My sammich today was the ultimate in boring - PB on wheat. That’s all, tho I did have a side of Fritos, and an orange after.
When I was a kid, my absolute favorite sammich was cream cheese and peanuts on white bread. You had to have a thick layer of cream cheese on each slice of bread, and on one slice, you had to press in cocktail peanuts. Not dry roasted - ut had to be the greasy, salty kinds. And you can’t have any loose peanuts - they all have to be mooshed into the cream cheese. Then you moosh the second slice on top of the first. Then you eat. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I’m a simple guy, I likes my nanners without bread or mayonaise gettin in the way. But if you (meanin Swampy) want to come to Orygun and eat a nanner sammich in front of me, you can sleep in the upstairs front bedroom, an we’ll go out and eat scotch eggs and drink microbrews, I’m just sayin…
I likes just about anything between sliced, or hacked, or torn off hunks of bread, 'cept I don’t care for mustard or hourseradish (or avacados). Mustard is only for sausages, and horseradish is only for…I dunno, horses I guess. Avacados are only for Gackamoley. But give me a BLT, or a pastrami, or a Monte Cristo, or a grilled cheese, with or without slices of onion, and I’m a happy camper.
Yesterday we went to a trade show in Portland and on the way home we stopped at the Tin Tin Buffet. It’s nominally a Chinese buffet, but they have all sorts of stuff. They have a crab salad that’s essentially just shredded crab meat with some kinda dressing, They have fried squid tentacles. They have sushi. they have lots of shrinp dishes. They have baked salmon (yum). For dinner they have snow crab legs. They even had a pizza on one end of one of the buffet tables. It’s my new favorite place to eat.
I decided, swampy, that I’d ask The Boy what he’d call a Manwich. I don’t think he knew what I was talking about, and his inclination was that I was referring to something dirty.
That right there, folks, is a good enough reason to keep him around.
Eeeeee! My post was eaten. Poor post. It contained vital, VITAL information! Such as; the new white cheddar popcorn smells like hot vomit and tastes like chicken. Not bad chicken, just surprising when one is expecting white cheddar. And no vomit of any kind.
Also, I’ve been looking for a t-shirt with the sacred heart on it. No jesus, just heart flambe. A couple three models of small animal skulls that don’t cost a million dollars. Some red knee high boots. A container for fish food (my betta Indy is turning six in a couple of months, so it’s a surprise, shhh!), preferrably in a craftsman style to match his bowl. These things are surprisingly hard to find. Huh.
Lissla, if you were to invite me to your party, I would hardly eat anything and I would bring dessert. Por ejemplo, tonight I’m making sour cream apple pie with toffee crust. Or I’ll be in a cold medicine induced coma. Either way, good times!
What were those round cast metal sandwich squishing hot pocket sorta grilled sandwich things? Those were good even when I burned my tongue on the melted stuff inside. But still, I wouldn’t eat nanners and mayo. Plus because swampy, I think you’re supposed to eat nanners with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. And Elvis added bacon and fried them I think. That boy was allus good to his mama.
Scout, The Boy[sup]TM[/sup] is my son. He’s only six, fer pete’s sake. He’s extremely cute and very smart, but he probably thinks you’re a bit icky (no offense) so I hope you’re not dating him. If you’re referring to someone else you’ll have to get a bit more creative.
Honey, you can come up here and eat anything you want, so long as I don’t have to eat it, too!
I’m trying to remember the last sandwich I had. I must have been some time last week, unless you count the stromboli I had for dinner Fri.
I’m really not a finicky eater, but I can’t stand peanut butter and jelly/jam or honey. I really don’t like peanut butter much at all. I do like Thai, I just check the ingredients. I will very occasionally eat a fluffernutter on whole wheat bread, but that’s about it.
I don’t really like white (Wonder) bread, either. We didn’t eat it growing up; my mom would make bread or buy whole-grain. The only white bread I eat is sourdough, but that has body - it’s not all squishy.
Oh, I just remembered, I had a burrito Fri. for lunch. That’s kind of, sort of, a sandwich, right? On second thought, no, it’s not. I’m slacking on my sandwich eating, and didn’t even notice it. I’m so ashamed! I’m headed straight home to make some grilled cheese so I can face you people tomorrow.
Swampy the question becomes, what kind if chips to use on your nanner sammich? You can get all sorts of tasty combinations depending on how much you’re willing to experiment with different chips. I’m not gonna do the experimenting myself, but I figure some of the brave folks out there will be more than willing to test and report back.
I’d show up with a nanner, some mayo, two slices of white bread and spread you on the sammich if that’s what it took.
BTW, sour cream, nanners and brown sugar all smooshed up makes a great dip for apple slices.
I am all about healthy eating I am.
Winnie I’d eat fluffernutters with ya. Fluffernutters and milk are a wunnerful combo. MMMMMMM… fluffernutters… marshmallow fluff, peanut butter and light bread.
chaoticdonkey it took me exactly til post 32 to mention nanner sammiches. That’s a little over four hours after my first post. You sayin’ I’m slackin’?
BelZarak plain ol’ tater chips are the best. Trust me on that. BBQ or Sour Cream and Onion tater chips don’t taste good on a nanner sammich. I never tried the dill pickle tater chips though. Try that and report back, ok?
Nanner sammiches…with mayo? Sorry, can’t even imagine them. With crunchy peanut butter, however, yummmmm.
Dinner thus far has been: dark chocolate with hazelnuts and a handful of dried cherries. I suppose I should go find something to follow dessert.
On preview, I see we’ve gotten to the fortune cookie portion of the show. Last week, I got the following (no numbers, no Times New Roman typeface; doesn’t that seem suspicious?):
Boop boop boop boop boo was the bionic eye. Tearing the lettuce would be tetch tetch tetch tetch tetch tetch… and the impact of the lettuce hitting the sandwich would be mumm mumm mumm mumm mumm mumm mumm mumm. And, of course, the explosion in real time and sound.
OK, OK, I know you’re all too polite to pry, but I know you’re dying to know, so I’ll tell ya. I have not sold the chandelier from hell. The so-called interested buyer never got back to me. I’ve sent 2 emails that went unanswered. She toyed with me, got my hopes up, then mocked my by her absence. What a poopy-head! I am displeased this much: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
On the other hand, my sister gave us a rolltop desk that she and her hubby wanted out of the house. Not a fancy, elegant, classic rolltop, just a small, veneer over plywood with ill-fitting drawers rolltop. The top was too short for the monitor, but it was held on with a mere 4 screws, so we unscrewed them, cleaned up the top, and placed it here in the family room in place of the old kitchen table that was serving as a pseudo-desk. It’s small, but it works. And it looks better than the old kitchen table with the tablecloth askew. And it was free, which is good, also.
I tried the nanner and mayo sammich. I didn’t have any tater chips so I used graham crackers for the crunch. It was surprisingly good. I wonder how Doritos, particularly cool ranch flavor, would be? 'Course I dip my fries (chips for you Brits) in mayo so I might be too warped to use as a reference anyway.
I gots me a great big roll top desk for my puter. I bought it at Sam’s year before last. It came in two huuuuuuuuuge boxes and took me and two friends to set up but it’s waaaaaay cool. I even has a matching printer stand.
I got me a smaller rolltop desk too. It’s solid oak. It’s where I keep bills and tax stuff and such.
FCM the chandelier is meant to be yours. Embrace the chandelier. Become one with the chandelier. It will never leave you. It has found its place of happiness. Tell ThePerfectChild[sup]TM[/sup] it’s her inheritance. She’ll be thrilled.
So, I didn’t post all day because there was an all staff meeting today away from the worksite so I didn’t have a computer. I got there late so I felt like an odd duck with no one to save a seat for me. But I decided to think that everyone had missed me and was anxious to talk to me during the break and lunch so I ended up not feeling like an odd duck. You’d think after over two years at the same place I wouldn’t be so worried about whether anybody liked me . . . .
Then we had the staff holiday party which we didn’t have last month because everyone was way too busy. We went on the Willamatte Queen, a boat with the water wheel in back like what used to ply the Mississippi–what are they called? I do so love being on the water, even if it is just the river. Anyway, the bartender did not stint on the alcohol and I perhaps got a bit, shall we say comfortable in my own skin. Which is okay, I wasn’t embarrassingly comfortable, but when Mo asked if I had a question to ask the All-Knowing Eight Ball, I was comfortable enough to ask if this was the year I’d get a boyfriend. Then she read out all the questions and had the All-Knowing Eight Ball answer them so everyone knew what everyone asked and what answer they got. I’m happy to say the the All-Knowing Eight Ball says that this will Most Certainly be the year I finally get a boyfriend (again, I’ve had boyfriends, just not lately, and frankly, I want one), but I’m not so sure that I’m happy that I then annouced that everyone was now part of the plot and the game was “Find a Date for Kallessa” (except I used my real name because they don’t know me as Kallessa and it would have confused them, and again frankly, if somebody can find me a date, I don’t want them to be confused).
As a kid, I had a tuna sandwich in my lunch almost every single day for 12 years. By choice. Sometimes I’d have a baloney sandwich, or a pice of chicken, roast beef or turkey (but not a chicken, roast beef or turkey sandwich, I only ate tuna or baloney sandwiches). On big Loaf Bakery Sandwich Loaf bread–a lot like Wonder Bread, but with just enough actual substance to make it worth eating. Tuna was (and still is) mixed with just mayo, and either plain potato chips or corn chips could be added immediately prior to eating each half. As an alternative, if I could trade my homemade cookies for Oreos or even Hydrox, I would take a bite of cookie, followed as soon as I swallowed by a bite of tuna sandwich. M&M’s worked, too, but a Milky Way had too many textures and flavors for the chocolate to properly blend with the tuna and mayo. Just tuna with oreos is good as well, but with mayo, the taste is sublime.
Paddle wheel, they’re called paddle wheels and it was fun.
You love life very much.
