the countdown to spring which stands today at 68 days.
You all see me mention baloney many times in my blog. I have to confess that the references to baloney are an inside joke between several of my blogging friends and I that goes back several years. (Did I say that correctly should I have said me? I used to ponder that question a lot when I proofed and corrected officer performance reports in years gone by.) I even had one of my readers ask what baloney was.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna_sausage
Baloney is actually a slang term for bologna. I never buy baloney even when we are under a severe winter weather warning because it is loaded with a lot of salt and fat. I do like it fried in a pan and put in a sandwich with cheese. And now I promise that the next time I go to the store I will buy some baloney.
And this post has been a bunch of baloney. LOL!!
Have a peaceful weekend. Stay safe and be happy!!

we ate fried bologna sandwiches a lot as kids. i don't eat the stuff now.
ReplyDeleteI have heard the expression lots of time. Never seen the food item before you live and learn - Hugs Nita
ReplyDeleteWe grew up with it, too. We don't ever buy it either, now.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Beth! You are too funny- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMom used to make us sandwiches out of it..I haven't had any since I was a kid. It's way too fat and salty as you said. I prefer Tuna and eat that often. Hope you have a DRY day there. Roads are slick here with rain turning snow into icy slush. Cannot wait for Spring..have a feeling it will be late this year darn it. Take care Prayers to you always XoXo
ReplyDeleteI love bologna but I don't buy it. For the reasons you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the "me and I" as well and as we have several teachers as blogger friends, maybe they can tell us both. Heck, I could ask Bruce, my son. He is a teacher after all. xoxoxo
I don't eat it now but remember it fried in a sandwich when I was a kid. It was good but not good for me!
ReplyDeleteA bit of grammar information. The pronoun "I" is used as the subject of a sentence. The pronoun "me" is correctly used as the object; therefore, usually appearing in the predicate. In the case above, the correct choice would be "me." Lesson for the day!
ReplyDeleteYes, bologna is loaded with fat and salt - plus other preservatives, probably. While I remember eating it as a child pan-fried, we haven't had any here in years and years!
Have a good Saturday, Beth. Enjoyed this post today! xo Nellie
Thank you Nellie!! Where were you when I was doing all of that proofing? :-)
DeleteOh, meant to tell you I have a new blopg post agian.,

Yikes, I'm not sure if my first two comments went thru or not Beth. About baloney - I know both terms and use them myself. It might be a midwest thing or maybe not. Anyway. I have to laugh when I see it used because it looks so normal to me. I tend to forget the proper name - balogna!
ReplyDeleteI have a new blog post: http://shufflingalongwithparkinsonsdisease.blogspot.com/2014/01/old-mother-hens.html
I am heading over now to check out your new post!
DeleteWell we love Ring Bologna! It's all spelled that way. Some varieties are garlic, jalapeno, beef, turkey, and others. The true German style which is naturally smoked and fully cooked doesn't have as much the bad stuff.
ReplyDeleteI remember as a kid being full of baloney too! Some would say not much has changed ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad that you'll treat yourself and that you learned your answer.
ReplyDeleteNice one Beth, although that baloney sounds much too salty and fatty for my taste. Bye for now you witty lady xx

ReplyDeleteI would say that it is a fun post. Thanks for the chuckles. Have a good weekend.
I would say it is a fun post. Thanks for the chuckles:)
ReplyDeleteomgosh, i LOVE fried baloney, i have not had it in years!! fried pork roll is delish also and just about as healthy ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI too like it on grilled cheese sandwiches, but haven't had it for a very long time. I don't think it will hurt to have it once in a while. : )
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh....we grew up eating fried bologna sandwiches....one of our favorites still....great memories!!
ReplyDeleteOh Beth....I had to laugh at this...we grew up eating fried bologna sandwiches...great memories!!!! Still have them to this day!
ReplyDeleteMe. Oh, yeah. It's all about me. I haven't had bologna in years.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
LOL Beth! Thanks for the smiles. :) I haven't eaten bologna (or salami), or any cured meats in a very long time...and your comment about the high fat content is so right. Cured meats give me migraines.
ReplyDeleteOk now I know what it is, still I wouldn't eat it as it doesn't look or sound like something I would like.........but thanks for telling me what it is
ReplyDeleteHave you ever watched bologna being made?
ReplyDeleteI think the correct word in your sentence would have been 'myself'.
ReplyDeleteI have to keep bologna out of the house. It's the salt...you have me craving it right now! I used to fry it for the kids when they were young...we called them Mexican Hats because of the way they puffed up. Oh, I'm really craving it now, but I know it's super bad for you.
XO,
Jane
Thinking of you tonight, and hoping you'll have a nice relaxing Sunday. We don't eat red meat or pork any more although if a friend invites us to dinner I'll eat their ham or bacon. My husband won't. I haven't had bologna for years, and don't really miss it. But I do miss bacon so sometime when out with a friend I'll have a BLT. I enjoyed your message today. Bertie
ReplyDeleteI think it may be best not to think about what goes into meat like this - and it does taste rather good with cheese!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Oops! Never eaten that.
ReplyDeleteToday we had a temperature of 31degC = 87.8degF...Wednesday we are expecting 37degC = 98.6degF, a nice warm summer's day :)
I don't know whether or not the word 'boloney' does derive from 'bologna' but it looks revolting. but sounds feasible enough.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
As a kid I ate that with Ketchup and toasted it.I still like it to this day but don't buy it. . It is fatty and salty for people with heart problems. Or any disease.
ReplyDeleteClot's the arteries. Enough of it.
I only like the brand by Maple Leaf. The rest is awful tasting.
ReplyDeleteI love fried bologna! We had some for Christmas Eve lol
ReplyDeleteAs you know I deal with the stuff. I don't eat it anymore but I do confess to really liking a particular baloney with Land O Lakes American cheese.
ReplyDeleteThe baloney is loaded with fat and salt but the Land O Lakes cheese has as much if not more salt than the baloney. American cheese in general has the most salt of any sandwich cheese. Anywhere from 350-400 mil. of salt per ounce. That's about a one inch square piece of cheese. It's not officially considered cheese. It's a pasteurized cheese food product. Swiss is naturally low in sodium. About 60-75 mil. of salt per ounce.
