Poor horsey...

For lunch today I stopped at Burger King for a fish sandwich.

I've had it before and it was good.

But not this time. It tasted off somehow. Not spoiled or anything but different and not in a good way.

It's not the first time either. I had a combo a few weeks ago and the burger was fine but the fries tasted bad as well.

So I'm thinking they did something with the oil. Whatever they did it affected the taste of anything fried in oil.

So I'm not getting fries or another fish sandwich from them again.

Sounds to me like they haven't changed the cooking oil in a while. It does get rancid. Yuck!

I have only one more day of school until spring break. I'm so excited! :- D

This the coolest, funiest thing I've seen in a ages, or the most dorky. I can't decide which...

You know, I love Jamie Oliver, but Petal Blossom Rainbow? Really?

The Burger King oil problem.

I had a coupon and went to another Burger King and had a combo meal. This time the fries tasted as usual.

So it must be that other BK's oil that is bad.

Once in a while, you just get a bad franchise location. Corporate stores adhere to very specific guidelines, but franchise stores often cut corners. We have a bad Popeyes location here. They're always out of something, usually whatever's on special. Like wings, or butterfly shrimp. You can't go there with anything specific in mind because that'll be the thing they're out of. Once, they were out of ketchup. Ketchup! How can you run a fast food restaurant that serves fries and let the place run out of ketchup? It's ridiculous. That was the last time we went there. We've completely sworn that location off. I go to two other Popeyes locations occasionally and they're perfect.

It's been a rough day in Pittsburgh. This morning, there was a domestic dispute and when police were called the gunmen shot and killed three officers and injured two others.

It was pretty scary morning in my family too, my brother-in-law and his father are both on the Pittsburgh PD. I spent about two hours on the phone with my dad, then my sister finally called him to tell him they were both fine, neither of them were involved in the standoff.

You think that's bad??

Years ago I went to a KFC to buy a bucket of chicken. Long line and when I got up there I placed an order to only find out that they were out of chicken.

Not that they were cooking it and I would have to wait, no they were completely out of chicken.

I would have thought that the least the manager could have done was give people a coupon for the trouble. But nope, nothing at all.

Not to pick on you, but I can't stand ketchup on fries.
The strange thing is that when I was a kid I would put ketchup on eggs in the morning.

My brother dips his fries in a chocolate shake sometimes.

Latest weather forecast.

1 to 2 inches of snow tomorrow.

While it's not unheard of, it is unusual to have it so late.
We used to get snow back in the 70's in April. But for the past 2 decades or so we haven't really got much snow in April at all. Perhaps flurries at night, but that's about it.

I actually prefer mustard on fries.

I do too and so does my dad. = )

Illinoisguy1 · 05 Apr 09 :: 01:21

That even sounds worse to me.

To each their own I guess.

When I was a kid I used to eat Head Cheese lunchmeat. That was until I read what was in it and that was that. I haven't touched it since.

There an online film beind made in London and you have to film yourself saying some lines and host it on their site to audition. A tiny bit of me is really considering it. hmmm

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 Apr 09 :: 02:07

Simon, why wouldn't you go for it? You never know. How do you think you're gonna break in if you don't try every opportunity that comes along?

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 05 Apr 09 :: 08:51

You should definitely try out for it, Simon.

Simon · 05 Apr 09 :: 15:23

The only thing stopping me at the moment is travel. Although it's unlikely, if i did get offered another chance to audition, i would have to travel down to London, which would be a bit hard for me at the moment.

Illinoisguy1 · 06 Apr 09 :: 12:04

Guess what came back?

Snow.
Yup got snow overnight, about an inch or so. Nothing major. Nothing we can't deal with up here.

At least it's not the blizzard they got out west.

Winter really doesn't want to let go this year.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Apr 09 :: 15:27

I figured you'd get snow, Illinois. Elaine said they were getting 6 inches in the Detroit area today, so that usually means you had what they're getting a day earlier. It has been very warm here, but it turned off cold and really windy overnight. So what we've got is swirling pollen being blown all over everywhere. You almost need a face mask and goggles to go outside.

Great dog story...

Well if you ever do make it big then don't forget about us. : )
