Warm childhood memories? Those were Hostess cupcakes, my friend. Not Twinkies.
help yourself, but all we have around here are used naps ...
OFG, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!For those of you who may not know, Ms. OFG had a birfday today.
Yep. It's true. She's #%* now.
Back when I was finishing school in Buffalo, I bartended to pay the bills. The bars there used to serve a sandwich (still do I understand) that consisted of a hand carved roast beef, sliced from a steamship round, and served on a special roll called kummelweck. Kummelweck is kind of like a kaiser roll, but made with kummel (a german caraway seed based liquor with an umlaut [the word "kummel" not the liquor itself]) and topped with kosher salt (the roll, not the liquor). We served it with horseradish and a dill pickle on the side. The bartenders carved the beef. I got so I could cut it so thin you could almost see through it.
Every Friday about a minute before midnight, the Catholics flocked to the bar. I always started slicing ahead.
Eventually I got so sick of roast beef I couldn't eat it for a couple of years after I finally left that job. I'm better now.

Mmmmmm... grits! With butter.
And bacon. Thick sliced, hickory smoked bacon.
And fresh eggs - And hashbrowns.
Haggis! Fellow Buffaloian! Best place by me was Bailo's, hands down, at Lovejoy and Bailey Ave.
Indeed there is.Just checking facts. There's a finishing school in Buffalo, New York?
Can't you tell by my marvelous etiquette?And you attended?
The only things that belong on pizza are cheese and pepperoni. Maybe the occasional sausage or bacon. But that's it. I love shrimp, just not in pizza.I would've been right there. I never minded most Friday fish dishes, but I drew the line on shrimp pizza with pineapple before Friday night at the movies. Ugh!

I agree. Crustaceans and acidic fruit on pizza are desperate attempts to avoid red meat. I'd much rather wait until zero dark thirty on Saturday and go to a Protestant bar serving juicy roast beef.

....The only things that belong on pizza are cheese and pepperoni....
And a Bloody Mary!
OFG Happy Belated Birthday.
Happy belated birthday, OFG!
And grits!I could go for some grits....
I remember carbon paper. Recently I had to explain it to a couple of sweet young things who wondered what that "cc" line stood for, anyway. I told them about the horror of realizing that you'd put it in backwards and now had two unusable pages--one in mirror image, one hard to read because it had stuff all over the back.
They were appropriately awed by how tough life was in the Oldt Days.
... the look on her face was a mixture of amusement and horror.
