I have this love/hate relationship with him. One one hand, I love watching triple D and have gone to a few of those places without disappointment. On the other hand, the repetition of his catchphrases and the meme that he has become is so overdone. And, yet, he still isn’t an unwatchable shithead, like Bobby Flay.

I have had a pair of white Jordans for maybe 7 to 10 years. I don’t wear them anywhere except poker night once a year and my fantasy football draft. That’s it. All indoor activities.

We got to see a live cooking demonstration from him about a decade or so ago. My wife asked a question, and he gave an answer that she still uses in the kitchen today (just last night she used the information). Afterwards, he autographed one of his cookbooks and gave it to my wife.

“My stars.”

Timber and Papa John’s pizza? This must be like the Pepsi Challenge, but for beavers and termites.  They can’t tell the difference!

Or, maybe: Lazy, I

Hmmm.... that would be me, but my god-like abilities to not tie my shoes and take naps is real.

The reincarnation of Pizza The Hut has returned, eh? Lone Starr best be looking out.

Reminds me of the time my uncle had squirrels or something (pretty sure he told me squirrels) constantly eating his tomatoes from his plants on the back porch. So, he switched out one of the plants with a habanero plant. Later, on his back porch he heard the commotion and went to see the squirrel flopping all over the…

Moral of the story: No matter what you eat, you will still die.

I grew up similar, but with real milk in some better, later years of my childhood. I hated milk. One day, late in my teens, I had whole milk. HOLY SHIT! That’s some good stuff. I didn’t hate it at all.

Anemia?  Just guessing.

Kalamatas are too salty for this.  She does black sliced.  It’s just a version of pasta salad that’s easy to make/eat.

My wife does a summer-like pasta salad. It’s spaghetti noodles, cucumber slices, olives, red onions (I eat around these), diced tomato, and, of course, Italian dressing. Needs to be cooled in the fridge before eating.  The cucumber slices make it feel cool.

Now I’m thinking about going to Blaze for lunch.

Phad Thai. Man, that shit was inedible. I was learning how to make it, one of my first attempts, when we had the aroma right. When you are hungry enough, like really hungry, the first bite tastes okay. Then, a few bites in, the real flavor starts to set in. Ugh.

And now, Teams That Are Frauds, USL edition.

I now have a name for it. Thanks!

There is one out there that my wife tried with brined pepperoncini and some ranch dressing mix. Per my request, she is adding more pepperoncini and a little of the brine from the jar. She reduced the amount of ranch packet mix due to saltiness (speaks a lot, as she salts the hell out of everything).  I love it!

I grew up on military bases.  My best advice is don’t get a shitty job where a uniform is required and you have to hear blowhards talk all the damn time.  That’s just my perspective on this.
