Americans of TFF

[OmniTense]

I cooked some not two weeks ago. It was moist tender and delicious, as always. Another artful and intuitive southern recipe. Almost makes up for all the hicks. lol

But the best recipes in my possession are, Spare ribs in sauce, Minestrone, Chicken Livers ala Nero, Blueberry Grunt, Salad with Devil's Rain dressing, French Onion soup, General Tso's Chicken, Orange Pork Tenderloin, Breaded Morels, Sweetbreads Amandine, Fiery Dill Pickles, Brandon's Brownies, and .........the greatest concoction of all...the Carrot Cake.

And people say Americans have no food of their own. Bah!

I have been into buffalo wings recently. I never liked sauce, but now I cannot get enough. And Meier, your concoction sounds interesting. I have never liked beer, though.

That gives me a topic idea: when it comes to alcohol, do you drink domestic or imported?

I have been on an American binge lately, between Southern Comfort and Everclear. Most of my favorite drinks are imported, though.

[Meier Link]

When it comes to beer I tend to lean twards either domestic or german, mainly domestic though. As for the harder stuff I perfer imported. Such as Jager, Vodka, sakee, cuvee, and other good stuff like that.

[OmniTense]

Now, understand that I don't purposefully choose domestic or imported but... I like

• Jagermeister,
• Goldschlager,
• Kirschwasser,
• Rumplemintz,
• Absinthe,
• Lambic(Ale made from natural Belgian yeasts),
• Bourbon,
• Dark sipping Rum,
• Whiskey,
• Brandy,
• Any type of Red desert wine such as Lambrusco,
• White Wine such as Pinot Blanc or Pinot Grigio
• Sparkling White Wine and some Champagne such as Dom Pérignon
• and the occasional Vodka Tonic.

I don't like beer, unless it's ale and I don't like ale unless it's Lambic. I HATE Gin(it makes me sick). I'm not good with Tequila(bad experiences). And Vodka is nothing more than a careless attempt at getting drunk.

So as you can see by my list, I actually import most of my drink.

"America! **** YEAH!" -quoted from "Team America: World Police"

I'm not really sure how I like my alcohol yet, since I've only tasted a large amount of types and haven't really been able to drink any real beer lately.

American food is the best food! We invented the hot dog, and we stole Mexican food, and created Taco Bell! Hellz yeah!

The states that I've been in are: Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. I've been in the Atlanta Airport in Georgia, as well.

Can I's be in the club?

[Changrules]

Americans are pretty out numbered in every forum i have ever been on i wonder why....

LEMME JOIN GUYS!

Lilium, despite having Elliot Smith in your avatar, you are in. As are you, Changrules. Stay active!

As we leave the summer and look to the fall and winter, what will it be like where everyone lives? Will you be pouring water over your windshield to get the ice off, or will you still be able to go to the beach and wear flip flops?

I am the latter. I went to the beach on New Years day this year, and I imagine I will be able to do so again. It gets in the 50's on some days, but overall it will stay in a nice 70ish range. After a July in Florida, this sounds very nice.

So I guess you're not really into the type of music Elliott does?

Well, I live in Virginia, where we have the mild, in-between weather. It's chilly during Fall, and Winter is cold, but the only snow we get is every now and then, during January through early March, and it's not even that much. I like the mild weather, but I wish that it would either be warmer like Texas, or have more snow, like in Pennsylvania. I guess I like the extremes better (more preferably Deep South weather, I think).

Do we have anybody here that hails from the Deep South (Alabama, Texas, etc.), or anyone that has spent time there or lived there for a while like I have?

[James K. Polk]

As for alcohol, we have some nice breweries around here, like Leinenkugel's and the ever popular Schlitz. Then again, I like my Rum from the Caribbean, and my tequila from Mexico, so I'll say a little of each.

By the end of October I'll say, Wisconsin will be covered in snow. Of course, that's just a guess, but hell, it can't be far from the truth.

I don't know about us having the BEST food. I believe Switzerland has the best food, from what I hear. But anyways, I really love Chicago food. I can't think of one food that sucks there. Some Chicago restaurants don't last in the west coast, for some reason, such as White Castle. They had pretty good burgers back when I lived in Illinois.

As for alcohol, Bailey's Irish cream is pretty good. I hate any form of beer, but things like dacuries or Smirnoff hits the right for me.

Hello everyone glad to hear im excepted into TFFA.

I have to be honest and say im only 14 so i dont really have much an opinion on alcohol except it smells funny and my state would never survive without it. I also think its true that the farther south you go the better foods start to taste,in fact there was a BBQ competition in a town not far from me. BBQ is more than food here its a way of life. I think that hammburgers are the most American food. I mean we have Burger King,Wendys,Mcdonalds and the list just gose on and on. Of course ive been to more places than NC ive also lived in Floriada(sry on spelling),Ohio,Born in Alaska,Winsconcin and Virginia so i guess i could say ive never been to places like Arizona,California and places in that general direction.

Well, I'm guessing by the end of Sept is when it will start chilling up, but its all good, just brings out the good times of going to the High School Football games on friday nights, so I don't mind too much to watch my little brother play wide receiver as I'm covered in my jacket under a blanket with my friends and family. As soon as thats all over, which is mid-late October, which will be like really cold and windy with no break in sight. Then we get to my favorite month, which is November, where I get to celebrate my birthday of two decades this year, which shortly after follows thanksgiving, which is a fun time. By then, I just have to endure until Winter Break, where (hopefully) my parents, bro and I will all be in Key West by then. Then we will get back right before new years and I will enjoy my hangover by getting my wisdom teeth pulled the day after! ... But yeah thats my RL schedule until '09 it seems, give or take a few events, idk.

[H.U.N.K]

I dont really plan anything. Im alittle more go with the flow.
My favorite month(naturally) is september. I just like september beacuse its my B-day September 24th. Im glad that it starts to cool around football time beacuse im in marching band and if its really hot then i almost melt in my uniform. Idk how football players can stand that heat.

As of now, the weather is still hot. And it seems like the weather has been like this for forever now. Unfortunately, it doesn't snow out here where I live in the winter. If I wanted to go see some snow, I would have to drive up to the mountains which is at least two hours, plus depending on traffic on the freeways if I wanted to see some. I've always wanted to stay in an environment that has snow. And it doesn't rain out here as much. It usually does during the spring it seems. But the weather does cool down during the fall and winter though.
