(A closer look at the “uncooked” pizza reveals melted cheese; maybe the oven was hot-ish but not hot enough.)

Baking/pastry theme today.
Cigs and ashes are quite realistic.
Someone found this in his freezer from the mid 90’s. Said it tasted fine.
A little pain is nice.

Another vintage thing. New list have avocados and olive oil. Food used to be simple.
What’s in “fancy” ketchup?
Eww…

The list thing does have “fruit”, “oil”, and “vegetables”, so avocado and olive oil technically are covered.
I think the fortune-cookie author wanted to say that if you’re pursuing happiness itself you’re never going to find it; happiness shows up on its own when you do [what’s good/what’s right/whatever suits your philosophy].
I think your friend will need to leave them outside. And look for your gifts there too. Maybe you should put up a tent for him?

Eating in a tent in a parking lot is not outdoors. It isn’t dining either. It’s just uncomfortable.

Rather sour than sweet. Willing to try this.

Don’t think I want to make my order a difficult one.
Giant burrito. I ate a huge one in Mexico, the size of my dinner plate but it’s still only half the size of this for sure.

That’s a burrito baby.
Yeah. He looks at it adoringly. It does not cry all day, does not demand care and affection, does not make him drink.

@Saregama, I think this would be a good solution to your current cooking situation (having to cook for so many different fussy eaters)

Actually it appears you could order absolutely anything and it would not be a problem, as long as you do so politely.

Yes, I agree.

Probably in France somewhere, before the recent lockdown.
Taking face mask to a new level. Sucks to wear specs and mask.
It’s OK to say Fck Off now but I guess it gets tiring fast. Many egotistical f-kers don’t keep a distance at all.

In Germany you use this foot pedal operated washer to clean the shopping trolleys before using. Where I live we don’t have nifty things like this. We have an acute shortage of engineers (have to import them from Germany and other countries) and highly intelligent people to run the country and the economy so no we could never come up with this kind of things.

Not only do we not have the nifty cleaner, we don’t call the trolley/cart/thing a “shopping helper”. Does everyone in that area actually call them Einkaufshelfer, or is that just a name that the store uses to try to sound special?
I think this supermarket uses this term. I never noticed it.
The word everyone else uses is “Einkaufswagen”.
Have you seen these other nifty inventions, also in Germany?

Ah yes, the Supermarkteinkaufswagensvergrößerungsglas.
I don’t see a Supermarktrollstuhlseinkaufswagensvergrößerungsglas though. 
(Pardon my spelling, I don’t know when to add “s” in compounds, though I thinks it’s thes faults ofs thes genitives cases whichs Is hates anyways.)

I think that the ‘s’ after ‘einkaufswagen’ is superfluous. But I’m not absolutely sure.
