Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
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!!!!!!
