You should make coffee in secret and store it in a thermos.

I knoooooow right. I will do anything to avoid taking pain meds, and caffeine usually works for that, so I manipulated him into making me coffee around 1:30pm for "health reasons."

He makes it in the French press and it's sooo good. Roles are swapped in our house cause the American makes the tea and the Brit makes the coffee.

Emergency coffee stash, love it. I have an emergency ketchup packet stash in my car

I'm trying to imagine the kind of emergency that would require ketchup...

Maybe if you got fries at a fast food place and forgot to ask for some. Or maybe if you need to stain your clothes for some reason.

Posted: **Sun Aug 11, 2013 11:44 pm**

Because it's ketchup! That's why!

And you call yourselves Americans. It's like our national condiment.

I'm a firm believer in the NK-17 rule.

What are you dipping your potatoes in or putting on your burgers (besides mustard)?

For fries, I quite like mixing mayonnaise and mustard together. Sometimes mere malt vinegar is a good choice.

Mustard is usually sufficient for the burger, as it allows me to taste the meat, but sometimes barbecue sauce is a nice touch if I am feeling my Texan roots. Buffalo sauce is an alternative option as well, as is bleu cheese dressing, or simple mayonnaise (which I find goes well with everything.)

There is a whole world of sauces out there more interesting than ketchup.

Okay, okay, let's not paint me as some sort of backwards hick who would pour ketchup all over a perfect prime rib or something (if I ate meat). I think you'd be quite pleased with my collection of non-ketchup condiments. I'm a big fan of flavored aiolis for sandwiches and burgers, and I often dip tofu fingers (yeah yeah) into Buffalo or BBQ or fun mustards.

However, there's sometimes when you just need some ketchup. I have this lovely habanero ketchup that's slamming on this spicy sweet potato tater tots I have. Or if I make breakfast potatoes. There's this local place called Evos that has four kinds of flavored ketchup, including cayenne, mesquite, garlic and lemon, yum. Burger 21 has marshmallow ketchup, Thai ketchup and a ginger option.

Ketchup may not be something I always use, but I feel more safe and secure knowing it's around.

I splurged today and got a little piece of Red Leicester cheese at the store. I do love English cheeses so, although I can't hear "Red Leicester" without thinking of Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch.

Do you like Stilton?

An English pub here is considering adding a Ploughman's to its menu. I am campaigning heavily for them to do so.

Posted: **Mon Aug 12, 2013 1:25 am**

I like White Stilton a lot. The only time I had Blue Stilton I thought it was disgusting, but I think I'd like to try it again, as I have had a great deal more cheese since then and I feel my taste buds are more receptive now than they were at the time.

Posted: **Mon Aug 12, 2013 1:33 am**

Other English cheeses I enjoy include Double Gloucester, Wensleydale and Sage Derby.

My favorite cheese joke follows, although it really doesn't work unless read out loud with the right inflection.

Q: What kind of cheese do you use to lure a bear out of its cave?
A: Camembert!

It took me several tries, but I got it.

Bear is my spirit animal. Open your jacket if you see one approaching.

Chipotle burrito. It was my reward for not freaking out when a horrible accident occurred (see the "Random" thread for details).

Posted: **Tue Aug 13, 2013 4:24 pm**

I just finished a cup of (particularly spicy) shrimp noodles and an apple turnover.

Posted: **Tue Aug 13, 2013 7:37 pm**

I made a chicken velouté with onions, garlic, and potatoes. It was most satisfying.

French mother sauces are hilarious to me, as a southerner. They sound so fancy, yet we call two of them "gravy."

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 6:47 pm**

Tonight, chicken thighs braised in Merlot with brown sugar, paprika, roasted garlic and onions. Served with rice and green beans.

I made two (2) sandwiches.

Cucumber.

P.S. Putting the numeral in parentheses after a written number is always extremely funny to me. I do it a lot.

I had beans and toast

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 5:18 pm**

I had Greek Village salad, some spicy dill pickle chips, half an eclair. YUM.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:35 am**

I had 2 veggie slides and some plain kefir with chia seeds in it.

I do not get the appeal of sliders. It seems like less food but more calories.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:42 am**

I made an omelet with lots of sausage and cheese and it was good. Normally I put in mushrooms but I haven't got any.

I should make early birthday coffee (without milk).

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 3:57 pm**

How early is it? In other words, when are y'all's birthdays?

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 4:07 pm**

In about an hour.

When this thread is at the top of the forum with A Person being the last poster, at first glance it looks to me like, "What Are You Eating? A Person" which always makes me double take and laugh. Post in here a lot, A Person
