Veggie Trays from grocery stores are the biggest rip-off. What the mark up on those? 5 million percent?

But retirement will suck if you have no money!
I'm going to be one of those old people working at McD's when I'm 80

Not quite that high but they are pretty damn easy to make.

Not only that, you are old when you retire!

I randomly just thought "you know what would be hilarious? A link to a bunch of ridiculous George W. Bush quotes!" and then as if by magic I found exactly what I wanted. These are great!

Well if you happen to be working at McDonalds when you're 80, and I happen to still be patronizing McDonalds at that same time, I'll come to your restaurant, because old people make the best employees at fast food restaurants. At the very least, I will know that my food will not likely contain human saliva from some punk kid.

What exactly does one do with basil pesto?

Put it in anything you want to be tasty. Great as an addition to a homemade pasta sauce, or mixed in with good Olive oil as a simple sauce, salad dressing, garlic bread spread. Soften a bit of butter and mix in some Basil pesto and you have a lovely compound butter to spread on good Italian bread or steamed veggies.

mmmmmm......

Basil Pesto. Chunky vermillion goodness.

If by "sloth" you mean "worshipful in its uncompromising slackitude", I agree.

Thanks guys. It sounds so good but I don't recall ever having it before. Maybe in a sandwich at a restaurant or something, but definitely never cooked with it.

I just found a stash of beef jerky and buffalo pepperoni buried in the freezer. Good quality stuff too ... made by a local independent meat packer, not a big chain. I take this discovery as a sign that God loves me. I think I'll have some right now along with a couple beer, which is another sign God loves me.

Reminds me of a guy I went to school with in Golden BC. His dad made smoked salmon and I used to bribe him constantly to get some. Man that stuff was good.

Put it in the garbage then go make something that tastes good.

No problem, however, I was tired when I was typing. The third point should read:

"- Something to give Tomato bruschetta a bit of Zing"

I think lust is overrated without adultery to go along with it.
