GM's thread about nothing (32 Viewers)

Omelets are weird. Chicken and waffles with hash browns on the side is the ideal breakfast.
If we're talking best breakfast, give me a chicken fried steak and biscuits smothered in sausage country gravy with 2 fried eggs and a few strips of bacon... and just to piss off GM, finish me off with a nice cinnamon bun.

Dope: Breakfast burritos >>>>> pancakes #CampingwithForrst
I must have missed something, but let me go on record as saying: Any breakfast food >>>>> pancakes. #truth
I'm in a very small minority that doesn't regularly eat pancakes, which was odd to me. I never once saw my father eat a pancake. I haven't had one in a long time. I don't like the taste of syrup. Too sweet. I don't like cake frosting much either. They taste about the same to me. Just sickening sweet. I haven't craved sweets for breakfast since I was sitting around in homemade Underroos watching bad cartoons, quietly cursing my parents for never buying sugary cereal and refusing to get cable.I might need more therapy. :unsure:
Try some pancakes with apple butter. Not sickeningly sweet like syrup. Tasty
Apple butter is good. I used to eat that on toast long ago. Good stuff. Never tried it on a pancake, though. When given a choice between pancakes or hashbrowns, I always choose hashbrowns. I love to dump pepper and hot sauce on them, then stir it around real good and toss in my eggs and breakfast meat. Then I like to fold it into my toast. That's a much better experience for me than a pancake.
But those two breakfast experiences are completely different and not comparable in my opinion. Any thing with eggs and breakfast meat is in its own category. Pancakes, waffles & french toast (any sweet) has its own category as well.
What do you mean they aren't comparable? We're talking about breakfast choices. What do you mean 'own category'? When I go to a restaurant, I see one menu. Most of them give me a choice between hashbrowns or pancakes with my order as a side. I don't think I've ever opted for pancakes over hashbrowns and I sure as hell haven't ordered a full stack of waffles or Dutch pancakes when an omelets is also an option.French toast? Do you guys eat Cookie Crisp cereal too?
what's wrong GB? you've been acting very shuke-ish the last few days
WHAT THE #### IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
 
My ideal breakfast is usually a gormet breakfast sandwich with over easy eggs, ham off the bone, some fancy cheese and lightly toasted rye bread and side of nice and crispy garlic and onion potatoes. OJ + coffee and maybe a few bites of pancakes or french toast to top it off.
Where do you get "a few bites"? :confused:

Australian Shepherds are smart, chill, and generally smaller dogs
Chill? They are good dogs and certainly great family dogs but they require a ton of work. They are a herding dog that needs a lot of physical and mental work per day or they can get very destructive. If you can do that they are great dogs, if not they can be your worst nightmare.
I just know the few I see at the park. Never heard one bark.
Hawk's right. With 4-6 hours work a day, they may be the best dog going. Less than that and they are huge problems.
My parents had an Australian Shepherd. Aside from a daily walk when schedules permitted, there wasn't much "work" being done.
It wasn't your dog too?? :tumbleweed:
It was after I had moved away. So I guess it was mine, in the sense that their couch was "mine" or their silverware was "mine". :tumbleweed:

my lady and I will sometimes split a short stack of pancakes with our breakfast. The ideal pancakes are the pumpkin spice ones from one of our favorite places.

Speaking of dogs, I'm pretty sure our 13 year old beagle shepherd has gone completely deaf. I had noticed some loss of hearing over the past year, but after we put her in a kennel when we went on vacation, it seems completely gone. Is this something we need to have looked into, or just a sign of old age?

 
Australian Shepherds are smart, chill, and generally smaller dogs
Boy, I don't know if I can agree with this. Parents got one in while I was in college and while I really loved this dog (very smart) he was a handful for 8 years before cancer hit him. They got another Aussie (still have her) and she is very entertaining, very smart, but not chill at all. Aussies can go either way and it's hard to predict, but if you get an energetic Aussie it can be a lot of work. They will bark a LOT.
 
My 41st birthday is in a few weeks. I'm taking the Friday and Monday off (Monday is my birthday). Friday, the wife and I are abandoning the kids with my mother who will be visiting and taking the Victoria Clipper up to Victoria where we will spend the night and come back the next afternoon. For Sunday, I'm debating either going golfing or taking an all day handgun class (I want to buy a handgun which will be a major battle with the wife as well). I could go golfing on Monday but that would mean golfing by myself since everybody else I currently golf with will be working. That's not a terrible idea but golfing by yourself is always a crapshoot if you get paired up with douchers.

 
I don't get this "I'm too much of a grown man to eat pancakes, waffles, or french toast" shtick.
Not sure I ever said I was a grown man and have ample evidence out there to prove otherwise. I just don't crave sweet stuff much anymore, especially not for breakfast. :shrug:
Not a dessert guy, eh?
Scotch or port is my dessert if we're out at a nice place. I never eat dessert at home and on occasion will split one with my wife at a restaurant. I like cheese cake, but don't crave it. I like some Ice Cream, but don't eat it very often, maybe 2-3 times a year. I don't like cobblers. I do like apple pie with some vanilla bean ice cream, but don't eat it very often. Bread pudding is okay. Key Lime pie is alright. Banna Pudding with Nilla Wafers is tasty. I just don't order them or buy them for home. I'm fat enough. I don't need help.
 
Query: do men have "comfort foods"? I hear women use this term and while I understand what is meant, I have never in my life sought or obtained comfort from my food.

You did imply that it's childish to eat Fronch toast:
French toast? Do you guys eat Cookie Crisp cereal too?
Or I implied that it was a very sugary item. Open for interpretation, IMO.I grew up with a father who never ate sweets. He also never ate veggies or fruit. I think it might have had an effect on me, I dunno. I've never seen my father drink a soda either.

I haven't had a pancake in years. Do grown ups still eat these?
:confused:
Is that identical to saying 'I'm too much of a grown man'? Or was it more of a question asking if adults still ate pancakes? Because one is a statement and the other was a question. Different, in view.
well days ago you wondered if any adults ate pancakes and today you compared french toast to eating a children's cereal. you also pointed out that the group of manly men you hang out with to watch football never order pancakes. I was just going off memory, but I thought you (or someone else) might have mentioned that these types of foods are typically eaten by women as well.based on all of that stuff, I summarized the general theme of this GMTAN tangent into "only grown men eat things with syrup". Seems to fit pretty well, no?It's cool if you don't like syrup or sweets. who really gives a #### what other people eat for breakfast unless you're a freak that puts ketchup on eggs? Just not sure I've ever thought of eggs as being such a grown up, manly breakfast.

I have breakfast rules. Allow me to share.

Toast - mandatory with any egg dish, especially fried. It must be at leat semi-crisp and have some brown color to it. It should be buttered, but I don't care if its white, wheat, or sourdough (preferred).

Eggs - Always order fried, preferably over easy. If you order scrambled, 99% of all restaurants pour them out of a carton. So I always order over-easy, just to have some chance of getting a fresh egg. Plus they taste better. If you can get fresh scrambled eggs, try them soft scrambled. Omelets are too often screwed up, I usually make it at home if I need one.

Side Meats - Nothing beats crispy fresh bacon, not cooked in a deep fryer (another depressingly common restaurant short cut). Smoked sausage is great but rarely found. Patty sausage is good, if its whole hog, like Owens, Purnells, or Jimmy Dean. To meet the USDA definition of sausage it can have about 60% fat and 40% scraps, so whole hogs is worth the extra cost. Any ham sliced in the kitchen is good. If its pre-slice, chances are its bad. I seldom do ham for breakfast, I prefer it on a sandwich at lunch. Chicken Fried steak is a real treat, but I only do it a few times a year.

Pancakes/Waffles - I really like pancakes and I prefer them with Apple Butter or strawberry jam as opposed to syrup. Sometimes honey is good. If they are served with eggs, I'll still need a slice of toast, since pancakes cannot replace toast in that regard. But a stack of pancakes do not need eggs, They can be served alone or with a side meat. I think patty sausage goes best.

Waffles cannot be Belgian. They are too crusty and get cold too quickly, otherwise all the pancake rules apply.

Perfect breakfast- Overeasy eggs with toast, hashbrowns, cfs & pancakes.

Its a 3 course meal for breakfast: 1) Appretizer - toast & eggs, 2) Entree - cfs & hash browns 3) Dessert - pancakes and jam

 
I would rather have a vagina and eat delicious blueberry pancakes than have a penis and not eat delicious blueberry pancakes.

Zooks - Old Melly Scupper and I had a mutual friend named Don Constable, who was a hedge fund manager out of the Twin Cities. One of the nicest guys I've ever known in my life and I considered myself very fortunate to be his friend. I went ice fishing with him twice; the first time Don essentially saved my hide after I wrecked a snowmobile in the dead of night on a frozen lake after too many pops in temperatures that froze my soul. He was like Han Solo coming to my rescue on planet Hoth...only in pitch darkness and no cool monsters.Anyhow, Don was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer in the spring of 2005. It was a complete shock. He had never smoked and drank in moderation (unless he was with me). I didn't know what that meant, but was terrified when I looked up the stats. People with Stage IV lung cancer have a 2-3% chance of making it 5 years (or some grim statistic that made me cringe). Don had access to the best doctors at The Mayo Clinic. He had plenty of money and access to top facilities. But he only made it a full year. He fought hard, but in the end, he died in his late 40s, leaving behind a wife and 4 kids. So, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he does beat it. I don't know enough about steroids to comment on their association with cancer, but I would think it probably worked against him. Just be there for him as best you can. Make him laugh and don't be afraid to write him and let him know how you feel about him and what he's meant to you. I did that with Don...emailed him what I felt, talked to him as often as I could and still booked sports bets between us as we always had. Sorry, GB.
Well said. Thanks.

agree with most of this except for pancake toppings. butter and syrup or powdered sugar only. once at Bob Evans I accidentally put honey on my pancakes instead of syrup. Couldn't eat them - just awful. don't care for apple butter. jam on toast only.

well days ago you wondered if any adults ate pancakes and today you compared french toast to eating a children's cereal.
You are IMPLYING that Cookie Crisp is a children's cereal. I never said it was. IMO, French Toast has no nutritional value and am comparing it to Cookie Crisp because, without looking at a box (Shuke, please confirm), I am making an assumption that a cereal based off of cookies is nothing but pure sugar and empty calories - a la French Toast.
you also pointed out that the group of manly men you hang out with to watch football never order pancakes.
Again, putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. I don't eat breakfast very often with other men, but when I do, I don't see them ordering the Rooty Tooty Fresh 'n' Fruity. I wouldn't call these guys 'manly' at all. I was giving the only evidence I have of eating breakfast with other dudes. Maybe you do more of that? :shrug:

I eat low or non-fat yogurt with blueberries/strawberries and almonds/granola almost every day. I don't think that's very 'manly' at all. I enjoy the sweetness of the berries because they aren't sickening sweet like syrup or powder sugar. I don't know that I ever classified eggs as 'manly' but would choose them over pancakes every day of the week. My wife eats a lot of eggs. I don't think she's manly. I don't use ketchup on anything. I bought some the other day for a recipe and was shocked to learn that a bottle of ketchup was only .84 Cents! I had no idea how cheap it was. I ended up not using the ketchup in the recipe and gave it to the Oregon Food Bank as a donation for Blues Fest. Nobody in my house uses ketchup either. I'm a mustard man. Now that's a manly condiment.

 
Screw it, you guys win. I'm leaving work early today and am ordering a large stack of hot pancakes with gobs of butter and will smother it all in syrup.

??? French toast is eggs, milk, bread, and butter (and maybe cinnamon). Basically no different then scrambled eggs with a side of buttered toast. Now adding syrup may not be healthy, but it doesn't diminish the nutrition of the other comoponents.
 
:lmao:

wtf orders a three course breakfast??

and I love me some cosjobs, but toast is certainly not mandatory with any egg dish. Tortillas >>> toast. A fresh bagel is about the only thing preferable to a tortilla.

I have a pretty simple rule. If you need to add a condiment to it to eat it, it's probably because it taste like ####. waffles and pancakes suck, plain and simple. You don't need to add anything to an egg to eat it.

I haven't had syrup in probably 15+ years, maybe more.

I've never had ketchup in my life.

Mustard and a light mayo are about the only condiments I'd consider on a sandwich.

This is strange.BTW, I'd rather drink what's in YSR's pool ( :unsure: ) than ever eat Mayo again. It's literally the worst condiment ever.

 
,s

french toast is basically eggs and milk on bread with some sweetener added in. it's like 3 of the 4 food groups.
