They couldn’t get gone fast enough. I had to insist on making them breakfast. They said they would get something on the road. Whatever. Sorry to hear but at least that great meat wont go to waste. During this lockdown, and the fact I am single, I have on several occasions cooked a whole roast, different types of meat, just for myself So I eat it for lunch on Sunday or Saturday and then I have delicious leftovers for sandwiches for the next 3-5 days so nothing is wasted 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Amentep Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Fruits aren't gendered. It doesn't take away from the possibility that oblong watermelons vs round being sweeter (that does seem to hold true from what I've read), but why not just say "oblong" vs "round" rather than "male" vs "female"?

BruceVC Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Weekend brings much joy and revelry which translates in this time of lockdown to English Breakfast time. Today I am cooking eggs, ham ( no bacon ), pork sausage, toast and an onion and tomato salsa mix So its basically another healthy, almost Vegan breakfast again. I say almost Vegan because I am including ham, eggs and pork sausage so its not completely Vegan ....but its the thought that counts "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

ShadySands Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 In-N-Out opened a location a few minutes from my house so I'm having that.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 The In-N-Out close to me has calmed down quite a bit to the point going is actually feasible. The burger is really good (assuming you get it animal style, otherwise it's missing something) but the fries ain't all that and the shakes aren't anything to write home about. Anyways I went to Freebirds and had a brisket burrito bowl. Pretty good.

Gromnir Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 if you do not order your burger animal style, at the very least add the following phrase to any burger order: mustard-grilled. and yeah, the fries is kinda uninspired.

ShadySands Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I get double doubles animal style and then I take the pickles off and throw them as hard as I possibly can. I can't do pickles on burgers for reasons of taste, fashion, and sanity but I also find it hard to just ask for no pickles. I'm complicated. I'm also not very big on fries.

Gromnir Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) as a former resident o' iv and a frequent visitor at the original freebirds location, we will observe how the order o' a brisket burrito bowl from a freebirds is, from our pov, an offense against the food gods. the original el freebird's location were having an order counter and indoor seating along the window capable o' handling five customers. tiny. bright white. spartan. good burritos, but honestly, size were the main appeal. we do like pickles on our usual order from in n' out: double-double animal style. different strokes. HA! Good Fun! ps the iv nostalgia piece leaves out the egghead, one o' our top three all-time breakfast joints, and am gonna quibble 'bout woodstock 'cause that were the pizza location if you wanted cheap beer, and Gromnir don't drink. giovanni's pretty much won best iv/sb pizza every year for more than a decade, and while it weren't great pizza, it were much better than woodstock's. aside: sam's to go default were heavy-handed with the pickles. pps 'course now am thinking o' our favorite berkeley eateries...

Thats interesting, I didnt realize that. I thought you Americans just called Tomato sauce Ketchup We use Tomato sauce extensively on chips and with fish and most meals. So in almost all breakfast restaurants, like the Wimpy franchise, you find a bottle of Tomato sauce on the table. I always forget the distinction in the USA when I have been their and I remember my last visit in Vegas I was at the MGM food court and I asked the table next to me " if they finished with the tomato sauce could I use it " .....they looked at me confused and then someone said "oh, he means the Ketchup " Their are several brands in SA but this is what is the best overall https://www.defarmer.co.za/product/all-gold-tomato-sauce-700ml/ "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
