Not long ago I had a massive whopping hamburger from a little fish & chip shop from around the corner. It's run by a Greek family and they're brilliant. Can't beat a well made, home made hamburger so I feel for the Americans here. They mainly seem to eat the mass produced horrible ones :eek:

Well, happy birthday, but don't feel too bad. 50 is the new 30, haven't you heard?
Yes, yes I did hear something to that affect. Of course, it's pure foolishness on my part to be wistful about another day on the calendar. I should not have gotten into that Merlot so early in the day.
Many pardons for all the sturm and drang.
As they used to say when I worked at the cemetery:
"Any day above ground is a good one"

Asparagus makes my pee smell funny.
Just thought that you all would probably want to know that.
Speaking of vegetables and whatnot..........many years ago I used to make a pretty mean vegetable stew type contraption. A pile of us guys would get stuck into it then fart our heads off ala Blazing Saddles all night long
One night we did the stew thing then a few of us went to a pub for a few beers. A bunch of English soldiers came in drunk as skunks as soldiers are wont to sometimes do. They were celebrating someone's birthday. Anyway, I said to the others "watch this" and casually sauntered over to the soldiers and let a long silent one rip, then walked away. Sure enough a couple of minutes later a dozen soldiers were covering their noses and accusing each other of dropping the foul stench and almost got into fisticuffs over it :D

Various cheeses, Italian white bread, olives stuffed with garlic, olives stuffed with almonds, artichokes in olive oil and cold cuts. Strawberries topped with amaretto for dessert and a big mug full of tea with lemon and honey. Then a cheap American-made cigar and a look at Buk.net. Off to bed with some more amaretto. I'm a working class ethnic and this is how we live, every fucking day of the year.

sunflower seeds - roasted not salted - half an avocado, vigin olive oil,

Being ethnic, working class and vegetarian, this is how I like to eat.

I don't know what "ethnic" means, but I am working class, and a used to be vegetarian (for 24 years), and last night I had a Wendy's hamburger and a vanilla shake.
That's how us ex-vegetarian, working class, great, great-grandmother-was-full-blooded-Oglala-Sioux (does that make me ethnic?) types roll, bitch!

No, it does not make you ethnic. (Just answering your question)
Actually, being ethnic is a feeling of being somehow different. I can "pass" as a regular American, right down to my accent and L.L. Bean clothing, but I don't feel that I'm the same as, oh, let's say, a bunch of Episcopalians in New England. Their diet, for one thing, would probably nauseate me. But I've got the jump on them, because I know all about them, and they know nothing about me. Is this pretentious enough for you?
And those Seattle guys and their coffee. How the fuck are some johnny-come-latelies going to tell me anything about "premium coffee" when there were at least 3 espresso machines in my house as I was growing up?
Ditto the Sopranos. That Neapolitan dialect is what I heard in my neighbourhood all my life. Their food is my food. (Mom's a Latin)
Man, I'm rambling!
Stugots! (Actually "stugats" or 'questo cazzo')

I'm no Italian, but my Godmother was.
Belian bread? Don't they use the Euro?
I had Focaccio bread-made from a mix you add 12oz. beer and olive oil to. Pier One.
I didn't have any red bell peppers or tofu. No wine, no guts.

This is not what I had for dinner, but I thought I'd throw this idea out there. This guy at work was telling me his secret for making ribs. First, he boils them in two 2-liters of Coca-Cola (with a shot of Jack Daniels and a touch of Liquid Smoke), then grills them. Right before taking them off, he bastes with BBQ sauce. Sounds pretty awesome to me.
If we get a break in the weather here, I will test this one out and report back.
