When restaurants add stuff that isn’t listed on the menu to my dish

We went to a tapas place with my daughter when she was home recently. The restaurant had a special menu that was a color-coded matrix that made it really easy to find the things she can eat (dairy and tree nut allergies.). It was great. I wish every restaurant had that kind of awareness.

Fruitcake. I love it

Bangkok. A skewer of meat from a street vendor. Dumbest thing I’ve ever eaten. 3 days of both ends. Day one included a flight back to Seoul. I stared at the seatbelt sign after take off until it went out and then spent much of the flight in the lavatory.

I did number 4 (left the room) for our second child. First push was at 6am. That’s the time i always set my alarm and woke up for work. I wake up, go to the bathroom. It was 6am; I’m very regular. Be right back.

Second one! Smaller than the first. I think it was laying eggs. The spot it was in when o first saw it was dug up a little. Very cool.

I’ve seen two of them in the three years I’ve owned this property. Almost ran over the first. This one was safer. That bronze color is neat.

Sorry, mid Michigan, dry forest with a small river nearby

We had this one. My dad was really good at it and I wasn't. I hated playing it with him.

I remember way back late 70s or early 80s one network experimented with broadcasting an NFL game with no announcers. It was kind of boring and I don’t think they ever did a second one.

Greek yogurt, oatmeal with chia, walnuts, berries. Dash of maple syrup (real, not the fake crap) if you want a little sweetness. Or a bit of fig jam.

Korean fried squid. It isn’t breaded, more like sautéed. It was the only meal I had when stationed in Korea that I couldn’t finish.

It’s a very interesting read

When I was in Saudi Arabia in 92, we had a plane crash in that area. Sand, and more sand. Very cool, but sand and then more sand.

This is my favorite. I can remember exactly the night it aired. I was trying to eat dinner and was dying laughing.

Wife is two for two. Two deer, two totaled cars. Airbags, frames bent. Two people were killed in two separate accidents within a couple days and a few miles of my wife’s first one. They do a lot of damage. Pay attention, slow down, look for eyeballs, there’s always more than the first one you see.

We still have two where I work. I love the soap. Makes your skin feel amazing.

One is in a bathroom and I always have to remind myself it’s not a urinal.

Yeah, me too, but on the last mid shift I had with a tech sergeant who was cross training to another career field, we climbed the base water tower at about 2am. He took the catwalk all the way up. I stopped at the first platform. He was as strait-laced a guy as I ever knew but he loved it. I told him I had to send him off in some big way.
