The Elvis — Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich

The peanut butter & banana sandwich, or peanut butter-banana-bacon sandwich, sometimes referred to as the Elvis, is often cooked in a pan or on a griddle. Honey may be added. It was a favorite of Elvis Presley, who was renowned for his food cravings such as the Fool’s Gold Loaf, a loaf of bread filled with a pound each of bacon, peanut butter, and grape jelly.

I wish they had good cake here in the US, but they just don‘t.

90% of it is just gross.

Too sweet, too artificial-tasting, crazy unnatural colors... and what‘s with the „Cool Whip“?, ewwwwwww.

It‘s just bäh all around. Pastry also isn‘t the same.

Die Burg Sooneck in Niederheimbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Southwestern Germany, is a castle in the upper middle Rhein valley in the Mainz-Bingen district. Since 2002, it‘s been part of the Rhein Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The castle was first mentioned in 1271. Like neighboring Reichenstein Castle, it was managed by the Lords of Hohenfels as bailiffs for Kornelimünster Abbey in Aachen. It can be visited on guided tours. Its residential areas are furnished predominantly in neo-gothic and Biedermeier styles, enriched by paintings owned by the Hohenzollern family and the Köth-Wanscheid family, and drawings and sketches by Johann-Caspar Schneider among others.

Why do Americans practice circumcision?

Circumcision seems like genital mutilation, as it lacks any health benefits and denies the male of 40% of his sexual stimulation once the foreskin is removed. I was just wondering if people had some insight into why Americans practice this procedure?

Answer:

It all started when a man named John Harvey Kellogg (Co-founder of Kellogg’s cereal) advocated the idea that young boys should be circumcised so that they would not masturbate. In his time, masturbation was widely believed to cause all kinds of problems like insanity, blindness, epilepsy, bed-wetting, and even death. He also said acid should be applied to a young girl’s clitoris so that they would not feel pleasure. Kellogg was a well known advocate for promoting ideas that would result in a decrease of sexual feelings because of the “dangers” of masturbation.

When it became evident that circumcision did not stop masturbation and that masturbation was not dangerous, circumcision already became widely practiced. Today, there have been all kinds of studies done that allegedly “prove” (Never use that word in science.) that circumcision has health benefits like preventing/reducing the risks of UTIs, STIs, HIV, HPV, penile cancer, and other potential problems. Present day circumcision proponents make the correlation equals causation fallacy because the vast majority of these health benefit studies are based on anecdotes and statistics rather than any sort of clinical trial based on medical research. Nearly every medical organization in the world has labeled infant circumcision as unnecessary.

It’s really funny and ironic how circumcision advocates today deny that circumcision causes any sort of sexual damage to the penis when that’s exactly what they circumcised for just over a hundred years ago. Everyone has opinions about what they like in sex, but one thing that is not opinionated is how circumcision removes erogenous zones of the penis like the frenulum and how it causes the penis to dry up through keratinization as time passes.

Thanks to the Internet, we can do our own research and decide for ourselves whether this procedure is really worth doing. This wasn’t possible for most Americans until about 10 years ago so many American are still in the dark about circumcision and believe whatever circumcision doctors tell them. American medical textbooks and diagrams often don’t even mention or label the foreskin that’s how widely practiced it is, so the doctors here don’t have all of the facts either. I’m American and I circumcised as an infant; I cannot stress enough just how much I seriously despise it. I did years of my own independent research on this subject, and now what I want more than anything is to get my foreskin back. I wouldn’t care if every man in the world was circumcised, I would still think negatively of it.

Foreskin restoration is possible for unhappily circumcised men like myself, but what it does is stretch the remaining shaft skin through tissue expansion. It doesn’t really bring the foreskin back at all. Still, all of the men who “restored” their foreskins that I’ve talked to say that they physically and psychologically feel so much better once their restoration is complete. Very recently, an organization called Foregen started and is now raising awareness to the possibility of one day using regenerative medicine to regenerate the foreskin like it was never removed. Always remember that it’s best not to circumcise at all. I hope I helped answer your question.

Bananas Foster is a dessert made from bananas and vanilla ice cream, with a sauce of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, dark rum, and banana liqueur. The butter, sugar and bananas are cooked, then alcohol is added and ignited. The bananas and sauce are then served over the ice cream. Preparation of the dish is often made into a tableside performance as a flambé. The dish was created in 1951 by Paul Blangé at Brennan’s in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

This is so delicious, one of my favorite American desserts. Haagen Dazs sometimes has it as icecream, ahhhhh, I want some!

Favorite German Words

Der Schutzengel = „guardian angel“.

Technically a religious / Christian term at the core but so commonly used it has become a basically neutral term. An invisible entity that protects you and watches over you, particularly in crisis or dangerous situations. There are physical Schutzengel talismans like for key chains, cars and the like, or decorative ones for the house that can be bought — otherwise, it is just something one either believes in or not.

When something bad happens and a person escapes from the situation unharmed, we would say „Er/sie hatte einen Schutzengel.“ 👼

“Eine nicht ganz unübliche Entwicklung scheint zu sein, dass man als Heranwachsender links ist, später wird man liberal und kurz bevor man stirbt ist man superkonservativ. Wenn diese Theorie aufgeht, bin ich von meinem Tod noch sehr weit entfernt.”

Der gute alte Farin. Betrügt sich halt immer noch selbst, weil so image-contious. 😁 Da ging es ja von Anfang an eher darum, wie ein „Künstler“ zu sein hat. Wer aber genauer hinsieht, sieht das Gegenteil, auch schon in grauer Vorzeit, har har.
