Filet Mignon with mashed potatos, a salad and cheesecake.

It was a work thing and I always eat too much at these things because it is so good.

From:

You'll just have to skip the salad next time.

From:

No! The salad is so good. They have this great dressing on it and it is perfectly balanced.

Um... food...

From:

Damnit, you stole my joke!

From:

It would have been funnier from you. :P

From:

LOL! I saw vegetarian on

sterlingphoenix's profile. That would have been funnier!

From:

Funnier still is that I really don't like mashed potatoes.

From:

That statement can you killed in our house.

While

rangerslady and I were dating, I quickly learned that the mashed potato was a family favorite of this group I would marry into. The mashed potato can do no wrong in this house. But woe to he who under cooks the potato.

From:

I don't normally like mashed potatoes but these ones were very good.

From:

Were they garlic mashed? I love garlic mashed!

From:

yes. that is what made them good.

From:

I loooove potatoes in almost any form, except mashed! I don't really know why. While we're at it, I don't like apple pie, either (;

From:

Maybe it's a texture thing.

You don't like apple pie? You commie! :p

From:

I keep having to remind people I was not born in the US (:

From:

I don't like apple pie either and I have always lived here. :P

From:

You know that's one of the questions on the citizenship test, right?

From:

I guess I wouldn't pass that one!

From:

It's ok, I got like 6 questions wrong. Stupid Francis Scott Key...

From:

what was the question?

From:

The ones I remember missing were who wrote the star spangled banner (which I /knew/ they'd ask and I /knew/ I'd forget and now is etched into my memory!) and what is the term limit for, uh. Either a senator or a congressman, I forget, and I know one's 6 terms and one's unlimited, and I don't know which is which!

Oh and "Do you like apple pie".

From:

Neither of them have term limits.

From:

one of them has SOMEthing that has the number 6 in it. (;

From:

senators term is 6 years. congress has a term of 2 years. :P

From:

Ok, that was it then. I said "Aaaaah one is 2 years and one is 6 and I don't remember which is which!"

From:

LOL

From:

I didn't see that in your bio and I really don't know you except for this LJ exchange. So I call shenanigans on your use of the word "remind." :p

So...Where are you from?

From:

Well I meant remind in general, not specifically you (:

I'm from Israel. where you from? (:

From:

St. Paul, MN. Just head down Rice Street from Shoreview there and when you hit Maryland, you have my home stomping grounds.

From:

Wow, we're practically neighbours (I'm practically on Rice. Well, Hodgeson, but that's kinda Rice).

From:

We used to be...I live "way down" in Inver Grove Heights now. But I'll always be a Northender at heart.

My sister-in-law grew up just off of Hodgeson and Bridge. So I know that are pretty well.

From:

Great minds think alike. I was just quicker this time. You have beaten me to the punch on several occasions.

From:

Hah! Now we must kung-fu fight! *dragon-stance*

From:

*places hands together with one hand covering closed fist* I accept your challenge *Crane Beak spreads It's Wings-stance*

From:

You're trying a crane-beak after seeing my usericon?

From:

I'm bold. What else can I say?

From:

Ah, air-split stance. (;

From:

OK, you win. But only because I have homework to do.

From:

Ah, homework. I haven't done homework in like 20 years.

And I haven't gone to school in like 15 years.

From:

Even with 13 years of OTJ computer experience in hardware and network administration, I found that I can not get the good jobs without a degree. So back to college I go. YEAH!

From:

You know, that's funny. I've pretty much got the same kind of experience... and nobody's ever asked me for a degree.

From:

Well, when I pressed HR people, that's what I got as an answer.

From:

I'm not saying I'm not exceedingly lucky (; But when I've asked why I was turned down for positions, nobody ever said anything about a degree.

I hate that feeling.

From:

I am still full today!

I hope you didn't get sick. I hate that feeling of exploding stomach.
