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.

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
