    THANK you! Someone who gets it! Don't forget piling a heap o' raw onions on it.

    The PTA at our school provides a catered bbq luncheon every year the day before school starts. The younger teachers, of which I'm sure I'm not even one anymore, don't want it, but the coaches and the older teachers pile up their plates, complete with all those freakin onions.

    The only year the dinner was appealing to me was in '04. I was in my first trimester of pregnancy with my second child, was nauseous, but could NOT get enough pickles, of which there was also a large container. I didn't eat the burned meat, but piled a heap o' pickles on my plate with a roll.

    Since no one knew I was pregnant yet, I received several strange looks. I didn't care; I had pickles, the typical pregnant woman craving (minus the ice cream.)

    What do you expect from a state whose only original food claim to fame is the chicken fried steak? And I find that claim questionable. Texas seems pretty good at taking other folks ideas and claiming them as their own.

    Since we're talking overrated: Texas

    After living here 11 years, I have to say that I'm beginning to...love...Texas. But it's overrated over what natives think it is.

    Another overrated state is California.

    are you really this delusional?

    they rays could be 80-1 and the yanks 1-80 at this point in time and the yankees expectations would still be higher. you probably couldnt name 2 rays players nor could half their fanbase. no one cares.

    Sinners HAVE to adjust their halo's. The rest of us have one that stays put.

    I think you are getting it.

    What seriously would you expect as an offering from the PTA, a three course at the Hyatt? You assess the standard of Que over a PTA gathering so therefore generations of what there is to brag upon gets dismissed? You have cut yourself off from what could be and failed to challenge yourself to create a better product. Could it be fish sticks are simply more acceptable? Here is a hint:
    Pick

    The

    onions

    off. :eek: Or simply request that they are omitted altogether.

    Data please.

    I will have you return the information I provided to you for a priceless example for what you are missing and yet, have dismissed as "overrated". Simply put, I want my link back. :shock:
