    If you go on a cracker diet you have no need for paper OR a bidet. You can
    just use a whisk broom!

    how much I love you, and how badly I'd miss you if you weren't here.' "

    "She (turning from the kitchen sink to look at him); `Thats the nicest thing you've said to me in a long time. I just wish you'd say it when you were sober.' "

    "He (looking up at her); "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the whiskey!"

    Hello Tim,

    .. toilet paper and what else? ;-)

    Sigh!

    What's with this weird US toilet paper obsession? Whenever there is a
    cricies of any kind, they all storm to the nearby supermarket and fights
    like their lives depended on it, emptying the shelves as fast as
    possible.

    It simply makes no sense to me. But then again, I have a bidThet at home
    and
    uses about one roll of toilet paper per year -- usually used up by
    foreign
    visitors who prefer spreading their shit around between their buttocks
    with a handful of paper rather than washing it away with the bidThet.

    If you go on a cracker diet you have no need for paper OR a bidet. You
    can
    just use a whisk broom!

    Tim. You are talking about a guy who loves eating fermented rotten
    fish. Herring, in particular. Especially on Tunnbrod (rye crackers).
    Swedes call it surstr”mming.

    Here's a recipe -

    1 can of surstr”mming
    1 packet of Tunbr”d
    potatoes
    1-2 red onions
    1 bunch of cloves
    1 bunch of dill
    sour cream
    aquavit (to wash it down)

    Instructions:

    1. open can (be careful, the rotten fish are still fermenting
    and may explode when exposed to air.

    2. gut and fillet the surstr”mming. yes, you get the whole thing
    in the can. guts and all.

    3. boil the potatoes and add the dill to water and salt.

    4. prep the toppings. dice red onions and chives. slice potatoes
    into slices.

    5. assemble the fish. butter up your toast/bread/Tunbr”d and
    top with sour cream.

    can wash it down with aquavit (optional), a favorite drink.

    Surstr”mming is so explosive, and smelly, that it has been banned
    on most commercial airline flights. Which makes it a bit difficult
    to find outside of Sweden. But it is available, and can be ordered
    online, and delivered to your doorstep anywhere in the USA.

    It is best to store this stuff in the refrigerator, as the can
    kind of bulges as the rotten herring continue to ferment in the
    can. At some point, the can will explode if left out on an open
    shelf, and it would be a real mess to clean up. I mean, you might
    not ever be able to get rid of the smell.

    Crawfish season is almost here in Louisiana. Best time of the year.
    If not for that pandemic, which has wiped out all the parades for
    this coming Mardi Gras. But it won't wipe out our crawfish season.
    No way. We love those orange critters. Pinch da tails and suck da
    heads. Yum-Yum.

    Actually that's only a few northerners here, that eat that disgusting crap. I've tried it once -- it took about a month to get rid of the awful smell in the house. Never again.

    The rest of Sweden prefer the herring either fried or pickled. Fried AND then pickled is also OK.

    BTW, surstr”mming is made exactly like the popular (in Asian cuisine) fish sauce. I've suggested to the people up there in Lappland that they should switch over to making fish sauce -- high quality, Swedish fish sauce could be as popular as Absolut Vodka -- but I'm still waiting for a reply...
