Maybe that's what's wrong with 'em?
 
 
Matthew Fluxington

They are American citizens, but they were born in Holland.

Do you have a problem with the Dutch now, Todd?
 
 
Ethan Hawke
12:22 / 11.09.03
Dutch? That's even worse than I thought. I thought they were Chinese, and you had gotten them through some Communist baby mill, but Dutch. Christ! Do they have a spray for that?
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
12:31 / 11.09.03
Wait, wasn't your last girlfriend Dutch? "Ina van der Laan" sure does sound Dutch to me.
 
 
Ethan Hawke
12:32 / 11.09.03
She always told me she was Flemish. That's not the same thing, right?
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
12:38 / 11.09.03
Maybe it is. I'm not sure. That's a weird part of Europe.

Ina was the really wealthy one with all the wigs, right? She told me she was Hungaro-Argentinian. Is the bbq still on, dudes?

Yeah, it's a weird part of Europe. They serve their burgers in waffles, you know.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington

I'm very glad that I'm raising Eddie and Theo in a place where they will never have to endure such cullinary horrors.

A hot dog might not be so bad in a waffle. Y'know, if you wrapped the waffle around it instead of putting in on a bun? Do you understand what I mean, Flux? Because I'm saying... look, a hot dog is like a sausage, right? And you have sausages with waffles sometimes, like if you get waffles and eggs. But now it's a regular hot dog, like nice and crispy and you'd put maybe mayonnaise or cream cheese on it instead of syrup or whipped cream or whatnot. Am I making sense, you guys? You know what I'm saying, don't you?

Oh fuck it. NEVER MIND!!!!
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
13:38 / 11.09.03
I think I get you, Qalyn. I don't really like hot dogs without mustard, and I can't imagine mustard going well with waffles, you know? I try not to eat too much mayo, and mayonaise with hot dogs and waffles just sounds like a bad meal to me, y'know?

Do Dutch people even know about mustard? It seems like the only kind of condiment that they understand is mayonaise-y creamy gunk.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
13:51 / 11.09.03
You shouldn't be so rigid all the time, Flux, it's unhealthy. You should be willing to try new things, like mayonnaise on a hot dog. It's good with Freedom Fries, right? Theo likes it, anyway, me and Theo ate Freedom Fries and mayo all day last time.

Or maybe some kind of tartar sauce, or a horseradishy kind of thing. But should it be, like, a regular skinny hot dog, or one of those big fat Hebrew National Park ones? Or even an actual sausage, like an Italian sausage, with peppers and onions. Am I getting ahead of myself?



BTW, You never answered me about teaching Theo to drive the van. It's no problem, really, I'm going to go by the VA hospital and see if they have any extra mattresses, and then I'm free.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
13:56 / 11.09.03
No, of course you can't teach Theo to drive your van! He's only 8 years old! Jesus!

Maybe I'm just an ugly American, but I hate mayonaise on fries. It's just kinda gross.

Horseradish sauce on a hot dog - I could do that. Maybe we can try that at the bbq tomorrow night. I'll pick up a pack of Nathan's and some buns on the way over.

I wouldn't put horseradish on Italian sausage with onions though. I think that's too many strong flavors competing, you know?

Hey Qalyn, do you like cheesesteaks? Maybe we can make some cheesesteaks.
 
 
Ethan Hawke
13:59 / 11.09.03


Tell me the Dutch didn't invent this.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
14:02 / 11.09.03
Oh God.

What is that?

And what is that yellow stuff - eggs?

I'd just grab the strawberries and run, thank you.

Ooh, lovely...looks like hentai for breakie
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
14:18 / 11.09.03
Hah hah hah hah hah! For a second I thought you said "cheesecake" and I was like, what is he talking about, he knows I hate cheesecake!

I don't know. I've never had a homemade cheesesteak, only the kind you get at Denny's or whatever, and those are kind of gross. But maybe if it was actual slices of beef with nice, sharp cheddar... on a ciabatta! That might be really good! But don't forget the waffles!

And, duh, I know Theo's only 8, but he's really well-coordinated and I think he'd be a really good driver. It would give him confidence to know he could do something that very few other kids can do, like drive a van, and I'd show him some of the tricks I learned in the Army, like how to roll it and land on the wheels again.

Are those ...sausages??

This Starbucks is getting really crowded. I'm going to try going downtown, but I really like where this discussion of bbq options is going--keep up the good work, Flux!
 
 
Persephone
14:27 / 11.09.03
Oh, they're octodogs. With scrambled eggs.

Well then, that's okay...
 
 
Ethan Hawke
14:35 / 11.09.03
Newsflash, fuckers. There will be no barbecue, unless (a) Flux finds a freaking babysitter for once and (B) Qalyn gets his head into the game. Jesus, man, does anyone believe your shit? You were never in the army. You don't have a van. And I've seen you eat cheesecake.

However, burgers on waffles - this intrigues me. If anything, waffles are even MORE crenelated that English Muffins, meaning extra space to catch the juices. They'd have to be extra crispy, though. Maybe I could do them on the pizza stone. And....I know it's not good to fuck with perfection, but....what if I substitute strawberries for cranberries in my relish recipe? Strawberries + waffles is delicious.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
14:36 / 11.09.03
Do you want to try this cheesesteak recipe, Q?

It's the same as that yuppie cheesesteak place in the village. It's more along the lines of what you want - something high quality. Most cheesesteak joints just put Steak-ums on a roll with Cheez Whiz, which is just not right.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
14:39 / 11.09.03
Todd, Qalyn really does have a van. I'm not so sure about the army thing, though.

I do support your interest in creating a sweet waffle burger. Let's try that.

I'd really like to bring Eddie and Theo. Even though you treat Eddie badly, he still likes you and talks about you all the time. He's always going on and on about how much he loves his "Uncle Todd."

And I've seen you eat cheesecake.

Yeah, but he still hates it. He just eats it to STAY TOUGH!
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
14:54 / 11.09.03
Listen, Todd, I don't know if you're trying to impress Persephone by "standing up" to me or making me look foolish or something, but I advise you to stand down immediately. Otherwise I will make sure you have no doubts about my van or my Army training. Capeesh?

This Starbucks sucks, too. I'll be back later.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
14:55 / 11.09.03
Oh, and PS, that waffle-burger sounds fucking disgusting!!!!!
 
 
Ethan Hawke
15:29 / 11.09.03
It's "Capice", dummy, and remember what you said when I suggested you try to eat bleu cheese and chocolate at the same time? You said, and I quote "that sounds fucking disgusting!!!!!" With five exclamation points. Just like that. And how did that turn out? Which of us is trying to market candy bars now, hmmm?
So fuck you and your indiscriminate palate. I don't need you around anyway, to have a good bbq. You'd probably be rushing home every 15 minutes to keep up surveillance on your own fucking apartment. I've seen you out in that tree, with the binoculars. Everyone's seen you. You'd better watch yourself.

This thread is only serving to make me hungry and crave unnatural (and possibly unhealthy) food combinations.

Screw it..this is just like pregnancy...so now I can see how this all relates back to the kids, anyway.


*reaches for jar of mayo and some hot peppers to put on waffle-burger*
 
 
Papess
15:42 / 11.09.03
...and I am not kidding...I am gonna try it!
 
 
Papess
15:53 / 11.09.03
Dammit...now the title of this thread keeps reading like:

Why I ate kids
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
15:56 / 11.09.03
Todd, I'm sorry. You're absolutely right, you have a much better imagination when it comes to food than I do and I should know to trust your instincts better--those bleu cheese/chocolate parfaits were delicious!

The truth is, I was responding to you from a place of anger, which I know I should never do. And, not to play the "blame game" or anything, but just to explain my behavior, at the time that I wrote that there was this large family of tourists, possibly Swedes, who were very sweaty and red-faced and poorly dressed, arguing loudly with the poor barista because they didn't get what they thought they ordered--I mean, come on, it's almost impossible to understand you, she's doing her best! Anyway, it was very aggravating. But the Starbucks I'm in now is very peaceful and I have gone to my serene place, which is a moonlit meadow in 1987, looking for constellations with my cousin Amanda; I suggest you try something similar, because you sound kind of aggravated, too.

You'd probably be rushing home every 15 minutes to keep up surveillance on your own fucking apartment.

No, it's cool, I thought of a really intelligent solution to that problem. It occured to me that if I just booby-trapped the doors and windows of my apartment, I could come and go as I please! So anyway, if you let me come to your bbq, I will be on excellent behavior, I promise.

You go, May Tricks!

Actually, it's capisci, Todd. If you're being a tough guy, you drop that last syllable.

But I have to agree about Flux's kids. I only talked to one of them on the phone and it felt like he was gnawing my brains out going on and on about his collection of Tonka trucks.
 
 
Ethan Hawke
20:52 / 11.09.03
q, flux, you got PMs.

I had PMs once. You guys need to go see a doctor asap.
