Things I find a tad exasperating v.3

It's literally something that I've been eating since I was a kid. There's something about it that works.

I'd enjoy that.  Peanut butter on english muffins are one of my favorite breakfasts.  I'd probably forgo the juice, but there is nothing wrong with enjoying some OJ.

It's rare that we have OJ in the house because I really shouldn't be drinking it, but sometimes my afternoon snack is an english muffin with PB and a cold glass of milk. Although I won't likely dip it.

Tim, that looks better than just as awful as I thought it would.

I can get with that.  My friend and I once put Fritos on vanilla ice cream, and I remember it being wonderful (although not such that I've ever done it again).  I still dip my fries in my Wendy's Frosty, though.

My wife LOVES English Muffins with PB.  The daughter is pretty much the only person in the house who drinks OJ, so we don't have it around much.  I'm fine with it on occasion.

What kind of muffin is that, and do you not toast them?

The picture of it dipped in OJ did not inspire me.

I did toast it, but when I toast something, I don't like it crunchy. I like it warm with a light crust.

[wolfking]

Fair enough.  I like them crunchy but there is a point if you toast too, it ruins it.

It did not inspire me however when I go to the supermarket on the weekend, I'm sure I will stand at the juice section and contemplate for a bit.......so you never know.

[King Postwhore]

I like my bitches crunchy too.

[wolfking]

I like my bitches crunchy too.

I love older women too, but not quite that old.

Yeah, but it's Kingshmegland we're talking about. He's shopping in a whole 'nuther market.

[King Postwhore]

My wife is older. Don't let her know I admitted this. Lol

[TAC]

My wife is older than your wife.

[King Postwhore]

My wife is older than your wife.

I remember you telling me but I don't remember how old. Text me.

[wolfking]

WTF?! 

[King Postwhore]

Wife is 1 year, 4 months older but I act waaaay older.

[wolfking]

Wife is 1 year, 4 months older but I act waaaay older.

According to you or her? Haha.

[King Postwhore]

Both. Lol

Is this one of your typos? 

[King Postwhore]

Nope. Lol

Every time our toaster/toaster oven craps out and we get a new one, we have to learn where the "magic" setting is for English muffins.  Limp English muffins are no bueno.

By the way, for a while about 20 years ago, someone introduced a product called Australian toaster biscuits.  Very similar to an English muffin.  I don't think I've seen them in a long time.

[Chino]

The trick to english muffins is to toast them with a blow torch, not a toaster oven.

I guess all you gotta do is slap a koala on the label and you're golden!   



And apparently there was a nasty little advertising campaign:  https://dlisted.com/2015/11/17/hot-slut-of-the-day-816/

[wolfking]

Ah, late 80's early 90's, I wouldn't think I'm too young for them, but they still don't ring a bell, that's crazy haha.  Always known as English Muffins to me!

[TAC]

Australian toaster biscuits!

[wolfking]

Sure! 

I'll have to ask the folks or some people at work.  I'm intrigued. 

[pg1067]

I haven't had or seen Australian toaster biscuits in a LONG time.  However, my recollection is that they were softer than a Thomas' English muffin, and they were almost impossible to get the crunchy surface, which I like, but which Tim said he didn't care for.  However, the ATBs were rather similar to most other store bought English muffins.

I just read more than I care to about the differences (including crumpets).  Wikipedia tells us (not so helpfully) that "English muffins are sometimes referred to simply as muffins in the United Kingdom" (kinda like the joke that, in China, Chinese food is simply referred to as "food"), while "[t]he U.S.-style muffins (a sweet quickbread) are sometimes referred to as American muffins. . . ."

My head is spinning like a top right now!

I think I may have posted this before... when someone hosts a dinner/party, and has no non-alcoholic beverage options. I feel like every time I go to someone's house, it goes like:

"Would you like something to drink?"
"Why yes, I am parched, what do you have?"
"We have 18 different kinds of beer, 9 different kinds of wine, and since seltzer is all the rage now for some reason, 34 different types of hard seltzer."
"Um... do you have anything... non-alcoholic?"
"Sure, you can get some water from the faucet."
"...refreshing..."

Preach!

I don’t drink and I don’t like carbonated drinks. People just get annoyed with me.

[Cool Chris]

I get that people might not have always have soda or juice in their house, but if you are hosting dinner you probably went to the store to buy food. Would if break your bank to pick up a 2L of Pepsi?

You do not have people over your house for a party, and not have bottled water.

What does this  - I don’t drink and I don’t like carbonated drinks. - have to do with this - People just get annoyed with me.?  Is there a sentence missing there? 

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA, I'm funny. 

[pg1067]

Wasn't quite sure where to put this....

There's been a commercial running for a while for the car repair franchise Meineke.  For anyone who hasn't seen it, the commercial features a guy speaking English with a mock German accent and talking about how he only trusts Meineke with "meine Key" (i.e., my key, although "meinem Schlüssel" would be the actual German in that case).

The commercial is kinda stupid, but it doesn't otherwise bother me (I'm 1/4 Danish, 1/4 Irish and 3/16 German).  However, I can't shake the feeling that, if the guy in the commercial were Chinese or Middle Eastern or Mexican, it would NEVER have made it on the air.
