The Mayor ,'End of Days'
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.
See, I just can't put potato in a sandwich. I think I have very firm ideas about where potatos should go.
I always put some of my fries on the burger or chicken sandwich or whatever. Same if I've got chips (potato or tortilla).
And now I want fish and chips. And curry fries.
Yeah, we're such internationalists. The whole metric thing was so controversial ::thirty years ago::
Yeah, and before you had the metric system you had imperial gallons, which made buying gas slightly confusing.
You and your metric system...
When typing my former posts describing the chocolate-milk baggies I seem to be obssessed with today, I wanted to describe their size. The automatic way was "a quarter of a liter", but then I had no idea how to translate that, so I just said "small enough to hold", which is supposed to be more international.
Hil and Nilly, did you two ever meet up, when Hil was in Israel? I've either forgotten, or missed it, or nobody said.
So yeah, we don't have milk in baggies here. But why on earth would the mom be appalled? People are so lame. Like my friend asking me if some street snack was "safe to eat." Um, how do you think they stay in business?
Raquel, this site [link] looks like it has a lot on making your own baby cereals.
Hil and Nilly, did you two ever meet up, when Hil was in Israel? I've either forgotten, or missed it, or nobody said.
No, sadly. We talked on the phone for awhile, but bus schedules were conspiring against us actually meeting up. We'll see each other next time I'm in Israel, definitely. (Hopefully, that'll be next summer.)
The automatic way was "a quarter of a liter", but then I had no idea how to translate that, so I just said "small enough to hold", which is supposed to be more international.Since a liter is just a little more than a quart(er of a gallon), I think the chocolate milk baggies would be roughly equivalent to a half-pint, I think, and/or a "cup" (8 fluid ounces) of milk. This is the size our milks are packaged in, for schools, only in mini paper cartons, rather than bags.
Yeah, and before you had the metric system you had imperial gallons, which made buying gas slightly confusing.
Buying gas in the states is still confusing as a result of that, because the imperial gallon is a secondary reference. Of course, we had imperial gallons -- hello, empire!
Quarter of a liter ~= a cup, which is the size of boxes of milk, I think.
Are they refrigerated, Nilly? It's sounds like not, if you can carry them around with you. I bet that was the "problem".
