Plans for today (2025)

[rascal]

Fries just don't heat up well. Air fryer is better than oven though. I'd rather just eat as much as I can and then toss 'em. But DH and I split fries when we go out and there are always, always some left because I don't love them that much.

Don't mention an air fryer round these parts lol

I'm cold and feeling lazy so I took out a rack of babyback ribs for the oven. They are super easy to prepare, low and slow wrapped in foil until tender. Mashed potatoes and peas on the side.

I need to do ribs soon!!! When it warms up a bit?

I'm doing mine in the oven. It will help warm up the house.

There has never, in the entirety of my existence, ever been me and leftover fries. That’s like matter and antimatter - the two just don’t coexist.

I'm required to get a burger, fries, and a drink when I do 5 Guys evaluations. I'd rather eat the burger. I'm required to taste the fries. Their small fries size is just too much food with the burger. I can eat maybe 1/3rd of the fries or less.

Ha! I just asked DH if he would rather have fries with our ribs tonight and he said yes. See what y'all made me do?

Fries > burger in my world.

I prefer protein to carbs usually. It also might be that I don't really love how 5 Guys (and most restaurants) prepares their fries. I'm not allowed to request them extra crispy (which is how I like them) when I'm doing a shop because it affects the timings. If I'm out on my own dime, which is rare, I don't order fries unless it's part of the meal, and I'll always ask for them extra crisp...but usually they don't get it right and they're pale, limp, and soggy. If I can sub for onion rings I'll always do that!

Put the fries on the burger! Think steak and potatoes???

Hope this doesn't cloud your opinion, but I had a 5 guys burger (and fries) in London and did not enjoy it at all. Too messy to eat.

No. I never let other people's opinions cloud mine, and when I do my evaluations I have to remain completely objective and base my evaluation on the circumstances of the visit I am conducting. For example, I can't let the fact that I saw an employee engaging in inappropriate behavior on a previous visit affect my judgement of their behavior on the next visit. For example, one time I saw a manager yelling at an employee in front of customers and using harsh language. It went into my report. The next time I visited that location, the same manager was still there and was entirely pleasant to his staff. They got a good rating on performance on the 2nd visit, even though I hadn't forgotten he was a jerk at the 1st.
