Convenience Store Blues Tweet Ah, the old jokes are sometimes the best. And any time you can make a punchline that involves gas, you know you have the junior high vote.
Served Upside Down Tweet It was kind of interesting thirty years ago when the people at DQ would turn your Blizzard upside down before serving it to you. Now, it just strikes me as weird. Like, “Yeah, cool, hand me my ice cream!”
What a Hairy Party Tweet I was reading about the Whig Party and how they were formed partly from refugees from the Anti-Masonic Party. That seems like an oddly specific party, especially now that I’m so used to political parties being so general they stand for little to nothing.
Not Good for Who? Tweet I just think this is how dogs would react to such news if they could. It’s how I feel like reacting to news I don’t like, anyway.
Edible Nacho Bowls Tweet In my experience, the ones that are SUPPOSED to be edible usually aren’t. Looks good, though. Now, serving ice cream in the carved out bowl of a cantaloupe? THATS’s the way to go!
Vintage Food II Tweet Ever dig through your freezer and find something you can’t remember serving? Worse, you forgot to label it and it could be steak, shrimp or pancakes for all you can tell.
Vintage Food Tweet This came out of a conversation with a family member about restaurants and how they all have SO MANY menu options now. We were remembering restaurants from long ago that served, basically, one thing. Maybe a variant or two on that thing.
Eating Skills Tweet The other day I was at a pizza place with my son and he pointed out a lady at a nearby table who was eating her pizza with a knife and fork. I know there’s no moral or civil law against such things, but it sure gets your attention! Okay, mine, anyway.
Going Dutch Tweet Do people still use the phrase “going dutch”? If so, the Dutch don’t seem to be the kind of people to get offended to such things. And where did it come from. Are the Dutch really known for not sharing tickets?
More Aunt Infestations Tweet In a case of life imitating art, we have had a terrible ant infestation at our house lately. So we called the exterminators. Like last time, the ants got worse for a couple days before going away. Makes me wish it was an aunt infestation.
