Roommate and I have two different bottles of ketchup. Mine stays in the fridge. Because scalding hot fries dipped in room-temperature ketchup just aren't the same.

Scalding hot fries need to sit in their box a little longer.  Pizza burns with salt rubbed in them are not rad.

Dude, I hope that warm potato salad you're eating is mustard based instead of mayo-based.

Most foods, I either want them refrigerator-cold or thoroughly heated. My palate is somehow related to the McDLT.

Ketchup, fridge. Mustard, fridge.

Peanut butter?

You know, I will put the extra effort into spreading cold peanut butter if it gives me cold creamy peanut butter instead of a lukewarm peanut-flavoured oilslick the consistency of jizm.

I am just that motivated and hardworking.

Dude, mustard, mayo or lemon based, they all get eaten warm. Here's the secret...make it then eat it.

No sir, I will not.  Immediately eating it does not allow time for the flavors to meld.  The preparation is not complete until it's sat for a few hours at a minimum.  The dressing has to have time to properly permeate the potatoes.

Also, all you people eating cold foods are evolutionary dead ends. As soon as the juice is turned off you'll all wither up.

Me & my warm foods and knowledge of compressor-free food lasting? Me & my GIT will be swinging.

I got that knowledge too, but I choose to use available technology while it's available.  I know how to dig a latrine, but I don't shit in the backyard.

This is why I hate the trend of guacamole made table-side. Yes, at a place like Chevy's it proves your guac wasn't made last week and heat-treated to avoid browning but I've been to nice restaurants that used to have really, really good guac that now just tastes like separate ingredients because of this trend. I'm looking at you, Oyamel.

Oh, I thought that was just a douche move that a lot of restaurants had adopted to justify charging an extra $5 for the guac.

[CortJstr]

I bet you guys can figure out that you could substitute 'avocado' for 'potato' up there and get my feelings on the guacamole topic.

I'm not sure I'd be cool with the $5 extra for the privilege, though.

I like me some straight up slices of avocado but I also like to get my guac on. Or make some avocado compound butter. Sometimes it's nice when your avocado plays with the other flavors at the playground.

[Choop]

you're for "separate but equal" but calling others "potato racists" ash? really? really.

[jay-ell]

Ash is a very complex man.

[Choop]

welp, i sure feel for you buddy.

Buttered the bread. Shredded (pre-) sharp cheddar. I wonder if I used too much? Bread isn't stale, but not really fresh.

It's Tuesday but it just felt right, so I made a grilled cheese sandwich. Used different bread (white grocery store bread this time, but really good white grocery store bread) and American cheese product. Success! Except that while I love American cheese on a burger, it doesn't have enough flavor for a grilled cheese sandwich, in my opinion. But this tasted exactly as it did when I was 5. I'll have to experiment with different cheeses and better bread now. Once I have the grilled cheese conquered, what next? Seriously, I'm spending way too much money eating out (was looking through my checking account today, FUCK) and need to starting eating most of my meals at home, or bring them from home. And I haven't cooked consistently for like 4 or 5 years. I'm not joking.

Oh yeah, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Christ I love this beer.
