What am I reading
Hi from a state where Fred Nile holds the balance of power in the senate. Wonder if my kid can catch the bus from Sydney to Melbourne for school every day.

I was being facetious (hooray for Poe's Law), but David Chang is the dude who runs the Momofuku chain of restaurants. Considered a pretty good chef by many accounts.
But Americans and burgers can sometimes be weird, so whatever. Though I do think sometimes we tend to pile too many differing and competing flavours on burgers and pizzas.

I'm certainly guilty of that. My brother eats the burgers with a bread roll, a patty with some cheese and some ketchup. I put cheese, beetroot egg, lettuce, ketchup, mustard and mayo/aioli and pickles. occasionally sauerkraut goes on.
I have stopped putting chips in the burger. I have fairy plain Pizza though, usually just pepperoni, sometime with onion and capsicum. occasionally i swap the peperoni for feta cheese.
I'm going out for lunch today. It'll either be grill'd or pizza. leaning more towards grill'd
Agreed, less is often more with both. I'm a big fan of a good margherita pizza.

Yeah that was my plan as well, go to Copenhagen and spend half a day there before I catch my connecting flight.

Can play around find a cheap flight then see if you can find a cheap flight to Frankfurt.

Wow, I don't agree with any of this.
And I'm never going to agree with this. Who is this and why is he so wrong?
Eggplant and broccoli defense force representing! SHEESH. Nothing like a nice piece of grilled eggplant on your burger that's for sure.
MAYBE I'LL HAVE ONE FOR LUNCH HUH
Oh hey! Reminder that if you're in Brisbane tomorrow, I'll be at the ZICS comic convention thingie in The Edge, part of the State Library at Southbank! COMICS COMICS COMICS!

C'mon man, you're missing bacon and caramlised onion.

welp, Gazunta is now officially dead to the half of Ausgaf with working tastebuds.
bacon yes, caramelised onion is just too overpowering to have in anything but the smallest quantities. I like the first bite and the second but after the third, I'm picking it off
I could be wrong, but I think in that case the onion just hasn't been caramelised properly. They should be soft and dark brown and not that strong tasting. They take a while to do this way, so most take out burger joints won't have it.
I like to fry a chopped whole onion with a little bit of 'real' butter until nice and soft and then slowly add a tbsp of balsamic vinegar with a tbsp of brown sugar, perfection
.Cracked me up when I saw it! That and Frozen Cheese Pizza made me laugh.

Well-known American chef. No surprise his opinion is different since the food culture is different.
I can even live without the cheese (but prefer not to).

Napkins need to be sold in this aisle too.
Nope, blokes a lunatic. Bet he has his stew in separate bowls for meat and veg,
Well that's a bit awesome.
As is that, off to go have a look.
The problem with bacon on a burger is that it's usually barely cooked.
The real question should be "do you go for the double patty?"
Stop hating on broccoli it's amazing!
I agree it is often not cooked properly, that is no reason to exclude it from a burger, you just need to make it yourself. And yeah, broccoli is godly.
I was scarred for life as a kid from broccoli, used to have it piled on my plate, hated it but if I didn't eat it there would be trouble (e.g. no dessert :O).
Every time I go to eat it these days, I just can't do it and the memories flood back. My gf is an amazing cook so I am sure she is cooking it right, she loves it, me, "get it away, burn it with fire".

Put cheese on it!

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I like broccoli and I love brussels sprouts. If it weren't for my warfarin I'd eat tons of the stuff.
I dislike cheese though. Unless it's cooked into what I'm eating (pizza, lasagne, etc).

Broccoli is fine, the other 2 fucking suck. Way too much effort to get them to taste halfway decent.
Did I wake up in bizarro Australia? This seems way too fucking intelligent a decision for our country right now.

Brussels Sprouts are the one thing I just can't seem to like. I love all types of veggies and food, in fact there probably isn't anything I wouldn't eat. Give me raw oysters, eggplant, liver, black budding, haggis.
Love it all!
But them brussels sprouts. I always have to drown out the flavor when I eat them. Its just always bitter. I still buy them though, heck I have them growing in my garden! I've cooked them every way you can think, and I still can't get them a way I like.

Did you wash it down with a nice nutella donut from Doughnut Time?
Hey guys I like eggplant lasagna don't hate me ok bye.
Finally got around to playing the BLOPS 3 beta last night, lots of fun! The wall running and movement in general is alot easier to control than I though it would be. Hooked me in after only one game.
I am getting more and more interested in that mad max game too.

No no no. It takes away from broccoli's clean taste. The same with cauliflower. Or all vegetables for that matter.

I don't actually do that haha. Used to be the only way my mom could get my brother to eat veggies though.

Disliking eggplant and zucchini.
I hate this country.

I hate beetroot in Australia
It's great, but my son doesn't like me playing it because I don't win all the time online, so I don't get to play it much. Even the single player is surprisingly good.
Don't worry, the chaplaincy programme is still in full effect.

Actually moved away from my son's first school partially because of this, and other more major reasons.

My girlfriend doesn't eat carrots in Australia because she says they taste different to carrots in Taiwan.
Don't worry, it was well offset by the GST shenanigans.
Because it's reality tv garbage.

Are you buying farmers market ones or just the bland ones from Safeway et al?
Doughnut Time? More like DoughNOT Time. I don't get the hype, they're fucking bagels with sprinkles on them. If you're gonna call yourself Doughnut Time, fucking sell doughnuts!
I also tried one of their milkshakes and immediately contracted diabetes. Show some fucking restraint, please? You're trying to be Max Brenner but failing MISERABLY.
Are catholic schools crazy now or something?
I went to one, religion was split between here are the stories of jesus, what morals are they trying to teach? And here are the history's of Christianity, and other religions, how they exist what they are etc.
Church was a few times a year, xmas easter and patron saints days (of which we got 2 extra days off a year!)
And religion had no impact on any other classes teachings or outcomes?
Is that not the case with most catholic schools?
As an aside, chicko, was that your finding too at blacks? Or did my year level get it weird.

We can't be friends.
I am curious to know how it will work practically. At least beyond the amazons of the world.
I guess just like Choice argues...
