! (Currently I'm not eating fast food of any kind, but back in the day....) Of course in Nebraska where I live, it is common place to serve cinnamon rolls with a bowl of chilli.
ReplyDeleteA1 and cottage cheese is the best!!!!!!
