Jim's cafe Sunday 8th November! Come in and say hi!

1. What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?

2. What social stigma does society need to get over?

3. What food have you never eaten but would really like to try?

4. What’s something you really resent paying for?

5 are some unusual places you’ve been?

6. Where do you get your news?

1. Hot sauce and saltine crackers

2. Single parents

3. Any kind of duck 🦆

4. Air for my tires

5. The Olympic Village in Atlanta GA during the 1996 summer games. My best friend was working security and was able to get me a pass to get inside. It was surreal, like a heavily fortified "city within a city".

6. I check in across the entire spectrum, from MSNBC to Fox, and everything in between. I like to hear all sides of a story, though I am an unabashed "liberal"- tarian...Lately I've been looking at NPR and BBC frequently. I pretty much avoid the extreme right-wing tabloid "news", i.e., breitbart, newsmax, worldnetdaily, blaze, etc., though I must admit, those are good for a chuckle from time to time..

Not weird to me at all and it's freaking yummy.

Oh yeah, with just the right amount of butter and salt? Delicious. Sometimes I sprinkle a little shredded cheese and ham on top. I'd get up and go make some for breakfast right now, but I'm out of rice

sending rice up north...do you have any bacon? My stomach's making funny noises and it's all your fault.

 

[Human Ex Machinae]

Lol, mine is making those noises, too. And yep, I've got bacon! Ok, my hunger finally overpowered my laziness, so I'm going to go make an omelet, bacon, and some toast. I'll send you some bacon in exchange for the rice

Thanks for the tag @Champagne. My phone says it'll be a very sunny day.

1. What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
My favorite meal is a combo of many different flavours and I can’t possibly tell what’s weird. Everything I eat, if you ask my ex lol.

2. What social stigma does society need to get over?
All of them.

3. What food have you never eaten but would really like to try?
I like to try all local food whenever I travel. Just not multiple legged little creatures. Unless I degustate all local eau de vies first.

4. What’s something you really resent paying for?
Taxes.

5 are some unusual places you’ve been?
Tana Toraja.

6. Where do you get your news?
I don’t care much about news anymore. If I’m interesting in something particular I check a few sources.
Sometimes I can’t help myself and read an article on certain conservative media in my country, because the language they use makes me fucking laugh out loud.

 

[PrincessPure]

1. What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
Tea and cheese puff
2. What social stigma does society need to get over?
I don't think anything should be considered childish. Maybe I wanna dress a certain way ....... What's wrong with a barbie logo on an adult's clothes?
3. What food have you never eaten but would really like to try? Caviar. And lots of French cuisine.
4. What’s something you really resent paying for? I don't pay for anything except makeup, the unnecessary pile of clothes or cups of coffee thankfully. My parents pay for everything.
5 are some unusual places you’ve been? I live in one freaking unusual place drear....

Good Morning or afternoon. Thanks for tagging me @Champagne. Never heard this one by Eminem.

1. Box mac n cheese and tuna. Carrots n peanut butter. Lime juice in soup.

Dessert drink. Cream soda, milk, chocolate syrup.

2. Indoor play areas when children were little. I feel like children should play outside. Ah well.

3. Visited John Belushis gravesite. There were joints all over it. Hes buried in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusets, USA.

Civil War sites, Disney. Redwood Forest as baby.

4. FOX, Newsy

5. Social stigma. I get upset when I hear how homeless people, mentally ill, or immigrants looked upon. They arent stupid or smelly. They may be poor or down on their luck. I wish their was a better balance.

Hi from my shadow.

Duck can be eaten for Turkey Day...wait that didn't sound right.

HI
and thanks for tagging me for this happy and relaxing café @Champagne .

today is a good coffee and heavy cream day with something like a bagel and cream cheese. not into any weird combos right now but i have had a few that even though they seemed perfectly ok to me, did raise some eyebrows by those who witnessed me having em. so here i go with the questions and weird combos is first! i do want to emphasize that i’ve never found these weird but that others have.
• peanut butter and creamcheese - most often on rye bread but really great on a hot dog bun.
• natto and finely chopped kale mixed with the seasoning the natto comes with. (natto is japanese fermented soy beans)
• orange juice and buttermilk in a 2:1 ratio.
yeah, i think these are all pretty tame. i love them all!

Q2 What social stigma does society need to get over? to me stigma itself is a “bad” word so if anything has that word applied to it, society does need to get over it with positive constructive work. stigma just isolates and puts off making things better.

3. What food have you never eaten but would really like to try? i won’t eat bugs or most internal organs etc. slimy creatures and plants seem fairly off putting too but i have had things that appear to fall into that realm (natto for example). i can’t think of anything else at the moment but i do feel curious and if introduced to something and someone does eat it and likes/loves it, why not? i’ll approach this on a case by case basis.

4. What’s something you really resent paying for? insurance. parking tickets. a filthy subway ride. broken eggs. a cheeseburger in a bun with a rubber glove included inside.

5 are some unusual places you’ve been? yes! 🤪 ! they certainly were! (been, but i can’t think of actual places atm)

6. Where do you get your news? background noise, radio, tv, internet, conversation.

today is sunny and warm. think i’ll take a relaxing walk in the park and see if any of my wildlife friends are out ready to pose for the smart phone.

🌞🌞🌞 to all!

I try to listen to each side but lately it's been difficult. Taking a break from politics for the rest of my life! @LonelyHiker

I think its smart for people to be at home with parents @Witty⭐️Sarcasm ⭐️. You can look out for each other and save money. The guy I went out 3x with. Hes been saving to buy his own place and lives with his 83 year old mother. I think he should stay with her, shes old

White rice with 2 or 3 fried eggs on top. When you break the yoke and it starts mixing with the rice oh, man, so good. I also really like the Dominican 'Mangu'.

ah, sounds like i’d love it! and this reminds me that in japan, a common breakfast could be tamago gohan which is raw egg over rice and then mixed in and a little soy sauce. i realize many detest raw eggs but this is delicious in my opinion (the eggs i had in japan were laid only hours earlier straight from the farm btw) and add some natto on top - its so delish!
