I'm not a huge fan of fried things but that's mostly because I know it's terrible for you. I do love me some good fried chicken, though. Stanley's has some great fried chicken. Of course, I haven't had it in about two years. I don't really like hot wings. They're way too messy and there is little to no meat on them which means it's way too much work for very little reward.
I love mayonnaise. In fact, when I order or make a burger I put three things on it. Cheese. Tomato. Mayo. That's it. Another great thing about mayo is that if you put a thin coat on each half of the bun, the grease of the burger won't soak through and make your bun all soggy. If I'm having a turkey sandwich I'll almost always add mayo, especially if it's mostly white meat. I get why people don't like mayo, though.
You do bring up a great point about having to request things on your sandwich. I like Five Guys because they just sell hamburgers or cheeseburgers and they have a list of condiments that you can choose from. I'm pretty sure I could get a much better sandwich at most restaurants if they all followed the same philosophy. List all your condiments and your meats and I'll make my own sandwich. At most restaurants, I feel like I have to make adjustments to get the sandwich I want. I guess I should eat at a deli more often.
If I ever have Jeffsgiving you will most definitely be invited. I would also like to be invited to Tristansgiving.
I am vaguely familiar with Sweet Valley High. I remember some of my high school friends reading them. Or maybe it was my sister. I don't know. Didn't they make a Sweet Valley TV show at some point? Maybe not. Also, what the fuck? That excerpt doesn't even make any sense. Is Coffee a character in the novel? Crying after orgasms? I know these kind of novels aren't really worried about being cliche, but lets make some kind of effort. Also, there are women who have never had an orgasm. Appreciate what you've got. I assume the whole novel is written in third person omniscient, otherwise we wouldn't really know if Russ was pretending not to notice or if he just didn't give a fuck. I'd like to think that he doesn't give a fuck and our main character misinterprets his actions. Regardless, it seems weird that we're talking about the Sweet Valley High girls having orgasms -- especially if they are crying after. Is there anything in the early Sweet Valley High novels that would lead us to believe that the post-orgasm crying is justified?
I struggled with giving up traditional books when I got the Kindle. I also liked the look/feel/smell and I enjoyed browsing bookstores for new books. I've adjusted, though. The only thing I don't like is that there's no good way to let someone borrow a book. That's really the best part of owning good books.
Dee made me put up the Christmas decorations this weekend. I hate it. I have to go down to our storage room and get our tree which takes up nearly the whole fucking storage space. I then have to drag this heavy ass thing up two flights of twisting stairs with a bad back. Once it's finally up, it makes our already cozy place feel absolutely tiny. Then I have to take it all back down once the holidays are over. Pain in the ass. Especially for an atheist. The things I do for my wife's fairy tales.
I like making up ridiculous names to call my daughter. The more non-sensical the better. I've recently started calling her "Fight Club." It drives Dee crazy because she doesn't know why I call her that. I don't even know why I call her that. That's what makes it great.
Would it be helpful to your atheist heart to know that the Christmas tree was originally a pagan ritual adapted to the Christian holiday to assist in the indoctrination of barbarian hordes to governmentally organized religion?
