the thread that can't be derailed....

I'm turning into a werebear.

Or more than likely some other form of hairy beast.


Rawr?

Australian hamburgers have sliced pickled beetroot in them.  This confuses Americans.

If you buy purple heirloom carrots, cook them separately or you will have a purple chicken casserole.
Purple potatoes, purple pumpkin, purple onions, purple parsnips, purple chicken.  And purple hands if you don't wear gloves.
And they taste exactly the same as the orange ones.

All I have to do is buy purple heirloom carrots and I can have all kinds of purple food?    Cool

*Wonders if it will work for spaghetti*

[Shantel]

Never experienced purple peee but I have done the OMG my butt is bleeding !!!  and then its ... oh right, I ate beets lastnight.

Hehehehe I'm so glad I'm not alone with beets butt syndrome. It's so scary at first!

I'm not allowed to paint my nails, I painted my toe nails green.... I had to wear slippers around my house for like a week since i couldnt find a way to remove the paint from my toe nails xD

OMG I hate beets.  They are on my list of unpalatable foods.
Brussels sprouts top the list.

[Jamie D]

Oh also.

My sister wonders whether British people (non-American English speakers in general, I guess) say "Gesundheit" instead of "Bless you" the way some Americans do. I told her I'd track down a British person and ask. This is close enough.

A lot of ethnic Germans came to the United States in the 1700's and 1800's.  The "Pennsylvania Dutch" were really the Pennsylvania Deutsch.

Brussels sprouts, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas are all disgusting, the taste and texture is without a doubt the problem. How they ever made it on the food chain is a wonder to me!

Sounds like you dislike all of the Brassicas ... also known as the "cruciferous" vegetables

Except there's plenty of other cruciferous vegetables 🔗 [Link: marysherbs.com/Miscellaneous/CruciferousVegetablesP.htm/] besides these.

Actually, I think the group is mostly comprised of leafy greens.

>_<

[Pica Pica]

Werebears, I had one of them, I had the blue one.

[justmeinoz]

Yes VM you can have purple food.  The chicken drumstick was purple all the way through. 
Ah, Hobart weather.  31 C (90+ F) yesterday.  Pouring with rain and windy today.  My water view has just disappeared into the murk.

[ativan]

It's supposed to be winter here in MN. So far, it has gone from fall to spring. More days with highs above freezing.
2012, the year that hell didn't freeze, we are truly doomed...

Beets are terrible.  They taste like dirt.  I mentioned this to my wife once, and she now they always taste like dirt and I've ruined them forever.  So I guess maybe I did that here too.  Always glad to help!

Also, Australians confuse Americans in general.  I think it's the only nation more manic than we are that doesn't stone people.  New Zealanders always (sample size: two) seem to be nice though, if charmingly naive.  One NZ girl at a conference in Chicago asked for "a quesadilla with cheese, please."

not listening not listening not listening *covers ears and sings*

TIRED. TIRED. TIRED. Why do I always choose to torment myself in such ways?

[foosnark]

"She now they always?"  How do I manage to type these things?

Actually that might work as a song title, as would the palindrome "O stone, be not so."

[BlueSloth]

Mmmmm, quesadillas... the apex of my culinary skills.  I never managed to make purple ones, though.

Anyway...  does anybody else wonder why people just paint their nails and stop painting there?  What's so special about nails?  If they were more like sloth claws I could understand it.

[Julian]

Makes me think of henna. From the nails to the hands and beyond.

I haven't played with henna in years. Must get me some.

[justmeinoz]

Just to disgust people even more I am going vego for tonight's dinner.   Roasted vegetable medly with herbs and spices. And   .....drum roll..... roasted beetroot!

Maybe someday face painting will be in fashion... if only to foil facial recognition software 🔗 [Link: ahprojects.com/blog/c/itp/].
