Mmmm, brown gravy and fries. I first heard of that when I saw the movie DINER and immediately tried it at the local greasy spoon (the late Charlie's Cafeteria in Kenmore Square, where Myles Standish Hall went when there was a 3 am fire alarm) - it was teh YUM!
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

My husband, when he was a small child, would go to the Zellers (discount department store in Canada) restaurant with his mom and ask for "fies gavy peas". (translation: Fries with Gravy Please). I had a similar experience going to the Sears restaurant with my mom. As a result, fries with gravy is comfort food for us. Probably not a good thing.

I can't imagine why you'd think that. Unless you think the lack of cheese is a problem?

Nora, yes, I've just been really terrible about keeping up with things. I have an evite from Kristin I've got to get around to responding too. Thanks for the heads up, though.

Nothing like having a hurricane named after one to show that yes, it is possible to mispronounce that name.

Emily, I'm not quite sure HOW to mispronounce your name. Honestly.
