DIBS, is there any food Americans won’t wrap in bacon? By the way, I posted the link with the discussion of various British foods in mind from the other day. The foods in the website I posted make a Chip Butty look healthy by comparison!
thanks snappy ! 🙂

hey kids. I answered lots of questions about the photo that Mr B put up in the Thursday Links thread…
Biff: My tummy hurts just looking at that stuff!
Rob: My good friend teaches learning disabled teens and takes them out around the city often. Let me ask her where she takes them and I’ll get back to you.
BRG: Hey girl! Where ya been? 🙂
Oh, and to link the two topics above: A Mediterranean diet is very healthy.
Eat up!
Sorry Rob, I’d try to help you but my brain is in it’s own dark place right now.
Have fun though.
Biff, those were particularly revolting this early in the morning. Almost as bad as a visit from randolph.
I love food that’s bad for you, sweetbreads come to mind, but I’d never touch any of that crap!!!!
^^^ And that’s my contribution for today. It should be read with sarcasm. Let the stereotypes fly. Have fun all. I’m outta here.
Cobble asked me to start today with something about the Middle East that people don’t know.
Joke of the Day
“There are so many misconceptions about what Arab women look like, how they dress, what they wear. There are only two images of Arab woman in the media. They either picture them in a full burka or a belly dancing outfit. I have news for you; underneath that burka IS a belly dancing outfit. The Middle East IS just ooooone biiiiig strip club waiting to happen.â€
hey guys good morning. serious question today…
my 17 year old sister and her mentor (she is 37) want to visit brooklyn and hang out with me (as some of you already know we met for the first time a few weeks ago). anyway, im trying to think of fun things to do with her. i got a huge laundry list of things that would be fun from the mentor but i dont know if those are even slightly feasible. (seriously one of them was snowboarding) hahaha.
she’s 17, identifies as a goth (i cant believe there are still goths under the age of 40 but whatever), and she has severe learning disabilities (tho i dont think that should matter when it comes to visiting places?) she’s not really interested in museums, but i told her id look up some possible art openings or gallery openings with dark themed shows that might interest her. does anyone have any other suggestions? i suggested we stop at pearl paint pick up a couple of sketch pads and draw at prospect park, the mentor was totally into that idea but my sister didnt really respond to that.
any other ideas?
it’s funny asking for advice what a teenage girl would want to do when half the time im a teenage girl myself, but she’s all goth and stuff and that’s not the kinda inner teenage girl i am (if that makes ANY sense).? she made a huge collage of hot guys and they all had long hair and wore make-up! lol. we totally have the opposite taste in men that’s fer sure, but i really havent the slightest idea how to approach this. i am going to tutor her to take the SAT’s tho! she will be the second person in my family (other than me) who actually goes to college if we can get this done 🙂
sorry for the long post, it’s easier to ask at anonymous places like than friends sometimes.my friends just insist we go on a reality tv show together or tyra or oprah. no way. i actually want to be a good influence in her life.
