Beer is desert, and an appetiser, and a meal, and a snack, and a thirst quencher. It even cures hangovers.
Port wine is always a good desert. Rieslings and Ice wine are also great for desert. Honeycrisp NY apples, really sharp NY cheddar, and a snifter full of Port. Oh my...
Why do some drivers feel it necessary to swing right, into my lane, when turning left even though they're only going 15 mph ?
I hate when people make me drive on the sidewalk for any reason other then the fun you have when you just spontaneously veer off the road and go on the sidewalk... I hate that... But not Mmike.....
Or when a driver runs their red light to make a left turn into oncoming cars... yup. That happened this morning.
when i get behind the wheel i'm kind of an asshole. i'm sorry. but i can't change.
Sometime this summer I started getting obsessed with making pancakes and have been eating them for breakfast everyday. I have found a way to do this and still lose weight. I make my own batter and don't use syrup or tons of sugar. Instead I make berry compotes and only add a pinch of sugar to balance the tartness. So basically low fat, low sugar pancakes.
edit: Berry compote is used in place of syrup. Basically its a berry sauce that can be spooned onto the pancakes.

No whipped butter. No care. I do love compotes Just not making them.
it ain't waffles ....
I have found that eating waffles that others have made are more enjoyable then making my own. I may pay a premium for that but I am totally worth it.
The waffle I just ate came to me frozen in a box. I covered it in peanut butter and crystallized honey granules. It's regrettable there were not more waffles in the box.
You can sub applesauce for whatever oil you are using, or try coconut oil for a healthy substitute too! I always make my from scratch. Bisquick tastes like chemicals :vomit:
I use 2 Tbs of unsalted butter in the batter and fat free buttermilk, which makes 5-6 pancakes. I cook them in a sliver of butter, of which a good portion slides off to the edges of the pan. So not a whole lot of fat, but just enough to give the pancakes that buttery flavor.
I also add vanilla, lemon zest, and fresh blue berrries to the batter, mmmm.
Batter from a box is just a bunch of nasty chemicals, yuck.

It might if you were a bat...
Very upset that McDonalds doesn't serve the "Big Breakfast" on the all day breakfast menu. No Bacon. Egg. and cheese micamuffin thing. Only nasty ass Sausage micamuffin thing. Hash brown thing? How do you fuck up potatoes?
Now I know why old people shake their head at young folk. This past weekend I heard a 14 year old boy utter the phrase, "Boys go to Jupiter to get cars, girls go to Jupiter to get stupider!"
I think adding Crack to pepper is a really bad idea. I prefer my pepper ground coarsely out of a mill.
I am getting convinced that the biggest accomplishment of our civilization is all year round availability of fresh limes for G&T.
ummmmmmmm....errrrrrr....ummm. ahhhh. yerp. hrmph.
When I'm out riding trails solo I think of all these awesome random thoughts I could post in this thread. By the time I get back to the car I have forgotten them.
Lol! I used to catch frogs all the time when I was a kid. I don't think I ever put one in my pocket.
