French fries goes with anything....it's a universal food.....

Like peanut butter.

My father, believe it or not...loved PB, grape jelly and sardines on toast.

please properly seal your airsickness bags before disposal.

We are lucky enough to have a Tim Horton’s here, but I usually prefer good old fresh ground at home… And we do it, “Old school”.

Designer coffee was around a long time before it became a cult. Our favorite in-store "coffee" is the chai tea served by an obscure little local store, not a chain.

For max return on investment, I get coffee at Books a Million or Borders to help compensate them for their generosity in letting me skim books and magazines in the store.

Very generous of them. Amazing really, when you think how much magazines cost now and how much info you can glean in these stores for free.

WTF is "chai tea"????

I agree fully on the book store situation. Literacy can be a curse and must be fed regularly. The wife and I just spent $250.00 over our trade in value between a couple used book stores yesterday.

Maverick, I think he's talking about the drinks where, in the safety of a factory, they brew masala chai, then presumably reduce it to a syrup and send it out.

Then, in the Photo Booth sized Espresso cabin sitting in the middle of a parking lot somewhere, a 24 year old high school dropout mixes it with hot Dairy Produkt(tm) and water, making a sweet, yummy, almost diabetes inducing drink. The caffeine/sugar combo gives quite a kick, and it tastes yummy.
