Since Butter is telling on Mrs Butter, Ill tell on Mrs Junkie. She dips her Wendy's fries in the Frosty. No ketchup needed.....

Me too! We don't have Wendy's in Australia though. Well we do have a place called Wendy's but it is an ice cream place.

Maybe there should be a thread for Random BS!!! :) Or to talk dirty to each other. I thought there was a food porn thread somewhere. lol HINT LAURA :D

I think this thread encompasses all that now!

I mean look above you have people getting off on French fries in milkshakes....

By the that's nasty! Everyone knows if you're eating a burger you put them in there, nice and neat in little French fry rows...

I love morels fried in butter. We used to live on a farm in Indiana and they grew all over our land. Several times we caught trespassers stealing them. They are expensive to buy at the markets!

See its a beautiful thing these morels!! We get to 'hunt" them in April here. It's always exciting and then you obsess when you do get into a patch. Always there is gotta be one more. lol We do tend to hafta beat out the elk. They always eat um all if your to late. :)

How amazing to have them all over your land. I cant even find them in a market here. My husband used to sell some to a local bar years back, after they found out he had a honey hole to pick. :)

Yes OCD.. Sometimes the rituals drive my crazy :P

When I was younger I used to mix mayo and ketchup together for my fries or drown them in vinegar and salt.

Wow fries! The miracle food! Look at how versatile they are???

I mean shit even if you were to find a three month old one in the car you could still utilize it..

Like clean under your nails with it... Or use it as a coffee stirrer or scrape the ice of the windshield...

There are times when reading this site that I feel i'm perving on an out of control self help group for "American insomniac sex and food addicts anonymous"... and any time now I'm going to get caught and punished for enjoying it. Don't you folks ever sleep? ?!!!

But deep fried turkey! WTF! An image made all the worse because our Californian friends - who we've spent Christmas Day with a couple of times - once referred to our Christmas turkey as "a nice little bit o' chicken". They lived in Texas for quite a while, where apparently turkeys are the size of teradactyls. Oh, and they served us pumpkin pie for dessert... a bl**dy roasting vegetable for dessert on Christmas Day! And no, it's not better with cinnamon and cream.

Hehehe... To my defense I'm in the best part of the USA... The west coast and it's only 10 pm here. And did you just talk shittED about pumpkin pie? Deep fried turkey I'll give you because that is wrong for so many reason. But pumpkin pie is an national treasure!

pumpkin is used in savory dishes in Australia and New Zealand. Wacky eh? Also every winter squash is called pumpkin. They use sweet potatoes as a savory too! And put pickled beets, fried eggs, and pineapple on hamburgers! If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'!

Well you guys started it with Vegemite. The mere fact that its made from the stuff scraped off the inside of beer barrels qualifies it as an Australian national treasure.

I'd heard on the grapevine you are a "blow in" Misty, but that last post is pretty scarey. A burger without beetroot and pineapple is a travesty. Add a fried egg and it's "the chef's special".

Now Misty, as you well know in Australia a "squash" is a vegetable that squashes when thrown or stood on. A pumpkin, on the other hand, will squash you (when thrown), or at the least fracture your skull. Next you'll be telling me they call zuchinni something completely different.

Squash with soft skin like zucchini is called summer squash in the US because it won't last until the winter. Winter squash has a hard skin so you can save it to eat in the winter. Makes sense to me. :)

Yes I'm American and have lived in Australia four years. I love it! But it is a different world. :) in some ways Australia is like the US 20 years ago and in other ways it might as well be Mars!

When I was a child my mom dated an Australian for awhile..I never understood a word that man was saying :D One time he sent her to KFC and as she was leaving he said make sure you get some "drippings"?? Wtf?? So she goes to KFC and gets the chicken and stuff and asks the people there if she can buy some of the grease they fry the chicken in too :P

Like the US 20 years ago?? In what way? And keep in mind you live in Queensland... and remember that crossing the border you have to turn back the clocks one hour and ten years.

I've only been in the US once - east coast and Grand Canyon (which certainly lives up to its hype) - but don't recall feeling like I'd jumped into the future. And the coffee. AWFUL! (caps intended... wrt 'she who must not be named'). What a shock that was.

make sure you get some "drippings"?? Wtf??

I only know it's fat... don't know what he'd be thinking of.... as I said earlier, we send all the crazy Aussies off shore.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
