Midnight In The Desert

[bellNwhistle]

Yeah, my wife has a kidney infection.  Why couldn’t she schedule the ER visit for a more convenient time like Falkie would?  I already have it in my will to press the post button in case I die in the middle of a post.

Hope your wife feels better soon!

[ItsOver]

I do, but I’ve never peed my dog.  I don’t know, nor want to know, how to do that.

Speaking of pee, apparently finding good pee locations is critical in KY.

Thanks.  We’re stuck here while they run lab work.  It is ironic that she works as a lab tech at this hospital.

In the Las Vegas Valley... They need electricity or they've got even bigger problems!  There's that show 20 years without humans or whatever it's called.  And it shows what will happen to the area..  I don't want to spoil it for you.

Spoil it...I wanna know. ..could never remember when that show was on

Americans don’t eat fries with mayo.  That’s a European thing.

"FREEDOM FRIES"!

[albrecht]

Can you explain donair to me?  I asked in a restaurant in Canada that served it and they said it was meat.  I need a little more description than that.  Is it like Gyro?

Gyros, Shawarma, and Doner Kebab are similar. But like the region from whence they came it is about politics, sorta. Similar foods and people but separated, bitterly often, by religion and national origin.  Meat, often lamb or goat, on a rotisserie and shaved off. I not quite clear, and don't want to know, how they prepare the meat to get into that artificial shape to put on the stick.

Can I wear my toque?

NO, you have to strip to your undies, and jump into one of the Great Lakes...then after that, build an igloo, make some deer or caribou stew with a maple syrup  sauce, with fiddleheads...and then, maybe we will let you wear a toque.

I would worry a bit about poison ivy at that location. A good back porch the best. No need to don footwear, you have the fresh night air and stars to look up at, and you got the drop action going on.

I’ll be driving through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in July on my way to a fishing trip in Newfoundland. 

[Freyja]

We do? I've never seen it. You are thinking Belgians, French, and Dutch. They love Mayo on their frites.

Poutine seems like it would be awesome, but I've never tried.

Good poutine is truly awesome while you're eating eat...kinda make you feel like crap afterward....for me.

It's a great food high.

Yeah, it definitely seems like one of those foods one would eat after the bars close type of thing.

A GREAT movie that, for political reasons, the Academy overlooked. Hanks's best role and solid performances by everyone else. Chock full of great actors and great character actors.

I totally agree, The Burbs was A++.

Hope that you have a great trip.

If you're going to try poutine, make sure you go to a good smoke house near Quebec...better yet enjoy the seafood on your trip.

I can do that. Well, except for the undies. Waste of good cotton. Everything else is a piece of cake. Well as long as it is winter or there is a nearby glacier to accommodate the igloo.

Did you know that Lake Michigan has now become the clearest of the Great Lakes because of the zebra mussels?  When I was a kid it wasn't clear. Of course when I was a kid there was a sign at Pt Pelee park saying not to let the water from Lake Erie make contact with your skin.

I was at Whistler/Blackcombe in December but the poutine did not look appetizing.

Weird. LCRA and TPWD keeps telling us how bad Zebra Mussels are!

I like Canada. I hate poutine.

i hate sn*w, but i love maple syrup and bacon.

[albrecht]

One of those movies that can be rewatched countless times and you will still laugh.

Try some Sri Lanken food. Crazy good and spicy.

Yeah, they layer the meat on a rotisserie

We have a taste of the world here relative to cuisine in the Toronto greater area...truly amazing really

Yea, same thing...but if you did have to deal with the snow, bacon and maple syrup help.

They have no clue about poutine in western Canada...it probably was crap

I have spent a lot of time in Montreal. I was stationed in Plattsburgh, NY.

Wouldn't that primarily be vegetarian?
The Indonesian (Dutch East Indies) Satay/Sate is good. Surprising how peanut butter goes well with meat. It is also a 'street food' in Holland. I like "Indian" (really Pakistani because uses meat.) Another good after happy hour drinks meal and nice, spicy lamb vindaloo. It also helps 'clean out the pipes' and we all know how good Toomeric is.

A buddy of mine ordered it at a Tim Hortons on our way to Toronto...it looked liked a dirty diaper.

Read about Lake Michigan. They have totally destroyed the food chain.

So are you saying that the zebra muscles made the lake clearer?

The great lakes are a disaster with all the pollution, nuclear plants, other industrial waste.
I am very close to Lake Ontario...makes me cry to see what "humanity" has done to these huge and wonderfull once were natural largest fresh water lakes on this planet

Thai is my favorite. Lots of Thai restaurants near me. Lots of Thai massage places too.

Love it! Satan is good, Satan is your pal. Lol.
