Dinner Tonight: Leftover Chili Dogs

I'd curious about this one. Ketchup and mustard are great smooshed together on a corndog, so I suppose it could be good, but then again, I don't know if this really constitutes anything I'd want to call "chili".

So wait... are you guys trying to say that various bbqs and parties can be hosted differently? And maybe, just maybe... that all people are different? Because that would make sense.

'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

I usually make a quesadilla, creamed spinach, lots of chicken and tuna salad sandwiches, pb&j and lots and lots of snacks involving potatoes.

The Organic Milk Business Has Gone Bad: Are You Buying Less Organic Milk?

Personally, I have a cow that I feed only the most organic of feeds, that I milk myself.

... This WAS a contest, right?

The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck, Launching Soon in NYC

I wish we had an ice cream truck that played some good cha-cha. We have one that comes through on my sleep-in days, blaring "Come All Ye Faithful" (oh yes, Christmas in June everyone!) and I'm pretty sure the children in my apartment complex avoid it like the plague.

Served: Night from Hell

He didn't realize it was a gift card? He just pulled a random card, didn't look at it, gave it to you and then was "vexed" because due to technical difficulties, you couldn't go back, void what you already did for them and recharge their meal to it?

Where do these people come from? That's ridiculous.

Should I have sent the drink back?

I was asking this question to my twitter followers and such just a couple weeks ago. Personally, I am always skeazed when a man buys me a drink, thinking that a drink is going to seal the deal. Really, now. A drink? You've never spoken to me and suddenly you want something from me?

Male nature or not, I don't feel sorry for any man in that situation. If that man deserved your respect, he would have came over and tried to talk to you first, to see if you were even available and interesting. THEN the drinks may flow.

Served: Why Tipping Makes Everyone Uncomfortable

I enjoy your columns. I didn't comment on the last post, because to be honest, I rarely comment. Being someone who has a very modest income myself, I absolutely make my bare minimum 15%. If I can't wing that, I don't go out to eat. Simple as that. If the service was so atrocious, that I felt someone actually worsened my day, I might make an exception to that rule, but it hasn't happened so far.

It sort of reminds me of the statistics showing those who make less tend to donate a larger percentage of their income to charities than those making so much more. There is less of a sense of entitlement there, which honestly makes me embarrassed for our culture.

If say those people did make a math error or just accidentally plopped down the sad and sorry amount, you had every right to confront them. If they were embarrassed, they brought it upon themselves. They fixed their mistake and no harm, no foul. If they really felt it wasn't an error in their own judgment, they would have said something.

On the plus side, I think the bad tipping people and those calling you rude are mostly on the older, conservative side. Hopefully a generational thing and they won't be around forever. :)

Birds Stealing Ice Cream Cones

I saw these pictures going around yesterday, well the second photo, anyway. The people sending it were more concerned with the man behind the lady. And what's going on there with his pants.
