Dad, when he was poor, survived on peanut butter and onion sandwiches — no lie, as I couldn’t make that up. 🙂
Though not nearly as weird, I like spinach salads with olive oil and malt vinegar. 
I’ve not run into anyone else who likes it. They usually put balsamic vinegar on instead. Go figure. 🙂
I love garlic in my stir fry, onions too. The malt vinegar on my spinach salads might be a little quirky, but not up to the level of garlic on ice cream, know what I mean, Verne? Not even if it was free. 🙂
The same goes with cash flow. It goes well with retirement. In fact, surveys show it’s #1 on retirees’ wish list — more of it, that is. 🙂
You’re invited to my place, for a short weekend read on the subject of how cash flow can actually significantly reduce your ultimate retirement income.
The misuse, or rather, poorly timed pursuit of cash flow is maybe the most misunderstood factor in real estate investing.
While you’re there, try listening to a podcast or two. By far, the two most popular are Purposeful Planning and Grandpa Economics.
Enjoy your weekend.

You are the second person I have heard say:
Know what I mean, Verne?
My Dad is the other. He said it so much he had the dash cover in his truck embroidered with that phrase.

The saying came from a TV character, whose identity I’ve forgotten. But he was not an M.I.T. graduate — much like me. 🙂
Tell your dad hi.

Jim Varney. The “Vern” bit came from a series of local TV commercial he did. He confided to Vern one great deal after another. This went national with a series of Sprite spots. He had a Saturday morning TV show after that, and his biggest role was as Jed Clampett in the movie version of The Beverly Hillbillies. Comedians say funny things. Comics say things funny. Varney was a really dumb act, but he could pull it off flawlessly.

Don’t you guys remember Earnest – you know in the movie Earnest Saves Christmas, Earnest goes to Prison, Camp, etc.
I am not so sure about that garlic ice cream but since you mentioned olive oil, that reminds me, does anyone know for sure what the Olive Garden put on their salads?

DB — I’m lost on that one. I can’t remember the last time I was in an Olive Garden. Now I’m curious. 🙂
Thanks for the ‘Ernest’ reminders.
