Mmmmm. I had three in the end. Felt quite sick until about 10 minutes ago.
Aaaah, crisps sandwiches. There was a recent thread abouit food combinations and that's a great one (but there should be meat in it as well.
A friend worked at a University in New Orleans, and I visited him as often as I could. The food was great, and pretty varied (loved the music too).
The standard "snack" there was called a po'boy sandwich.
Seafood like oysters, scampi etc was everywhere especially battered, and the po'boy sandwich was adaptable in a pizza-ish way.
The bread was always a baguette with fillings like steak (in berbecue sauce) or fried battered oysters or other seafood covered in various sauces and the sandwich was so stuffed with these you could barely hold it closed.:beer:
Absolutely gorgeous! Never saw it anywhere else in the US. Yeah, I love subway sandwiches but they try to be healthy compared with this!;)

For me, passed before relatives are:
Parent1: 78
Grandparent1: 73
Grandparent2: 79
Grandparent3: Not known, not named on birth certificate
Grandparent4: 82
There are some step-aunts who both made it to 99 and a great aunt who went to 90+ ... but the direct line's unknown or didn't fare too well.
I'm guessing I'll pop off in about 25 years' tops.... maybe 15-20,0 -
My crisp sandwiches are: Two pieces of nice fresh bread, smother with salad cream, layer of crisps, loads of grated cheese. Simples.
Crisps usually have to be Walkers Cheese/Onion. Salad cream has to be Heinz.0 -

My experience is extremely limited. LNE was intact. So is DS. Likewise all but one of the infant sons of my "mummy friends" - and the one was a medical problem.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

i'm not a fan of seafood in a sandwich to be honest, and battered oysters in a baguette sounds terrible. BBQ steak, on the other hand. one of my friends fries up a pile of onion, steak, chicken and then throws a load of cheese into the frying pan, scoops the whole lot into a baguette and scoffs it. it tastes amazing, but it i imagine that if you ate more than one a year you would be in some trouble!0 -

has anyone ever seen A.I. artificial intelligence?
it really is the worst film i have ever seen.0 -
Surely it is just a little slow...
Last night I saw 'my step mom is an alien' as it was on tv - now that probably is the worth film I have ever seen, it does not even quite fall in to the bad enough to be great category
