and whiskey later on.

But fresh baked bread, maybe a pot of chile, maybe creamy baked cheese and macoroni, maybe just pizza.

And dessert of any kind with ice cream.

and later on, whiskey or a big fat canagar.

but your last sentence is not factually correct. It should say "tRumpers ARE ignorant hateful fearful small-minded little loudmouth asshole pipsqueaks".

And for dinner, I'd suggest a cup of gumbo, creole Catfish Imperial, tres leches cake, a bottle of good Cabernet and some Messenger's coffee.

Move onto a bloody T-bone accompanied by roasted fingerling potatoes and smoked asparagus. Finish with Affogato, covering both dessert and coffee in one serving.
Thank you for working for all of us today!

soup would be potato leek. Move on to a salad, then rack of lamb. Wine would be a syrah. Dessert would be chocolate in some form, and espresso. Now I feel sleepy.

clam chowder. small green salad. a good steak or maybe prime rib, baked potato with butter no sour cream, veggies, chocolate cake or creme brulee.

this is a special occasion meal in a restaurant, which never happens in my life since covid. i try to limit red meat to once a week or less, and nowadays i prefer my steak with hash browns and eggs.

don't drink, so just water is good. no coffee for me. in a restaurant i might have a mixed drink.

what's yours?

btw trumpers are assholes by definition

I've been craving that big time. So much that if I could trade for it I'd ditch my planned Mexican chopped salad and max-comfort chicken in chili gravy over rice, and the rest of the rum cake we've been at already.

But not the Scotch waiting to get us through this evening.

Assholes? Don't we all know, but more stories are always welcome.
