The Fifty50 mission
It is the mission of this weblog to offer you, at least half the time, an assortment of essays and pictures pertaining to current events, aesthetic studies, psychological inquiries, and everyday tomfoolery, presented in a jocular setting that is suitable for Mom, Pop, Junior, and Sis, as long as Mom and Sis do not object to literature that sometimes contains words such as "asshole" and "fuck."

You got me with the Melba Toast. My wife who loves to cook said, "it used to be like a (19)60's diet bread." Made sense you'd like something Sixties. She's half Italian and Hungarian and into all this gourmet stuff, but needless to say we eat well.
ReplyDeleteAt first glance I thought it a blood spot on the paper dish next the the Swiss Army Knife.
Try the Garlic Hummus on it.
at first glance I thought it was a surgeon's disposal plate following a prostate resection
ReplyDeleteOUCH!!!
ReplyDelete59er: I think melba toast may have been a '60s thing for the ladies in the bridge club. For me, '60s snacks consisted of things like Bugles, Whistles, and Screaming Yellow Zonkers. I was a foolish young consumer just like all my peers. However, today I've discovered that melba toast is really a nice low-calorie substrate for cheese. And BTW, if there's another half Italian/half Hungarian sister floating around, tell her to log in.
ReplyDeleteBig Hussein Otis: yes, that's pretty much what it looked like last time I did perform that operation with the Swiss Army knife. Walnut size my arse.
