I knew the others except I thought fixins were not condiments so much as the other bits - like salad and toppings. <br /><br />Guess what, USA might be back on the cards for us.

Apparently it's what everyone does around campfires. And it's short for 'some more'.<br /><br />Sliders - These are basically mini hamburgers. I was very puzzled by constantly driving past a burger joint that announced 'Sliders are here!' on a placard, but I never got around to looking up, till I was at a party and these were served. 'Mmm, sliders' someone exclaimed....<br /><br />Open faced meatball hero - A hero is another (New York?0 name for a french bread (or 'sub') sandwich. So, I'm presuming this is an open sandwich with meatballs - which seems rather bizarre...<br /><br />Fixin's - apparently this means condiments. So, you would go into Subway and have your salami sub with all the fixin's. <br /><br />Hope that cleared everything up! <br /><br />Susanna - Thanksgiving is still at the planning stage, but we are planning to spend it with some fellow expats and possibly order in some special American dishes...nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-32420218684544265642010-09-28T07:05:10.620-04:002010-09-28T07:05:10.620-04:00Wow, you really have 'gone native' ;o)Wow, you really have 'gone native' ;o)Paradise Lost In Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507703496080523959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-8255178097684517182010-09-28T01:57:02.621-04:002010-09-28T01:57:02.621-04:00So what ARE you doing at Thanksgiving (my favourit...So what ARE you doing at Thanksgiving (my favourite day of the year)A Modern Motherhttp://www.amodernmother.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-10430497100333563612010-09-27T10:43:21.381-04:002010-09-27T10:43:21.381-04:00Dunno any of those answers!Dunno any of those answers!Dumdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070838905120958459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-70519526914222735772010-09-27T08:17:58.223-04:002010-09-27T08:17:58.223-04:00I hope your answer to 2 is the obvious one!I hope your answer to 2 is the obvious one!Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-22976528820664874132010-09-27T05:15:51.722-04:002010-09-27T05:15:51.722-04:00Ummmmm...

Sorry. Failed. And I've been here 4 years.<br /><br />And yes, why IS a dime smaller than a nickel? That took me ages to get used to, and I had to give myself a little rhyme, which went 'a dime is small and it's ten, a nickel is big and it's five". That was the only way I could get the knowledge to stick. It's particularly annoying, because 'dime' and 'five' are so similar, the dime jolly well SHOULD be five cents.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-64374714530872830232010-09-26T18:10:13.395-04:002010-09-26T18:10:13.395-04:00I have no idea, so please tell me, doesnt sound an...I have no idea, so please tell me, doesnt sound anything like Sheppards Pie and roast potatoes, which is the boys menu for lunch tomorrowJen Walshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374363403295342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-28329406615266749362010-09-26T17:03:46.225-04:002010-09-26T17:03:46.225-04:00We have spent a lot of time this weekend pulling a...We have spent a lot of time this weekend pulling an old computer apart - for a robot Halloween costume.
