More on mayo, and my mother's cooking - she always served Jell-O with mayo. Is that an Iowa thing or a Depression-era thing, or what?
It's a '50s Midwestern thing. My grandmother did that. Jell-O with mayo on one limp piece of iceberg lettuce is a "salad." Jell-O with whipped cream is a "dessert." Neither is anything I ever want to see again.
Fries w/ ranch dressing = the best.
yes, especially if they also include melted cheese and possibly bacon.

I-- I-- I don't know what to say.
I had the best fish and chips of my life in Reykjavík. But I haven't been to England yet, so there may be better out there. Hard to imagine, though.
My mom's a terrific cook. But she got sick of doing it for her 45+ years of married life, and now it's pretty much restaurants or frozen dinners at my folks'. Dad's not a bad cook, either.
I doubt Rove will be found guilty of breaking the law, but it's nice that it's out there.
Shame that the DCI is now a Bush toady, or the CIA would be able to refuse identifying personnel to the Administration based on this. Still, it will be kind of funny if, after Rove is found innocent and made into some kind of hero for this, he contracts a mystery case of flesh-eating virus on his squidgy bits.
Sorry Perkins, I've always had great service from State Farm.
The thing is, if I ever got in an accident, I expect I'd be saying the same thing. It turns out that they never cancelled my renters insurance in Maine, even though I told them to, and now everyone is telling me something other than the truth about what they are doing and going to do about getting the situation fixed and blaming the other agency. I think they are hoping I'll just go away if they run me around enough.
Not going to though.

This was it, exactly. The worst was green Jell-O with shredded cabbage, pineapple chunks, and sliced green olives suspended in it, topped with a dollop of mayonaisse.
I remember a girl in high school who used to dip her fries in mayo. That still perplexes me. Does anyone here do that?
I have done it with fries and oh, my the YUM.
But I love curry fries the best. I think of those as Irish pub food. Don't know if they are anywhere else.
The only current use I have for mayo is fries, although I never bother in the US. Montreal is a different story.
The Fat Duck?
That's it. Best restaurant in the world, apparently.
Karl Rove should go to prison for treason, no?
Yeah, potatoes are so starchy, there's really no mixing them with other starches. It puts a whole new spin on redundancy.
Redundancy, heh. A chip butty is awesome comfort food. Of course, the rolls are so much better over there. It is worth getting up early and getting to the baker's first thing, then hurrying home to have a bacon sandwich (with ayrshire bacon) while the rolls are still warm.
