Oh no. So anyway, tonight we're having a stereotypical American meal that takes 25 minutes off your life; Sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. It's quite good, everything made from scratch since I don't have a job anymore. How about you?

I'm not going to lie, that sounds really good. I'm sorry about your job, but your dinner sounds amazing.

Honestly, it's almost a relief to hear someone say "sorry about your job" without adding the caveat "but DoD/DoE/NIH/USAID is fraud/waste/bad/scam" to the statement. And yes, it was a pretty darned good dinner as long as healthy wasn't one of the criteria.

Im going to have a meal of a block of cheddar cheese with melted cheese on top, with grated permesan sprinkled on top, basted with a 5lb tub of butter.

This sounds as delicious as 64 slices of American cheese.

American cheese is not really cheese, and kinda gross compared to any other popular cheese.

Pfft. Found the Canadian.

(PLEASEHELPOMGTAKEMEIN!!)

No, American here. This was a sad day for me to hear those words, but it makes sense. We treat it like cheese, but it’s wannabe cheddar. Besides, cheddar is superior.

Also, Canada has way better quality food than America. We’re kinda fucked.

That's not really an authentic American meal unless you deep fry it in HFCS.

Is that pepper? Nope… gunpowder.

Freedom powder.

Ah yes. Americas original pop rocks.

You might consider adding a couple eggs to that. Since you can afford "permesan" and butter, I feel like it's possible you might even be able to afford the eggs without having to take out a small personal loan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Permesan is just fancy Parmesan.

I cant afford TWO whole eggs though. Thats just silly now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

A small loan of 1 million dollars.

We had a nice homemade Thai curry here (and no, I don't live on Thailand)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 31 minutes ago

I know how that goes. We sometimes have watermelon for a snack (and no I don't live on the Africa).
