Australia is sounding pretty good. Voting on Saturday and sausages. The sausages look like an abomination, but I like how they’re thinking. Might need to move it higher up on my list of places potentially emigrate to when living here gets to be too much.
I know I’ve complained about this before, but my neighbor who insists on playing loud music while cleaning his big ass truck with three blue line stickers can eat a fucking dick.
Update: asked him nicely, he told me to fuck off. Tried explaining that I got a four month old and it’s keeping her from sleeping it’s so loud. Told me to call the cops. Choosing whether or not to escalate.
edit: his wife yelled at him and he turned it down lol. Pathetic fuckstick of a man compensating.
I get along great with his dad, who lives next door. His dad owns an HVAC company that isn’t big time but does well. He’s some failson as far as I can tell. I’m out of this place in 2 months or so. It’d be pretty easy to escalate, but fuck me dude I just want to be able to watch tv in my house without singing along to garth brooks.
Yeah “ketchup” is understood but “tomato sauce” is more usual. A plain tomato pasta sauce is frequently a “Napoli sauce” which we use where you guys would say “marinara” - which here means “with seafood”, what should be called alla pescatora.
None of this is what it should mean in Italian but I am unlikely to accept scolding about the abuse of foreign words from a country which calls its main courses “entrees” and pronounces “Notre Dame” like a child failing a reading test.
You won’t because “grilling” here typically means what you mean by “broiling”, a word that is unknown here. “Char-grilling” means what you mean by grilling on an open flame. But cooking on a bbq hotplate is not any kind of grilling. There’s no grill. The whole essence of grilling is exposing food to radiant heat.
