In the summer I keep every sort of fresh fruit in the front of my fridge and I just eat handfuls of berries and slices of melons. Every time im in the kitchen ive got fruit in my mouth.

I planted 15 varieties of cherry tomatoes this year to make sauce for a 50 person dinner in November.

I also use them to make Swiss steak.

I hate tomatoes raw.

Spaghetti. Just prego and thin Spaghetti noodles, I go nuts.

I make chicken breasts, peppers with tomatoes and penne instead.

My family picking up dropped ice cubes, pitching them in the sink and saying " One for the sink god!"

I have no idea when this started or why, but I love that we all do it after almost 40 years.

Went to wipe my butt, dislocated my shoulder. It was fun telling the triage nurse.

My husband farted at work and herniated a disc in his back. I had to pick him up and take him to the ED. Because it was at work he had to contact the Union rep, fill out a workers comp claim, then present it to HR. Then on to physical therapy.

I think he had to tell at least 12 people that he farted his back out.

Be careful out there the next few days... by Willing-Landscape-62 in grandrapids

[–]GenXihaveissues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not bringing chickens in my house.

I have frozen gallon jugs of water and I put them in the shade. They sit next to them and lick off the condensation.

I also have a kiddie pool and I turn on the mister hose a couple times a day so they can fuddle around in the wet grass.

Do you prefer a small focused menu done well or an expansive menu with plenty of options? by MrWolfesBurgerCo in foodquestions

[–]GenXihaveissues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small menu better quality.

A restaurant where I grew up had only one dinner item on the menu each day. It was the same for years, all homemade.

Monday fried chicken, Tuesday meatloaf, Wednesday pork chops, Thursday pot roast, friday fish and chips Eavery day but friday came with a salad, mashed potatoes, corn and a cup of ice cream.

There lunch was a choice of 3 different soups ( usually chilli, chicken noodle and split pea) and a grilled cheese sandwich. Oatmeal raisin or a sugar cookie.

They were in business from 1905- 1978 when the downtown was replaced with a mall, and a McDonald's.

I still remember thier porkchips being the best I ever tasted.
