Natter 36: But We Digress...
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I loved the episode of American Dad when the dad was running for deacon of his church and he brought Rove in for the election. When he got to the door of the church, he just stood at the door and couldn't cross the threshold. When he left, he dispersed into a bunch of bats and flew away. It's the the closest I've ever seen anyone come to capturing the essense of Karl.
I do mayo on fries. I also like to mix the ketchup and mayo. And I love cheese fries with spicy ranch dressing. If it's fatty, I'll basically eat it on fries.
So I came here to ask. I couldn't google a picture of that sort of baggie (no Hebrew on this computer...), so I'm afraid I can't explain myself any better that this.
Bags of juice that one punctures with a straw are pretty common here. I don't know why someone would find a bag of milk so odd, I haven't seen bags of milk, but I wouldn't think it would be odd if I did. There's the juice precedent.
If he didn't know she was covert, then he wouldn't be guilty. I doubt that he could be found guilty.
Plus, I think that since he sold his soul, Satan is obligated to intervene on his behalf.
Nilly, we call it tahini.
Also, the closest thing to a milk bag I think we have is this pouch thing, but you poke a hole through it with a straw. [link]
There was an indian-american diner here (exactly as such. Traditional indian meals are right next to meatloaf sandwiches and subs on the menu) that puts french fries into certain dishes.
I think it has been closed. Or actually, demolished. I'm not too upset. I never got why people liked it so much. I found most things there meh, if not actually bad. It wasn't good indian food and it wasn't good diner food.
It's absolutely yummy this way! But not just the fries and the pita - there should be fresh vegetables choped to a salad in there to, as well as humus and tehina (I have no idea what is its English name).
I don't think those have English names, really. I just checked the jar of tehina I've got, and it says "Sesame Paste" in little letters, but I've never heard anyone refer to it that way other than as a way of explaining it.
The two things that seemed to be common on Israeli falafel that I haven't really seen here were the fries and the hot sauce. Humus, tehina, and salad are generally the extent of toppings for falafel places in the US. The veggies here are usually just tomatoes, cucumber, and sometimes lettuce. I liked the eggplant option -- it was yummy. Still unsure about the fries, though. (Also unsure about the pickles, but I just don't really like pickles anyway.)
The only place I'm used to seeing milk sold in bags is Canada, but they're gallon-sized, not individual.
[eta: I've never seen fries in a falafel sandwich here, but I can think of at least three places within walking distance of my office that put hot sauce on as a default -- you have to ask if you want it left off.]
The worst was green Jell-O with shredded cabbage, pineapple chunks, and sliced green olives suspended in it, topped with a dollop of mayonaisse.
In the '70s and early '80s, someone would bring Watergate Salad to almost every potluck event. It consists of instant pistachio pudding, chopped pineapple, nuts, Cool Whip and miniature marshmallows. The kindest thing you can say about it is that it's green.
See, that stuff about making GTA:San Andreas an adults-only game is just weird to me. Why is showing sex so much worse than showing murder? The M rating was just fine for GTA:Vice City, where as Jars mentioned you can hire, use, and then kill prostitutes...but since they only show the car rocking, it's okay.
I don't know. We finally got Ben a GameBoy this Christmas. We'd avoided all video game things, even though his friends started getting them in kindergarten. So far, all we've let him have are Pac Man, Harry Potter, and Fairly Odd Parents games. We are No. Fun. His cousin, who is seven months older has things like Doom, and whatnot. His parents are "cool." We are No. Fun. Just ask.
Also, Cindy (or anyone) - do you have a recipe for making your own rice cereal for babies? Sugar is the second ingredient in all the store-bought ones here.
I don't. I tended to use Beechnut or Gerber. Ugh. Why they gotta put in the sugar, man?
Dr. Spock says, "A rice cream can be made from whole grain brown rice, and put through a hand food mill." That's all he says, but it sounds simple enough, if you have a food mill, and can cook whole grain brown rice.
Nilly, I found this and this . When I googled chocolate milk, bag and Israel.
