Went to an indoor boardwalk thing this weekend and had funnel cake and deep fried oreos.
Omg.. I had deep fried Oreos at Plucker's.. It's amazing.. (〒︿〒
You goddamn know it!
Sounds odd, but so interesting. :3 Would definitely try it!
Like everything else in the world.

I actually don't reply care for the butter taste. Super pretzels for life.
My friend never had fried oreos before and she complained they were too sweet. ;.;Omg.. I had deep fried Oreos at Plucker's.. It's amazing.. (〒︿〒

Whaaat. ;_; Use psychology on her.
Hah, I feel you! Everytime I offer something, and they refuse. "Oh, well if you want some, just tell me." (Yes. YES! THEY'RE ALL MINE!)

Haha, I bought them for her because she said she never had them. I was just surprised there are people who thing they're too sweet.
:O You've been missing out on a lot my friend.
It's pretty much an Oreo dipped in funnel cake batter, deep fried with powered sugar sprinkled on top.
I've never even had funnel cake.

So good.
Oh yes, there are some people who can't handle such sweetness. They weren't blessed like us to handle such godly desserts.
Dafuq. What is wrong with you? Go get one, right NAOW.

Anyone ever have fish balls and broad noodle cooked in peanut butter? Strange combination, but amazingly good. I tried googling it, but can't find any pictures of it. The pictures below are just examples. I think they might be a unique recipe by a street vendor here in New York. Tastes great, surprised it hasn't caught on.

Interesting read. I have a friend who is half Jewish and half Indian. We used to joking call him a Half-Jew all the time. He never seemed to be offended by it but now I wonder.
Also, I have heard a lot about Jewish male/Asian female pairings. It seems like the majority of the White male/Asian female pairings I know of are of this persuasion, second only to Catholic white/Asian female pairings. From personal experience it didn't seem like family compatibility (stemming from culture/religion) was the reason and was more often the source of conflict. But there has to be more to it than the White (Jewish?) man's love for Asian women and vice versa.
Funnily enough, my dating a Jewish girl is the only example I can think of where the Jewish/Asian pairing wasn't Jewish man/Asian woman. She had self-professed Asian fever, but ended up marrying a white guy (not sure if he's Jewish) anyway.
Peanut butter in noodles is amazing.
I haven't had it with fish balls, but my favorite home cooked dish is sesame sauce noodles (ma jian mian). The sauce is seasoned sesame oil & paste mixed with peanut butter. Served with minced garlic pork & tofu, sweet vinegar, and pickled mustard greens. Cold noodles are a must. Oh man.
Here is my shamelessly instagrammed pic:
Yeah, I get the noodles in the 2nd pic like once a month. It's tasty.
Shit is like $30 at the attraction park I sometimes go to in the summer. Nobody ever wants to split one.

I really do think that the majority of these pairings is Jewish male/Asian female and is a part of a larger White male/Asian female cultural preference. And yes, it seems like being "Jewish" supposedly stems from the mother's side, but I don't think these pairing are occurring because Jewish guys are trying to convert Asian women and want to further their Jewish heritage. It's because they find Asian women attractive.

Always. ;D
I want one, because I never had one, haha.
I've only had fried twinkies. Fried oreos sound odd, but I'd try them too.
I guess fried bananas are too common in Asian desserts to mention.
You must! You will not regret it!
Mmmm.. Fried bananas.

Yeah, but add some peanut butter to it. Some hot liquified peanut butter as the sauce. It's probably not that hard to make. Just add peanut butter.
The pics there aren't the actual thing. They're the ingredients for non-Chinese Asians to visualize what I'm talking about. Though the sauce in the second picture kind of looks close, but you know it's soy sauce and not peanut butter.

Oh, nice. That sounds like some amazing things can go down. I know that it would for me, hah.
That's sweet. Couldn't put together that last sentence.
Why not both?
Way to make me feel bad, bunny. Geez. D:
Oooh, well isn't that awesome. Make it a very memorable one! Have each other's hearts beating simultaneously. :3

Now that is silly. I don't know why people get so caught up over a fake Holiday. I have a friend who thought Valentine's Day on on Friday the 13th this year cause he couldn't give a shit; and he has a wife. If I don't get a day off and the mail still comes to my door, it's not an actual Holiday. It's no different from being single today or being single this Saturday.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
I wanted to let the locks flow and grow my hair out but I need it cut for new year's. Why is this a thing

I was being sarcastic to TroubledBat. I don't really care about wacky holidays in general as long as I'm able to get a day off sometimes. I could make any day into Mothers or Fathers' Day instead of actually celebrating it on those exact dates. I still have to work anyway, and it'll be fun dealing with all the idiots asking why I couldn't take off to celebrate with my SO.
Question: "Oh how come you're working?"
Response: "Because people procrastinate every holiday making the rest of us work."

use lots of gel and slick it back. no one will know
i had a headstart and growing it out now. going to kill my hair soon from the bleach lol.
Get out!
Where are these donuts? I must know.
Are you in Chicago? Here are my favorites:
Favorite donut place? Donut Vault.
It garnered best donut shop of the year a few years back, and ranks highly every year:
My favorite there is their old fashioned donuts. Good initial crunch but very soft.
All time favorite donut: Doughscuit at Endgrain (Picture not mine):
Part donut, part biscuit. Great honey filling. Gawwwd. I don't hunger for donuts right now while dieting... but the Doughscuit is an exception.
Other places I like:
Do-Rite, Firecakes
People like, but I'm MEH on:
Stan's, Glazed and Infused

Saturday, my wife has something planned for us in the morning and afternoon, and then we're having Chinese New Year dinner with my family. Sunday, I'm taking her to dinner at KaGaYa, which is supposed to be a really high-end ($$$$ on Yelp) shabu shabu place.
Did you guys hear that ABC is picking up a new show, starring Ken Jeong?

Whoa, I'll be in Chicago next week on business travel. Might check this one out.
Then again, after I win the Powerball tonight, I'll probably skip the trip.

This might be great news in that ABC is taking FOB and Asian-led sitcoms seriously. But if all the comedy in this ends up being Mr. Jeong's racist stereotype schtick, then maybe not.

KaGaYa is legit, enjoy!
Endgrain is a bit up north in the neighborhood, might be a bit of a diversion if you're here on business.
If you're going to be in the loop, definitely check out the Donut Vault. You may or may not have to wait in line though (during the summer the wait could get ridiculous), so I'd go there right when they open at 8.
