fare la scarpetta

Means "make the little shoe"

Which further implies" Take your bread and make a little shoe to mop up your remaining spaghetti sauce.

But...I've never had cheesy bacon fries, but it sounds pretty good!

A double bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and onion topped with ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise and accompanied with fries and onion rings.

My cardiologist would fire me as a patient.

Lots of sausage and onions and pineapple, visiting with people who talk funny and, Of course ice cold beer. Boo-dro don’t play without beer. Always a pleasure when a Gator gets a little too close. Nostalgia was made for those moments back in the 80s and 90s.

(of sorts). I take a big-arsed russet potato and slice it sideways every 1/4” or so (DON’T cut all the way through the bottom!), drizzle some oil over it, maybe a dusting of onion powder and a little salt, then roast it in the air fryer (I have a special lid for my Instant Pot) for maybe 30 minutes or in the oven as long as it takes to bake through and get nicely browned and a little crispy at the edges.

Whilst that’s going, I make mushroom gravy (I have dried morels!) and when the tatties are done, I plunk them in a big soup bowl, cover with (vegan) cheese (you do you) and then douse in the gravy.

I can’t imagine plain ol’ cheesy fries could be as good… It’s ridiculously satisfying, and fills up the chinks, especially in cold weather.

What is the obsession Americans have with high fructose corn syrup in everything, and the habit of having big doses of animal fat from bacon and cheese in their diet clogging arteries?

You'd think with the cost of healthcare and funerals they'd be a bit more careful.
