This says a lot more about you than it does about drag queens or
transgender people.

Just being honest. That's how I feel and now you know.

"I don't care how weird anyone wants to act" is clearly untrue.

No meat available. The meat workers are refusing to come
to work in a virus environment. Hasn't affected my stores
yet though.

I'm not sure you should make kimchee even after you know what it's
suppose to taste like. I made some in my garage once, and it stunk
up the joint. But it was delicious.

I doubt there's a national brand. My regular grocery store carries
kimchee in a refrigerated case in the produce section. But, y'know,
college town.

One of Canada's largest meat processing plants has shut down for a
couple weeks because so many of the employees have tested positive for
the virus.

I'll try to remember to look for it. At least you've given me an
idea of where to look other than the asian section of shelf
stable items.
 
Of course, first I'll have to remember what to use it with.
Dsi1 can help me out there. Sheldon's use on a hot dog doesn't
sound all that good.

I usually just eat it on the side, like any other pickle.

On topic and I had to google taramasalata. Never heard of

My regular lunch spot serves a dab of it as an amuse bouche.

BYO
 
I wonder if I still have a roll in my car. I used to carry one just in case.
Flattened, in a ziploc, and under my car seat.

It's not really in short supply. When word of the pandemic came out
people ran out and stocked up. It keeps selling out as soon as it is
re-stocked because people are afraid there will be a shortage. I imagine
that when things start to return to normal people won't be buying it for
months because they have so much stocked up at home.

Yeah...I'll bet it will go on a good sale once it's normally
stocked soon. No one will be buying it as they all have a year's
supply by now. heh ehe

the burgers i make at home are much better. why
wouldn't you make a burger for yourself?
 
i can't remember the last time i had a McD's
cheeseburger, but it was some years ago. in
between then and now i've had a few burgers from
other places but can pass on all but a few of them
as places i'd rather go. there is a semi-local bar
that does a good job so we get one from them once
in a while.
 
simple ingredients and simple methods.
 
i like ground chuck for burgers. make a pretty
big patty (8-12oz) about an inch thick. warm up
the cast iron pan, put a bit of butter on it as it
is warming. i use one notch below medium on my
stove and the large burner.
 
sprinkle some garlic salt on one side and put it
on the pan to fry. when it starts sputtering i put
the garlic salt on the other side and turn it over.
 
depending upon the quality of the butcher i adjust
how done i want it. if i've had a good history with
them before i can let it cook until most of the pink
is gone inside and it is still juicy. i put the
cheese on to melt the last minute and turn off the
heat.
 
since i don't eat beef that often i enjoy this
eaten just as it is without condiments. cheese,
garlic salt and beef. about every month or two
is enough to fit my cravings.

Most times I do make my own burgers at home. Just because
I like McD or Burger King whoppers, don't read that
as that's all I eat. They offer a different taste
and I'll buy some maybe once every 4 months or so.

> i can't remember the last time i had a McD's

I only reason I said McD cheeseburger is because
that's what Bruce always says. Their hamburgers
are better than the cheeseburgers...too much cheese
on a small patty.
 
I DO like my own better with all the works. Some
bars serve good ones too. The fast food burgers just
offer a different taste that I like occasionally.
Don't eat them often but I do love them when I do.

I imagine she will get many replies on that one. Even from married men
that only want to be there a couple nights a week.

She and John should get together, seem like there are some
similarities :)

You sound like many young workers these days.
Many are unreliable workers. If they make enough money
one week, next week they just don't show up for work for
a day or two. I've worked with many just like that.
 
In order to never work again, you'd have to get rich.
Once rich, everyone will hate you except relatives
that want to become your best friend.
 
That doesn't count though if you just retire with a
living income.

Yes, I agree that there's more to life than working.
 
Don't go superior on us though. Most of the working world are
"underlings." Many are treated (compensated) quite well.

Be thankful Bruce. Don't look down on those "underlings."
Without them, your comfortable life would cease to exist.

It would be a good alternative to dairy farmers dumping milk
lately. Gov't is handing out money like crazy. They could pay
for that and provide free govt cheese to those that need it.
It did work in the past.

I saw some movie about mostly that. Can't remember the name but
the actress was hot. They ended up escaping their bio-dome and
discovered a real world outside. Not the danger they had been
told about.
