Makes sense, but not likely. Even German youth is buying Budweiser
and other Amercan mega-swill over premium German brews. Asians will
eat anything if it's surrounded by enough neon.

It's all relative. It would be very easy to make you think that a Big Mac was the greatest burger in the world and you'd be happy to stuff your face with the product. You just ain't been hungry enough. Think about it.

Try their jalapeno burger. The only complaint I have about it is
sometimes the person making it goes overboard with the white stuff.
No idea what it's supposed to be. It's not mayonnaise.

I like that sandwich. In a bold move, McDonald's has opted to put fried jalapeno chips AND sliced jalapenos. As an added bonus, it's dirt cheap at two bucks. That white stuff is supposed to be some kind of ranch dressing.

Jack-in-the-Box makes a Sriracha burger. I like it because it has sliced jalapenos and bacon. I'm not sure where they put the Sriracha though - it doesn't seem to appear on the sandwich. That's the breaks.

More of the same stupid logic as sf. I've never understood that line
of reasoning. I didn't see Dave claim anything of the sort. All he did
is give his own opinion of their product and I'm pretty sure Dave
isn't expecting McDonalds to close because he doesnt eat there.

Don't worry about it. She is just looking for an ego stroke from her

Oh of course I expect them to go broke, them, and Lays, and Coors, and
the people who make Jaegermeister. In my world, I expect that everyone
who makes a product that I don't like to go broke. ;-)

But they are *very* good for a place to stop and pee and get a coffee
(and/or an ice cream cone) on long road trips. The restrooms are clean,
and the coffee is not great but pretty good -- and usually fresh.

I can drive cross-country just doing McD's ice cream cones and coffee

The truck can go 600 miles between fillups, and the car almost 500. I
can't hold it that long. ==(8-O (maybe I could if I didn't drink all
that coffee)

Truedat. Bryan told me the stpry of one of his first float trios with
otgher young (all we need is beer and pot) float trippers, and how he
brought some hard boiled eggs, and when some of the other beer-only
float trippers got reqally hungry and he whipped out the eggs and they
started eating them, how the other float trippers was saying "Man,
these are the best hard boiled eggs in the world!"

I have occasionally seen people get all excited about boiled eggs. I think it's kinda weird but I guess I never been hungry enough.

Hard cooked boiled eggs are one of my favorites to have in the fridge
for sandwiches, cost a lot less than cold cuts and far more healthful.
I also enjoy pickled eggs. I'm just back from the store and I did buy
two cartons of 18, now I have a yen for boiling 18, for sliced egg
sammies manana. Tonight is home ground burgers and I have six large
onyuns a sweatin' for caramelized right now, got a big bag of
Portugeuse rolls from BJs too. I see nothing bad about boiled eggs,
occasionally I enjoy soft boiled too, a half dozen sopped up with home
fries and a couple shots of frozen Crystal Palace makes an excellent
dinner.

Most long distance truckers have that rig, a hose with a funnel... I
think that's a regular option on Peterbuilt rigs, relief for your

Eggs are perhaps the best food in the world. Consider this:
everythting to make exactly one baby chick is in one egg. Everything!

I take a thyroid medication that should be taken on an empty stomach. I
get up about 3 M to take a leak and take the pill at that time.

As for breakfast, I usually do make something, but once a week
(Thursday) I stop at McD and get two breakfast sandwiches that I share
with a friend at work. We like them. Tuesday we have a Ray's onion
bagel.

Too true.
It reminds me of my health food Nazi sister in law who is under then
impression that anything organic is automatically good for you. Years
ago she was pushing Celestial Seasonings tea. They were organic so they
were good. I pointed out that they had no idea what they were foisting
on their customers. Not long after that there was a news report of one
of their very loyal customers dying of an atropine overdose. She had
been under the impression that the organic teas were so good for you
that she was drinking enormous quantities of their teas, and there seems
to have been things in them that aren't so good for you.

No, they are plots by the CIA to control population. Or the
Communists. Yeah, one of them.

We get the tail end of the hurricanes. By the time they get to us it is
usually just heavy rain and an lot of wind, nothing compared to what
hits the US east coast. The only one that really his us here in southern
Ontario was Hurricane Hazel back in 1954.

There's nothing wrong with hard boiled eggs - as long as it's not
overcooked. OTOH, it's nothing to get excited about. Not yet anyway.

I don't think there is anything horrible about them. I used to take them
for lunch. Somewhere along the way I just sort of got tired of them and
lost interest in them. I have not had a hard boiled egg in many years,
and quite frankly, am not interested in eating any. I would rather have
a soft boiled egg, another thing I have not had in years.

I make some every week and they make for a quick breakfast on weekdays.

A simple boiled egg can be sublime. I have made some perfect ones in the
past but part of it must have been dumb luck. It's cooking that requires
a stop watch to get consistent results. I don't care for that kind of
cooking.

I used to boil eggs to make egg salad. The perfect egg salad was very
smooth and creamy and was a delicate yellow. I just loved it -
unfortunately, nobody else in this family was much interested in it.

I have to admit that it was never my favourite. It is not a matter of
hating egg salad or not liking it, just a matter of not being much
interested in it. I have only made egg salad maybe a half dozen times,
and half of those were to accompany smoked eel. AAFOF, I was at the
local Legion hall after the town Remembrance Day ceremony and they had a
variety of sandwiches. I had some ham salad, salmon salad, tuna salad,
but I passed on the egg salad. The odd thing is that when I eat them I
usually like them.

They can be pretty good but I don't think I would go so far as to
describe them as sublime. They can be a little tricky since eggs come in
different sizes and cooking time varies. When I was in elementary
school we often had soft boiled eggs for lunch ... with toast soldiers.
It was one of my favourite lunches.

Two per week?!? LOL, they'd love me... I usually have four or five in
one sitting.

Egg beaters? Is that some artificial facsimile of a real egg?

Well, that's one way of looking at it. I would argue that consuming
something to ridiculous excess ain't going to be good for you, no
matter what it is.

Egg salad tends to be kind of rubbery because the eggs are overcooked. I
like the eggs to be like soft custard and a light color i.e., I don't
want the yolks to have a greenish-grey cast on the surface. I'm kinda
picky about boiled eggs.

Yeah. They use the HAARP facility in Alaska to control the weather and
send hurricanes to areas that vote Democrat. Entry to the facility is
by way of special Rothschild decoder rings.

OK, just don't overcook them. I know people that put them in a pot and
boil them forever and get the results you describe. With proper timing
you get perfect eggs every time.
