Cooking at home with meat you grind yourself no, at a restaurant yes.

Yes. Medium-well done, a slice of mild Cheddar on top, layers of thinly-sliced onion, and a bit of mustard with dill, all on a whole wheat or multigrain bun covered in sesame seeds. :Drool:

What - no second patty (all beef of course), special sauce, lettuce, or pickles?
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

DRHuff wrote: special sauce, lettuce, or pickles I think you meant, "Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. It's a good time, for the great taste of McDonald's today!" Loved that jingle! Reminds me of simpler times...

Yes but he had already included the cheese, onions and sesame seed bun - I was just filling in the missing parts.

You are absolutely correct - you don't make a billion dollars a year selling what you described!

Anyone who's ever tasted that sorry excuse for beer realizes that the ! at the beginning is Boolean.

Hey, Coors Light, mixed half'n'half with Coke is pretty good.
The bartenders hate what it does to the glasses, though.
|
|
|
|

Normally, I'd object to diluting beer on religious grounds but I guess we're talking about Coors here, so that doesn't apply. Still sounds utterly horrible, though!

Just a little thing I learned in Germany. Any pils will do, of course. But you can't drink too many "Diesels".
|

Ah, curious. Just did a quick Google on diesel and it tends to come back with lager/cider/blackcurrant which is something that I've always known as a snakebite and black. I've certainly never heard that called diesel in the UK.
As to the coke and lager version - I've never seen anyone order one so difficult to know what it would be called here.
We were having a discussion in the pub the other day about mixed drinks that under-40s would be unaware of:
1) Mickey Mouse - half and half lager and bitter - really a product of the 70s/80s brewing cartels producing so much truly awful keg bitter, the lager killed the taste to some extent. No idea why it was called Mickey Mouse.
2) Brown and mild - a hideously sweet concoction that's kind of redundant now that barely anyone makes mild.
3) Barley wine and lager - used to be a perennial favourite amongst female alcoholics who wanted to reach their destination in a hurry.

Light and bitter was also quite popular in the late 60s.

Maybe the pils/coke was just a regional thing. Although at this late date, I don't remember if it was Berlin or Rheinland-Pfalz.
Though even if it was the Pfalz, it might have been a DDR thing, since the owner of the pub I spent most of my time at was from the East.

I tried a pint once as I had seen it drunk in US films & TV programs and found urine that was carbonated! not ...

Apparently I have more respect for urine than do you - although I couldn't say from any urine-based experience if your comparison is accurate.

Actually I'm shocked. I bid on a software project and was awarded the project by a company in India. They even paid half up front!
When was the last time that indian workers were displaced by an American?

Remember South Korea? It was cheap. In a few years it wasnt. Then manufacturing moved to Vietnam.
Perhaps India isnt so cheap these days?

Makes me wonder what sort of rates you're charging. :-p
You sure you're not underselling yourself?
|
|
|
|
|
My rates were well above what I thought they could afford, but I{m happy toi bewrong.
My normal process is to estimate my effort and cost, then double it and newgotiate from there. In this case they accepted with no nogotiaition and sent patment once I assured them I knew how to do the work.
It{s basically a modification of part of what I did for my PHD work, so I can do it.
