What's your "hill to die on?"

mydixiewrecked

The chili made in Cincinnati (Gold Star Chili) is made with cinnamon, it's damn good. This doesn't sound that weird to me. Can I have bacon with it?

mydixiewrecked

@HilarityEnsued exactly! Wrap that hotdog in bacon first,top with chili,cheese,onion...droool.

Care to weigh in on cinnamon rolls and chili?

I can't say I have ever tried the combo.  It doesn't seem right, but I dunno.

I will never be a fruit in my jello fan either, which is also an Iowa thing.  We like food of all sorts, apparently.

CinemaGoddess

Jello should only be consumed in jiggler form.  

CinemaGoddess

I will have to try the cinnamon roll/chili thing when I go to DSM next year.

To be fair, they also put vegetables in it. Jello is universal.

What the actual shit?

And whipped cream ::vom::  I only take my jello in the form of shots, TYVM.

I like apples in waldorf salad.

Veggie jell-o sounds like the stuff of nightmares.

It's wrong, so wrong.  And reminds me of this:

This thread has gone to a weird place. Veggies in jello and cinnamon buns with chili. You people are weird!

MEAT JELLO. 

MEAT JELLO, GUISE. 

Aspic is just wrong on so many levels.  No meat should ever be combine with a gelatinous texture. EVER.  

CinemaGoddess

The snickers salad sounds like perfection but then someone decided it needs to be "healthy" and added apples. 

missyishere

The apples bring a nice texture @cinemagoddess.  And when the hell are you coming to DSM next year?  With @mackalien13?

Sookie and I still need to decide on a date.  It's looking like it will be spring-ish.  The entire plan is to get drizzunk on British beer, eat British food, then watch all 3 seasons of Sherlock.  

It will be epic.

I love how the thread "what is your hill to die on" has turned into a thread about food...

It was either going to go that direction or anal bleaching.

Don't you dare color all the Lutherans with veggie jello, @loislayn23. We do like some jello and a hotdish, but I've NEVER seen veggies in it. Oranges go in orange jello, and raspberries in red jello, pears sometimes in the green jello. That's it.

Apples can sometimes go in fruit jello.

littlestjerry

What is the point in eating jello? It's fine, but there are 1,000 tastier things to eat. Unless I'm preparing for surgery or just got teeth removed, I have no use for jello.

For more of the horrors of veggie jello, see here:

And for actual hills to die on, for me it would probably be equal rights for all, and abortion rights. I don't think I have any parenting hills to die on. I mean, I have my beliefs and all but as long as your kid isn't being abused/neglected do what works for you.

People who let their dogs pee on others lawns suck. This especially goes for those in my neighborhood. I blame the owners and not the dogs.

I never knew this was an issue.

Bad for the grass. Causes brown spots.

What am I supposed to do while I jog with my dog?  Make her not pee?  I can't pick it up like I do her poo.

This thread has made me so glad I'm not in Iowa.

Cinnamon buns with chili?! No.

Fruit/veggies/ANYTHING in jello? Vom.

I'll keep my Southern foods and peach cobbler, y'all can have y'all's nastiness.

MY DOG LOVES HER CLOTHES DAMMIT.

Mine are:

Vaccinations
Car seat safety
Ending the pain olympics (seriously, I hate when people one up people. Drives.me.nuts)
Equality for all!

This whole vegetable jello thing really means that people should stop going to church since it obviously perpetuates the idea that vegetable jello is acceptable.

Our dog has pissed all around our yard and we don't have brown spots. Is it a certain type of grass or something?

Yeah, I've never heard of animal piss doing anything to anyone's yard. Explain?

When we owned our condo, one set of neighbors would let their dogs (all 3 of them) pee on the little patch of green grass between us and other other neighbor.  Within 6 months, all of the grass was dead and brown because the dogs peed on it so much.  It had to be completely replaced.  

So yeah, animal pee can definitely destroy a yard.

Hmm, maybe it's a certain type, like mbenny said. We taught our dog to go to the same area to do his business, and the grass there hasn't turned brown. And we've been there 5 years. But we also don't have any kind of special grass or sod. It's just... plain ol' grass.

I love chocolate covered espresso beans.

To bring the coffee and chocolate discussion together, how do we feel about chocolate-covered espresso beans?

'Cuz I'd die out of sheer delight on a hill of chocolate-covered espresso beans.

I just fell in love with you @LexiLupin they have these in the bulk foods at my grocery store.

Exposing kids to over sexualized media (music, tv, print, etc) is my parenting one. Gay rights and women's health issues ie BC options, access to abortions, etc are my political ones.

Yea, dog pee makes burned spots in the grass.

If I walk my dogs, they can pee on the small areas of grass between the sidewalk and street...that's fair game to me.  But people's actual lawns? no.

Yeah, legally, that's where dogs are required to go in my city. It's called "curbing".
