but this reminded me of the time we were having lunch at cafe in London, next to the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory. The lady sitting alone next to us, with an obvious French accent, ordered a hamburger.

When her order arrived, she proceeded to eat it Continental style, i.e., the burger sitting flat on her plate as she dined on it with a fork in her left hand, tines pointing down, and a knife in her right. Still cracks me up to this day!

We were having lunch at a Tucson Zenburger, and she did the same. Since that establishment's sandwiches tend to be bulky and treacherously sloppy, I smoothly followed suit. (Being of an immigrant family my self, I normally hold my cutlery in the European style, anyway! So that part was easy.) Marie seemed somewhat startled, being accustomed to uncouth barbarians....

There's something to be said for good table manners. On the one hand it sounds rather pretentious, yet it can be rather annoying to be dining with someone who hasn't a clue. We have a distant family member who fits this category. I tend to switch back and forth between American and Continental, depending on the venue and the meal.

on his eggs. The rest of us in the neighborhood all got together and ran the family out of town. You don't want that kind of thing to get started. We burned down the house too and nothing has ever grown on that empty lot ever since.

heat the hot dog in the microwave, then put a little BBQ sauce on a tortilla, wrap the dog up in it and bake in the oven for a few minutes until the tortilla starts to crisp up. The only way to go!

Connie Morella was my Rep until she voted to impeach Clinton. That vote ended her political career. Chris Van Hollen took over the seat at that point. Montgomery County Maryland is a very Democratic district, but Connie used to win re-election consistently until that vote. Haven't voted for a republican since.

I do put ketchup on a hot dog. Never wore socks with sandals.

bar. The Republicans all have a wretched taste from the meanness coming out of them. They are also very cold to the touch like a snake or a lizard and a heartbeat will be faint if at all present. Another telltale sign is when you move in for a kiss you feel them reaching for your wallet or your money on the bar.

In the 70's I did vote for Bill Cohen. No regrets. Over my life, I've choked down a couple of ketchup only dogs when the mustard and onions were gone. But would never wear socks with sandals, there are lines I will not cross. This is one of them.

Ketchup is an excellent condiment for hotdogs; the sweetness compliments the saltiness of the dog perfectly.

Dare I say it’s better than mustard, which is salty on top of more salty.

Now, on the other hand I will say that ketchup on steaks is a big no-no. But that’s just common sense.

I don’t wear socks with sandals out in public. But I will confess if I’m at home and I’ve taken off my regular shoes, and I need to take the dog or the garbage out I slip on my slides as opposed to putting back on my regular shoes.

As for voting Republican, I did it once in my life. Local election. Democratic county commissioner incumbent was a corrupt asshole, so I voted Republican as a protest vote (they didn’t allow write ins.) I knew the Dem incumbent would win easily anyways so it was a low risk move.
