Timelies all!
Went to the dentist for my regular checkup/cleaning. My teeth are fine, but my gums have problems. Agreed to use a new system that's supposed to help with gum problem. Expensive, and insurance doesn't cover it. It better damn well make my gums better.
I had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, and then an apple for lunch.
This Lunch Was Brought to you by the Year 1951.
I guess I should wash it down with Bosko or something, and eat a Hydrox.
I believe it's time for a "salad" made of a square of Jello on a piece of lettuce, topped by a glob of salad dressing, David.
topped by a glob of salad dressing,
Thousand Island? Or the rarely seen anymore "French" dressing?
There used to be French dressing but now it's gone. But now we have Ranch. This is the balance of the Saladverse.
Isn't the "salad dressing" in jello salad actually Miracle Whip? Or is that just me?
It is so windy out! And 20 degrees colder than when I left for work this morning. I'm glad I knew that ahead of time.

I think you're right.
I'll never get over the shock of looking down a menu in London in the late eighties and seeing the listing for a salad: a wedge of iceberg with egg mayonnaise.
"Egg mayonnaise"! It was weirdly endearing, like they were so proud of it. Though it also had the whiff of car ads which used to natter on about "rack and pinion steering" as if it were some genius new innovation they'd just come up with in 1982.
Hey, drive-by post here, sorry. Just want to say thanks for the kind words about my Celebrity Apprentice review, and that my wife and I got a kick out of JZ's Matilda story.

It was really funny, Hayden. Good job. It seemed to get a lot of positive response in the comments too.
Daisy Jane, I would love your take on this King Cake recipe.
Authentic or not, it is tasty, and my co-workers love it. I'm just curious to know if it passes muster or if it's as infuriating to you as the NY Times' recipe for Gooey Butter Cake was to me.
Traditional king cake doesn't have a filling but bonus points for the Steen syrup.
