Does this mean pineapple on pizza is also not to be discussed?

Oh we can talk about that.....no fruit no fish....and no green bell peppers...yuvk

Unfortunately, we weren't able to see them here. Damn clouds!

Same here too!

 

[dkak001]

Pesky clouds.

Replace "Pesky" with any of the stock standard four letter words, and you're getting closer!

No. That is completely on the table.

Literally.

Although it’s a sin. Everyone knows that pineapple and pizza do not mix.

 

[Wonderer67]

I agree. We are bombarded by online and over the airways by politics and breaking news. It’s nice to have a news and politics free zone to share our life experiences, sports, memories of good old days etc. Let’s work hard to keep it this way.

Right there, brother.

That’s the foundation of this joint.

Well I will agree with you about fish

 

[Booboobear84]

More seriously what do people think about fruit in salad. Today will be strawberries and raspberries but usually it’s cut up apple. Always raisins and almonds.

Anchovies is one of the worst things you can put on pizza. Maybe worse than pineapple!

I like fruit, but not really in salads. Occasionally strawberry or blueberry is OK.

I mostly like just veggies and salads.

But you do you and make the salad the way you want!

This is more getting a feel for what other people like. I’m genuinely curious. So with you on anchovies.

I think it can add some yummy sweetness in the right salads.

But jot every one and it has to be with the correct dressing

 

[Booboobear84]

I’m almost always using balsamic. I like the vinegar bite.

Technically, tomatoes are a fruit and not a vegetable, and as such, they are the only fruit I like in my salad. However, I don’t mind causing several different kinds of fruit in a bowl and eating them that way.


It’s not like it doesn’t all wind up in the same stomach anyway….

I knew folks who always ordered pineapple on their pizza.

Tomatoes are poisonous. Anyone that ate one before the year 1900 is dead. Proof positive.

No, that was the drinking water that killed them all.

Spoonies!!
Busy, busy, busy...
Didn't have much time for online yesterday.
An application defect is allowing me to aim for a quick catch up today.
Hope everyone else's Friday is moving along nicely.

We were shopping yesterday. Most ppl were nice and really respectful. There was one who came at her, however. She and I both pulled away. The guy got mad at me, saying he just wanted to pet her. I told him neither of us cared what HE wanted. She's a service dog and was working.

Some people's kids still need to be paddled and sent to bed hungry.

Thanks, @Wat_Tyler - I was going to be a bit more with my response

It is nice to know that the furry kids are at the end of today's trail

Always!

I know the owners of this restaurant. A long time ago (30 +years) I met him and he said they cooked turkeys every day, first thing in the morning around 3 am!

Like the donuts... but with turkeys?

I had to wait to have mine this am. Damn meds.

Any day ending in "Y" for me... but thank you for posting this. Made me realize I had logged my AM meds but then got distracted at work and never actually took them. So... I can have my coffee closer to lunch time today

All y'all don't get bit by weasels now, ya hear???

Now you tell me!
Actually - your post is timely... I'm behind in my waking up and reading

Hopefully a relaxing day.

someone should get a relaxing day out of this

From the Mixed Up Files of Likes2's Food Issues...
Today's episode... fruit and fish...
where we find that Likes2 is a Fruititarian and has allergic reactions to any type of shelf-stable fish or tomatoes.

This means she will mix her fruit and veggies on a salad... but then the saga of how to dress the salad begins...

Sometimes tasty options such as Ranch (dairy) and Balsamic (vinegar) are not tolerated. Neither is citrus... so "Fresh Squeezed Lemon and EVOO" are no longer an option.

Often, EVOO and some fresh ground black pepper and a quick stop at the spice drawer will do the trick.

Because an undressed salad can be a challenge to truly enjoy sometimes.

On that note... I'm off to lunch, spoonies... Nothing better than a mid-day snoozle
Carpe Diem and Hasta la Vista

Pesky tomatoes and water

 

[Booboobear84]

@likes2watchU that's gotta be tough with no vinegar and no dairy on salad.

 

[Wonderer67]

I'm afraid my advanced years haven't brought me much wisdom!

I dunno abt that. You seem plenty wise!

 

[Wonderer67]

Wow, that’s commitment!

My ex brother-in-law owned a bagel place, and he got up every day at 2:30 to make the bagels

 

[Wonderer67]

In and out! I keep trying to catch up but am failing. I did consider just throwing in the towel and starting at the end. But... OCD.

You are not failing!

But if you find it being detrimental to things, just pick a page to start to catch up on and start there. Don’t feel the pressure or need to check every single post.

I know this sounds sacrilegious, but do you ever have salads without dressing?

Sometimes I find I just crave and need raw vegetables. Whatever everyone has their own thing, and that is mine (most of the time).

I’ve been told that the fat helps with processing of the nutrients in the greens.
