The Jr. is my favorite. It has a better-balanced ratio of ingredients than the regular Whopper. I like it best just as it comes, without the cheese. I mean it’s okay with cheese or with bacon added, but it’s better without.

I generally have a cappuccino plus either cheese and olives or plain oatmeal with nuts and dried fruit. I was a guy who liked a lot of butter and sugar on my oatmeal, so it took some getting used to having it this way, but it’s far healthier. My cholesterol is slightly high, and I’m trying to bring it down by eating…

When I was a kid, Do-Si-Dos were called Savannahs. Which became confusing because they later used that name for a completely different cookie. Always been my favorite, though. Pitter Patters were a very good substitute until they were discontinued years ago. Much better than Nutter Butters.

You could get heated and cooled seats with the Titanium trim for significantly less than $40K. The question seems to allow for used as well as new, and that opens up a lot of possibilities.

I think there are quite a few cars with heated and cooled leather seats for less than that? The first thing that came to mind is any recent year Ford Fusion/Mondeo. Actually, one of those fully loaded can be pretty luxurious, and for a lot less than $40K.

HFCS doesn’t bother me. It’s chemically very similar to honey, as far as the proportions of sugars go. Personally, I like pancake syrup that doesn’t use HFCS, only because I think the texture is a little better.

I’m in Illinois, but there are Cook Outs in Atlanta where my daughter and SIL live. We usually try to hit one for at least one meal when we visit. They are also known for their ice cream.

In the early days of the web, about 1995 or so, I was in a meeting at work where my boss wanted to look at a map. Somebody did a search with one of the pre-Google search engines, and brought up usamap.com on the conference room projector. Which turned out to be a porn site.

I’m with you on provel. I’m in Southern Illinois about an hour from St. Louis. While I love thin crust tavern style pizza, if it has provel on it, it’s ruined. My favorite pizza is from Midwest regional chain Monical’s: thin crust pepperoni, mushroom, onion, and green olive. The green olives are critical for the nice…

FWIW, we recently switched to using Pearl Milling Company (formerly Aunt Jemima) pancake mix, and have found it to be really good. It makes a very fluffy and tasty pancake.

Some kind of acid goes good with boiled egg (I guess walnuts are a bit acidic from tannic acid). Sometimes I mix a bit of olive oil and mustard to go on a hard boiled egg, along with salt and pepper. I guess you could called it a quick or deconstructed deviled egg.

I spray my shower head with one of the daily cleaning sprays, as well as the tub spout, handles, and spots around the perimeter of the enclosure. It really helps keep the soap scum down, and makes it a whole lot easier to actually thoroughly clean periodically.

Some quick searching indicates that the U.K. and Denmark have that usage. Elsewhere, variations on the term pig-in-a-blanket mostly refer to pastry-wrapped sausages of various types. In the U.S., sausage roll is usually limited to what we call “breakfast” sausage links. (These are sometimes also called kolaches,…

<shrug> I have never heard anything but pastry-coated hot dogs called pigs-in-a-blanket.

She started some kind of milk chugging TikTok challenge, I think.

Site for the museum is enam.ae

It’s quite an eclectic collection. It wasn't at all busy when we were there, just a handful of other people.

The closest McDonald’s to where I work could be open for dine-in, but has chosen so far to remain drive-through only. I’ve wondered if any fast food places will just stay that way permanently.

I don’t know if it’s 150 feet long, but that engine might fit in this enormous Jeep. I know this looks like an optical illusion, but the Jeep is actually roughly the same distance away as the plane. At an interesting auto museum in the middle of the desert in the U.A.E. They have a giant Dodge Power Wagon, too.

I said, “Isn’t everything edible only edible once.” As in, everything [that is] edible.
