Snack to the Future: The Col-Pop, an All-in-One Chicken Nugget and Soda Cup: The Colpop
i'm scared
I've never considered the thought of having any level of OC... but I do entertain myself with making sure that all the sugars on the table are color-sorted and neat and all the condiments are placed in a way that maximizes the room on the table... I also need to have my plate and glass mirror the person with me... humm...
Possibly the saltiest Thanksgiving... we went to Mimi's Cafe and got a plate of turkey, mush that was supposed to be dressing, I suppose, day old mashed potatoes (they tasted so old and were still a little cold!), mashed sweet potatoes, and hunks of steamed, bland broccoli and carrots... oh and cranberry compote that came only when we asked for it.
There's just no magic to Thanksgiving when you have to divide a check... next year...

It was at a little 24 hour Korean restaurant in Chicago where the service was getting worse and worse each time we went -- typically in Korean places, you're offered side dishes right away, and especially if you order alcohol -- so, after 30 minutes and after the waitress rolled her eyes at us for asking for our beer for the second time... we walked...

I've been flirting with some savory in my oatmeal lately. Caley might appreciate this, as there's only so much sweet I can take - especially in the morning.
What about mixing some crumbled bacon in the rolled oats and topping with a sunny side up egg?
Or, how's warmed ham, cheese and jalapeños sound?
Treat 'em like grits... why not?
Tripe was my gateway to the world of offal - I prefer that the membrane is washed out, or otherwise it's not so tasty, but my favorite is the innards of crab and fish. Crab innards are so sweet! They taste like soft, sweetened livers.
For the land beings, I love it all, if it's properly cooked and seasoned, it's worth it!
Spreading left-over mashed potatoes over a slice of buttered bread... Mesquite smoked BBQ ribs, brisket, and sausage... an obnoxiously large chicken fried steak smothered in white gravy and a side of fried okra... pecan pie...
I'm a lazy dishwasher, so the less left to wash, the better, and a fork isn't asking too much of me, so that's what I use... usually. I typically leave the skin on, so a lumpy country-style mashed (or forked!) potatoes is my preferred end result.
However, when it's a special occasion, I bust out the hand mixer and whip them up smooth with lots of butter.
I think the real question is: Can you go wrong with mashed potatoes?
hi adam,
I am wondering if I can use these photos to publish in a student newspaper? Or are they copyrighted somewhere? If there's any way you can get back to me tonight (Wed 3/19)/, please please do!

Hi,
I've seen a cupholder of same concept in Japanese famous hamburger shop MOS Burger from 1999...

This is All-in-One "French Fries" and Coke Cup.
But I've also seen Chicken Nugget and Coke one in other hamburger shop in Japan.
The possibilities are endless! Make it like a hot/cold thermos with separated bins, and a built in straw, dishwasher safe. Can be huge, as long as the bottom fits into the average sized cupholder in a vehicle. There must be a sturdy handle for true one handed comfort. Snap on holders can always be purchased separately. Maybe KFC will give you a free drink refill if you buy the container from them and pay for a ______ refill? Or better yet, the movie theater could sell it for $100 with free popcorn for a week!
I'm imagining strolling on the boardwalk, walking around the state fair. Heck, I could hold it with one hand on the roller coaster, while the other is covering my screaming mouth!
It's more just an old habit than anything else, but I like to sit near an exit, with my back to the wall.
I've never been comfortable eating alone in a restaurant. The nicer the restaurant, the more conspicuous I feel. Yet, if I'm not alone, I barely notice other diners.
The post reminded me of the tv show Monk. I get the biggest kick out that character, but I don't think I have any of those characteristics. I do carry wipes in my purse though. hmmmmm.........
The article made me paranoid enough that I asked my husband if he thought I had OCD. He actually said yes!
This reminds me of the Anal-Retentive Chef skit that Phil Hartman, bless his soul, used to do on SNL. I wish I could find that on YouTube...it was pure hilarity. *sigh*
I am not obsessive-compulsive, but am good friends with a girl that is. She thinks anyone that is bald or balding as well as any people that have cuts or scars (or anything like it) has cancer and that cancer can be transmitted by touch or via the air we breathe (like a cold).
This is only an issue when, you go to a deli and the guy serving the food is bald (she won’t take it from him and has to leave the deli). When you go to the market and the person helping you has a bandage on their hand and that person bags the veggies you just bought (she informs the person she has changed her mind and leaves abruptly). Or when your waiter or waitress has another table with a bald individual at it – leave the restaurant. Things have changed recently and life, for now, is better for her but at times it was a constant challenge.
Needless to say her diet was very limited but hanging out with her always made for good stories…
I gotta go with the Loaded Bacon Cheddar Ranch fries from Checkers/Rally's.
Wow, I never did this because of poor service but I did call in a take-out order to a different pizzeria while sitting in a booth of a different pizzeria after being served a very bad pizza!
