I’m curious if you were led to The Prisoner after watching Severance? I feel like there are a lot of similarities, or at least influences. Recently. :D

No Big Belly Burger or CC Jitters?

I’ve had ostrich, and weirdly it’s more like beef pot roast than chicken. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t be breaded and fried, though!

We sent Martha Stewart to prison for some small-time insider trading. We can surely put this MF away for a while for his many much worse crimes.

I feel like you could go all-in on the BLT and chop up bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and a little finely shredded lettuce. Mix it all up with some mayo and put it between two slices of toasted sandwich bread. If I hadn’t already just eaten lunch, I’d be really hungry now thinking about this.

Something I have a lot with lunch at work is raw broccoli/cauliflower/carrots with salt, pepper, and drizzles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Also a mix of blueberries and raspberries, treated the same way. It’s amazing how good berries are with those traditionally savory add-ons.

How about tater tots? That sounds pretty great on a salad to me right now.

A few years ago we bought a fairly cheap little chest freezer. I measured it and found a metal 3-shelf rack online that fits inside and really helps keep it more organized. The alternative was just piling things inside and having to dig for them any time we wanted something.

Agreed on the paper vs. plastic. I’m in the southern half of Illinois, where we still grow peaches, though not as many as we once did. I planted a peach tree in my yard two years ago, so I’m hoping to have some of my own eventually. I planted a couple of apple trees, too. There are still a lot of apples grown in the…

Along those lines, putting a banana in a paper bag with something like an avocado or tomato will help ripen those things quicker, too.

Mediterranean one was good. Possibly the healthiest thing ever offered from the major fast food chains.

All of Wendy’s salads are pretty dang good. My favorite is the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad. I’ve spent way too much time thinking about that salad, and it’s practically perfect in every way. Every component of it contributes at least two elements to the taste or texture. Salty, sweet, crunchy, spicy, creamy, savory,…

Well, my daily driver is already my 2004 SRT-4 Neon. Bought it new, now at 240K miles. Just added some subtle classy stripes when I had it repainted.

It sounds like the guy was still a dumbass, but I have to admit it is easy for me to mentally confuse Ecotec and Ecoboost unless think about it for a second.

tunneling hours upon hours of food television

The food on the plane was great. I’m a big fan of a Turkish breakfast: typically something like olives, cheese, bread, egg, tomato, and hummus. Really delicious and satisfying. Turkish Airlines also has free tours of Istanbul during your layover, if it’s long enough. My wife and I really wanted to do that, and it fit…

Even in a group of a lot of big airports, Istanbul is huge. Besides the things mentioned, there’s an enormous mall, all still within the security area. If I remember correctly, there are 6 Burger Kings in the airport! I think I measured on the map that from one end of the terminal, through the mall, and to the other…

I like really crunchy stuff, but I agree that it seemed to be especially harder and drier along with the increase in salt.

Easy for me; it was a Honda Element. I was part of a volunteer media crew that followed the 2006 One Lap of America, taking photos, sticking video cameras on cars, and doing interviews. There were four of us in an Element for 10 days and about 4000 miles. Pro: There is an amazing amount of leg room in the back. Con:…

Looking forward to trying these. I like the original recipe spices. I used to like the popcorn chicken, but it seems like it’s gotten really salty the past couple of years.
