"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I just ate a pulled barbque chicken sandwich. But maybe I should have another before I go out to get something like potato skins.

I blame all of you.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have never eaten sushi. It does not appeal to me. At all. It's fish. Raw. Ewww. /12

Cindy is dead to me!

What ita said. It doesn't have to be raw. I've had some great grilled eel nigiri. Also, California roll: not raw. And VERY TASTY. I swear.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Don't like bacon(something about the flavor just doesn't appeal to me), but I do like sushi.

Gee, that almost sounds like a statement from the non-sequitor society. (we don't make sense, but we do like pizza)

I like bacon and cheese better than sushi. But both are nice.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

ita, I'm sorry for the nausea and the general feeling lousy. May it dissipate quickly.

Matt, I forgot to say thank you for the Nashville restaurant recs in Minearverse, so thank you. It's on the agenda for dinner, day TBD.

edit: I like bacon AND sushi, though there isn't much I don't like. Except tripe, eww.

Sorry for the ick, ita. All around feel better to you.

I will eat (raw fish) sushi, but I am not a huge fan. I've never raved over sushi - raw fish sushi is the only kind I've had.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Funny thing is, I have TGIFriday potato skins in the freezer, since I felt like having bar food a couple of weeks ago, but never ate it.

Maybe that's what I'll have for dinner. It's easy to knock off the bacon while they are frozen.

You're welcome Maria. I think everything there is good, but when they've had coriander-encrusted blue marlin it was particularly memorable.

What is tripe anyway? I wasn't able to recognize an animal source from the dish they showed in Monster-in Law.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

From here: [link]

Tripe is the name given to the stomachs of various animals, but most recipes that call for it intend for you to use beef tripe. Cows have four stomachs, and the first three yield merchantable tripe. Blanket tripe = plain tripe = flat tripe = smooth tripe comes from the first stomach, honeycomb tripe (pictured at left) and pocket tripe from the second, and book tripe = bible tripe = leaf tripe from the third. Honeycomb tripe is meatier and more tender than the other kinds and considered to be the best, but all these kinds of tripe can be used interchangeably in recipes. Tripe is almost always sold bleached and partially cooked. This saves a lot of work, since unprocessed tripe would need to be cooked for many, many hours to make it tender enough to chew.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

mmm....stomach...

I've got to say, I have little or no interest in "variety" meats.
