My late Grandfather put grape jelly and/or mustard on fried eggs.

Oh My!

Wonder if that came about by trying to cover up the taste of the eggs 'cause he didn't like them. Could not possibly taste egg through that combo.

A lot of people have seemed to come back sick from WDW. Is it the airplane ride or something there?

In the seven trips we've taken, none of us have ever gone, or come back sick.
Knock on wood (my head ).

Sounds yummy. I make jambalaya like I make burgoo....whatever I have around to throw in the pot and sometimes even vegetarian. This week-end was some chicken thighs and shrimp.

That's just like my Mulligan stew. If it's gotta be used up, it goes in the pot. I've had many different combos.

I love mayo. My favorite brand is Hellmann's. I've even been known to put some on a hamburger bun, and then some ketchup on top of that, with the burger! Add lettuce, tomato, and sliced Bermuda onions -- makes for kind of a sloppy mess, but delicious!! There's nothing like a 5-napkin burger!!!

When my niece was little she would want mayonnaise sandwiches for lunch. Forget pb&j, just a thin layer of mayo on bread.

Okay, you make it.
I'll bring the coffee. Tim Horton's, of course.

Oh how I miss Tim Hortons! I could really go for an Iced Capp right now. I lived in Ottawa for six months and I loved it. Now I'm stuck back in Mississippi

Iced capps are a beautiful thing. Full cream please; forget this 1% chocolate milk nonsense.

My dad used to call it "slop".
(Of course he did! )

The closest thing I've been able to find to an iced capp down here is a plain coffee coollatta from Dunkin' Donuts. Still nowhere near as good as an iced capp though.

You forgot to mention the other big plus to living in Ottawa - Beaver tails in the Byward Market.

I also really love the projection show on the Peace Tower/Centre Block. All those people sittng on the grass, enjoying a beautiful summer evening ... kinda like the new Hub area.

Subway - ham and turkey on parm/oregano (?) with lettuce, onions, pickles, one thin squirt of diet mayo, two squirts of sub sauce.

No tomatoes. No ketchup.

I hate diet mayo.. it tastes sooo weird D:

 

[Cesar R M]

your husband can be saved at least.. no ketchup there!

Love Beaver tails. When my Grandparents visited me they wanted to load up on beaver tails to take home.

Yes, the Mosaika light show is awesome! I was living in a dorm at the University of Ottawa so Parliament was just a short bus ride away. I used to go down to Parliament Hill all the time to watch it. Always made my cry.

I don't care what anybody says, Ottawa is far more beautiful than Washington DC and a much better capital.

Knock on wood (my head ).

funny thing is, I always return with a cold at least lol.

I think from all my trips to the US. only 5 times I've came with nothing.
Its because I push my body beyond what I'm using to (like sleeping so little and doing a lot, or hardly eating)

Another reason why Target Canada fully deserved to go belly up. How stupid do they think we are?

I always come back with what I call "the Disney Cough"; lasting anywhere from 2-6 months.
I got away lightly last trip - only 2 months of hacking my guts up.

I honestly recover qwuickly, usually 2-6 days.. this time its the longest I've been sick.

Not an egg sandwich. Just egg and toasted bread for me. Growing up my dad would buy a pound of chipchop ham and fry it up in ketchup for sandwiches. Nothing fancy but we loved them.

What in heavens is chipchop ham? Never heard of that before!

 

[MinnieM123]

My daughter loves ketchup on her bologna sandwiches. I think that's because it's the only condiment our elementary school serves so she's used to it.

No mustard served at school? I'd think that ketchup, mustard, and mayo are basic condiments in any school cafeteria. I only eat bologna about once a year now, but I'll only put mustard on it--just like when I was a kid.
