I'm sitting at home, trying not to eat the entire box of cut-up pineapple in the fridge, lol. I'm listening to music right now (Ohnoetrix Point Never - Americans) and um, I dunno. I don't have any plans today. It's just a chilled-out summer day for me!

Why resist?

As an aside, fresh pineapple is great grilled. That plus beetroot are what makes an Australian style burger work for me.

I also like pineapple fried in butter . . . because so many things are good or better when fried in butter.

I had to resist because I knew I'd eat it all and it'd be gone. Update, btw: I DID END UP DEVOURING THE WHOLE BOX

I love beetroot and a fried egg and bacon on my burger, but could never dig pineapple on there.

I am Aussie, I swear!

. . . you got Father's Favourite on there though, right?

I'm American, but I lived with an Aussie dude for years. He couldn't understand why Americans like pickles so much. Getting used to beetroot on burgers was a trip, but now I like it. He was big on Father's Favorite, though when he explained it to me, I could not imagine why anyone would want to eat it, but after visiting an Aussie owned pie shop near our house, I feel like I understand Aussie food ways a little better.

I wish I'd never discovered Tim Tams though . . . so, so good.

Not familiar with Father's Favourite; but I'll generally throw a smoky BBQ sauce on for sure! Must admit I love pickles served on and as a side with burgers, can't get enough of them.

Pies are amazing, and there's a multitude of flavoured Tim-Tams as well; Honeycomb, dark chocolate, double coated, caramel, mint.. And they'll do limited run flavours as well every now and then.

Hope I haven't sparked any cravings now :)

I wonder if you've heard this Duke Ellington tune. My favorite is Ella Fitzgerald's version. It uses a great colloquialism in the lyrics: "lower than a snake in a wagon track."

That's the way I feel about people that mention Tim Tams when they aren't available in country! :)
