Simple Pleasures...

[rowshkex]

I made grilled cheese last night for dinner after reading this discussion. With progresso tomato soup =

I did too! Minus the tomato soup though. Don't flog me for this, but I like to dip my grilled cheese in ketchup.

*e-Flogged*

[sunbone]

Ketchup on a grilled cheese? I thought putting it on scrambled eggs was the most disgusting use of ketchup I had ever seen. Blech!

[gopher wes]

Ketchup on eggs is terrible....I have no idea why people do that.

Double Yes!!!

Unless it is an omelet with hash browns inside of it!

OK - getting hungry now...

I did that when I was 5. Potato chips, too.

I agree, if by terrible you mean the best EVER!

Oy! We were on the same page with grilled cheese, but you lost me with the eggs now...

[Driftryder]

Getting hungry after reading this thread, I like ketchup on my eggs when I don't have Tobasco sauce around.


Also, anyone else like a dash of bbq sauce mixed in with mac n cheese?

[monty]

BACON! BACON! BACON!

It goes well in both a grilled cheese sandwich and mac and cheese.

I love watching people get upset because an Olympic event was spoiled for them. The amount of outrage people experience because someone let it out that someone won a medal is delicious.

Some people actually like watching an event when it's televised, and would think that people and networks can keep it on the down low for FOUR WHOLE FRIGGIN' HOURS. It's not like getting pissed off when a movie that's been out for five or six years gets spoiled for you.

[Handyman]

Ya know, you could just not watch the tv (or those networks that ruin Badminton for you) for a few hours.

Like I said though...the hate is DELICIOUS!! Soon you will sound like this guy:

The problem is when friends text you with "Phelps won the gold medal over Lochte!" or something similar. I gave up on trying to watch the Olympics "live" a few days ago, and now only watch replays/reruns of races the next day. This is painful for me since the Olympics are one of my favorite events to watch, and watching them live, in Beijing of all places four years ago, should not be too much to ask for in London. Obviously it is, so I will say it again: you, NBC.

[psych]

Hardly a simple pleasure since it took a lot of effort, but having my day go from a doom-and-gloom feeling to bright and rosy in the course of 30 minutes. My day was awful at around 2:30 p.m.; around 3:00 p.m., all was well again.

[rowshkex]

Wielding the administrative powers of hiring and firing!

[Slap Shot]

I do grilled peanut butter all the time, but I've never added cheese. What's the best cheese to put on there with the PB?

Cheddar and Swiss on shuffle.

I used to do this as well. Never been a big fan of tomato soup.

False. I tried Prego's provolone and bacon flavor on a whim. It was truly terrible.

Provolone > Swiss.

As for eggs, Frank's Hot Sauce, cholulu, or if you have to, Tobasco. No ketchup. Boo ketchup.

Completely agree.

It's pretty easy to throw a two second "And here's your Olympic update" or spoiler warning out in front of it. Pretty easy to avoid being a complete d-bag in this case.

Kinda reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where someone lets out the score of a Mets game.

[dxmnkd316]

Listening to people who call into WCCO during thunderstorms.

"It's kinda raining here. Some leaves on the trees are flickering. OH! ANOTHER RAIN DROP! It's not consistent wind, somewhere between 15 and 150 mph."

Peeve/pleasure split. I never listen to the Evil Neighbor, for the record. Hearing about things like this? Ugh, enough already.
However, it's terribly amusing to laugh at the simpletons.

[rowshkex]

Someone's trying to tell me something...

Grilled cheese talk, grilled cheese on the last episode of Breaking Bad I watched, my roommates talking about grilled cheese...

Now all I need is from bread and cheese.

Don't forget butter, a grill, and a spatula. Also, a plate.

[dxmnkd316]

The plate is wholly unnecessary.

Also the amount of anti-Sioux at WeFest was beyond awesome. The "USA" chant tunnel somehow turned into the "Sioux Suck Sh!t" chant tunnel.

**Just to clarify, I had no part in making any of that happen, nor did I know any of the people that started it all. That's what made it so pleasureful to me

[Don Adams Wheel of Justice]

Watching my 5 year old daughter ride her bike without training wheels for the first time.

[rowshkex]

Watching my 5 year old daughter ride her bike without training wheels for the first time.

Awesome, congratulations!

[Don Adams Wheel of Justice]

Thanks. Kids are funny. The last time we tried taking the training wheels off, she couldn't balance for a second without falling over. Today she gets on her bike and just goes like a pro. Seems like there's no such thing as gradual improvement with kids. All or nothing.

Not to get too sappy but the day we took her home, I got misty thinking about running beside her as she learned to ride her bike. I can't believe that day is here already.

I admit that I own a pair of Crocs. They are perfect to wear mowing the lawn(especially when the lawn sometimes has undiscovered canine landmines). They are very easy to clean.

I own a pair that I wear for going out to the garage and around the yard. It is hard to beat them for convenience. They are very nice for our two little rug rats. They love them. Besides, if Mr. Ferrel is looking for dbags, he need not look further than the closest mirror.

I never wear socks with the Birks. I do have a pair of shorts like those though.

Apparently I was too busy five nights ago to write this (or more likely that I simply forgot), but it has truly been a pleasure to be a part of this great group of guys and gals on GPL the past three years. I look forward to meeting a bunch more of you in Pittsburgh next April (including you, Dontrelle).

[Slap Shot]

I know this goes without saying, but sometimes it's easy to take stuff like this for granted. Both my sons today (8 and soon 10) came up to me when I got home from work and offered up a big hug and, "Love ya, Dad" moment and they didn't even ask me to buy them anything. Kidding but they are both saddened by the death of a family member and it was a nice touch to come home to.

As much as I don't like Pittsburgh, I hope we can go...I'll bring you to Lemieux's bar and hopefully my party isn't asked to leave this time.
And we better make res at the Embassy Suites so we can ride the turtle!

Good ol' fashioned sloppy joes (with some additions to spice it up a little). Pair it up with an ice cold brew, and you've got yourself a helluva comfort meal.

I made enough for about 3 meals, so I should try that. Sounds good. Any particular kind that stands out? I have some marble jack right now, and I can imagine that sharp cheddar would work well, too.

Make an open-faced Sloppy Joe topped with sharp cheddar over Texas toast. And spice the meat up with some jalapenos.
