Recipes? :-D I am a huge fan of seafood.

Let me work something out with her, the rice and fish is called "saiadie" translated into "the catch" , very famous middle eastern fish dish. The fish she used is "Greasy grouper" but can use all sorts of fish.

Just ruined a week of clean eating with this.

[trickyputt]

Yeah but you saved your man card.

[Dave2512]

Argh, the pressure, the decision fatigue, which one to choose?

Chocolate PB Whoopie pies!

All these delicious looking good is driving me nuts as I'm in a lean cut phase. Bread and pastries are my ultimate nemesis in diet.

1.) Secret bible passages

If you didn’t know it already, In-N-Out features inconspicuously placed bible passages on their wrappers, cups, and French fry containers. Consisting of the book, chapter, and number of the verse, In-N-Out started doing it in the 1980’s under the then present Rich Snyder. A reflection of the Christian beliefs held by him and his family, bible references include “Revelation 3:20,” “Proverbs 3:5,” “John 14:6,” and many more.

2.) You can order a burger to be cooked medium rare

While most just order their burger and enjoy, there are some that demand a more personalized experience. Luckily for them, you can order your burger at In-N-Out medium rare to get those extra juices.

3.) Crossed Trees

If you haven’t noticed, many of the In-N-Out Burger locations have crossed palm trees outside, as well as on the food’s packaging and decor. It’s no coincidence though. The founder, Harry Snyder loved the film “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” where crossed trees marked the location of the buried treasure. You can now find these crossed trees at almost every location.

4.) In-N-Out’s Current President Is One Of The Youngest Female Billionaires

As the granddaughter of the original founders, and daughter to the former president Guy Snyder, Lynsi Torres is one of the youngest female billionaires in the country. Inheriting the chain in 2006, she was just 24 at the time. She hasn’t had the easiest life though. In fact, she lived most of her life far from the spotlight thanks to many death threats and multiple kidnapping attempts since she was a child.

5.) Managers make a nice living of $100k a year!

While regular employees make $10.50 an hour to start, the managers are killing it with a yearly salary of $100,000 a year. That’s enough, after taxes of course, to buy almost 21,000 Double Double’s. In addition to the high salary, they can count on full medical benefits, as well as bonuses and paid vacations.

6.) The Original In-N-Out Location Is Gone

Opened in 1948, the original In-N-Out location in Baldwin Park was torn down and demolished in the 1950’s to make room for the Pomona Freeway.

7.) No food travels more than 500 miles to any store

If you’ve ever wondered how In-N-Out has managed to avoid freezers in their effort to offer the freshest ingredients and food, it’s because none of food that ends up on your plate travels more than 500 miles to get to your local In-N-Out location. Nothing is ever frozen and everything from the burgers to the lettuce is handmade at centers before being shipped out to restaurants.

8.) There is an ANOTHER secret menu

These days, many are aware of some of the secret menu items. But, there are some that remain even more secretive. How about the Flying Dutchman Style, which is just the meat of the burger along with cheese. In addition, you can order the buns toasted, a grilled cheese sandwich, a veggie burger, and get your burger cut in half. And that’s just the burgers. For fries, get animal style (topped with American cheese, grilled onions and their signature spread), cheese fries and other variations like their well-done fries. For drinks, order up their Neapolitan Shake, which mixes all three of their flavors in one.

9.) There are SEVEN different ways to order fries at In-N-Out

While many stick with regular fries or the ever popular Animal Style fries, there are actually 7 ways that you can order them. Including Animal Style of course, you can order the fries well-done, light fries (more well done, but not as greasy), fries lite (cooked less than normal), fries with no salt, cheese fries, and lemon fries which is technically done by you. Just grab a lemon slice from the drink bar and squeeze!

10.) In-N-Out has the lowest turnover rates in the fast food industry

Compared with other fast food establishments, the people at In-N-Out love their job. And, why wouldn’t they? With great salaries, benefits and a great working environment, it’s no wonder why managers stay an average of 14 years, and associates stay around 2 years.

11.) There’s an In-N-Out University

In order to train their new managers on the formula to success, an In-N-Out University was created in 1984. Created by Rich Synder, this training facility has the aim of filling the ranks with qualified managers and works to reinforce the company’s focus on quality, customer service, and cleanliness.

12.) Maxing out at a 4×4

It used to be that you could order as large of a burger as you want. While the double double (2 patties) is the norm, customers would often come in and order anything from a 4×4 to a 100×100 (100 patties). In fact, a Las Vegas customer once ordered a 100×100 and after that, a rule came into effect that customers could only purchase 4×4’s.

Closest IN & Out Burger place is 65 miles from us. So, with that,  Pizza, Beer, Chips, and Dips will have to suffice to day during this SB Sunday.

Short note on why some homeless folks like "In & Out Burger". When the counter guy calls the number, and walks a way, for a "to-go" order, the homeless person just walks up, picks up the bag and cruises out the door. Mean while the person the order originally belonged to get, a replacement order. Seen it done many times at the store at the corner of Nellis, and East Charleston.

Anyone have that "In & Out Urge" bumper sticker?

[Abu3baid]

Desert for those that like cheese as a desert. Crunchy on top cheesy in the bottom and covered in sugar nectar

I made a big pot o' chili today. Part dried chiles, part fresh roasted. A big chunk of chuck. Lots of simmering. I didn't get a picture of the end product, but here's one from right after I added some onions, garlic, and a little celery: Thats lunch for almost the whole week. Next weekend I plan on making either a green pork chili or a white chicken chili.

[drifterdon]

I got an awesome corned beef and pastrami sandwich at a place called Goldbergs Famous Deli in Factoria Washington.

Man it was good.
