Scoop of Turkey Hill "moose tracks" with a pop tart, preferably blueberry.

For a while, sweet chile Doritos (damn you Colbert) but seems to have
dissipated. Though ex thinks I still like them and keeps bringing me little
bags when she visits. Have 3 or 4 in the cupboard unopened. They were good
in a sandwich to make it crunchy.

Uh... What's guilty about that?

Neither are hamburgers. Usually, every Saturday morning Becca and I
skip breakfast and go grocery shopping. We usually hit at least two
stores. On the way home we stop at Whataburger
http://www.whataburger.com/ and have burgers for breakfast... usually
around 10 AM. That becomes breakfast and lunch for the day.

It strikes me that one of the differences between being in your 60's and
in your teens is that when you are in your teens, you hang out at burger
joints at 10 o'clock at night. In your sixties, it is 10 o'clock in the
morning.

Overheard a conversation at Whataburger a few weeks ago where he store
manager was telling a customer that Whataburger is seriously looking
into selling bottles of their ketchup in grocery stores. It is OK
ketchup, but nothing I would go out of the way to buy.

I like the tubs for dipping french fries but I would prefer bulk
dispensers.

I've never eaten there. They do have one in this state but it's not near
here. We do have Bob's. They put a smallish glass bottle on each table.
It's plenty enough for two people but if you have very many more than that
at your table, it just isn't enough for a ketchup lover. And it's hard to
get out. Also unlike the "real" ketchup bottles made of glass, it has a
super wide opening. So as you can imagine, it won't come out and it won't
come out and then when it suddenly does, you get half the bottle on your
plate.

The place that really shocked me was Outback Steakhouse. Instead of giving
you a bottle of ketchup they give you a dinky little cup of it on your
plate. Certainly wasn't enough for me!

GeorgeL.,

LOL!!! Funny observation :-)))

Whataburger is definitely South regional. From PA the closest
is in Georgia. Not exactly a day trip.

Best,

Andy


That's strange, the "store locator" tells me I'd have to go to Florida to
find a Whataburger! Also not a day trip

So ask for extra ketchup! Me, I don't like ketchup. (Sorry Stan, wherever
you are!) It's a waste of money (theirs and the consumers) to bring
condiments to a table if no one is going to use them. In my case they'd
just wind up throwing that little cup of ketchup away. I don't eat out very
often but when I do I go out of my way to tell the server not to bother
bringing me that little cup of [name your condiment] because it will go to
waste.

I've never been to Outback Steakhouse so I don't know if it's an "ambiance"
thing or not, but apparently they don't like having bottles of ketchup on
the table. So just ask the server to bring you more. No biggie.

I'm sure you are correct that asking for more of a condiment would work.
I wouldn't go back again if it failed!

It will be a while before I am in my 60's,not that there is anything
wrong with that. I will admit, I am not wild about going out a night. I
want to see Seven Psychopaths and the only time it is showing, is at
9:30pm. I usually not off around 10:00.

I makes little sense to take the time getting dressed, driving to a
movie, and buying a ticket that costs more than two days groceries if
there's a very good chance you will nod off before the coming
attractions are finished, you won't even see ten seconds worth of the
movie, and you won't even have it DVRed for later. Most movies
nowadays put me to sleep anyway, they're missing something the movies
in the olden days had that kept you on the edge of your seat from
beginning to end. I often DVR TV shows in case I fall asleep and
still when I go back to see what I missed I delete the DVR after like
ten minutes, they're all garbage. I subscribed to Netflix a year ago
and to date I've not watched even one movie, I turn them off after a
few minutes, they have to be pretty bad when watching the news is more
interesting... besides, Maria Molina is hotter than any of todays so
called Hollywood sex sirens... I don't even hear the weather, I'm too
focused on her lips, I know when she says "Good morning" I know that
she's talking only to me.

Maybe that's why I took such a liking to McDonald's Sausage McMuffin
so quickly!

I think it's safe to say that everybody likes mooses and bluberries. I'm
sensing a Maine theme.

Deja vu. I just ate some red pepper and tomato soup.

Sometimes I mix it with asparagus, and put parmesan cheese on top.
Delicious.

I always go for the extra slice. No point in starving yourself.

It's not guilty, it's irony.

I preferred the Burger King Croissan'wich... ham, egg and cheese for me,
please. I used to pick one up on the way to work a couple of times a week.

I would usually push 120 for two minutes.

Just fried hot dog nickels for breakfast with eggs this morning.
sometimes I drop the eggs on top of the slices and scramble.

I don't like croissant sandwiches or anything in a biscuit either.
Too "rich" for me.
