potato/potato and too much macaroni cheese

I was watching TV this morning to catch up on the news (BBC) and weather (NY1 - my favourite parochial channel in the whole world), and ran into an advert for Dawn dishwashing liquid ("just foam it on to your sponge, and it will vaccuum away the grease, not push it around like other detergents"). Beyond the excitement at the thought of detergents pushing grease around, I was caught by the jingle used "Just one squirt of Dawn, and the grease is gone". Now you understand that in America dawn and gone rhyme (ie "darn" and "garn"). I found this very funny until I suddenly started thinking "what other accents would pronounce those two words such that they would rhyme?" Maybe I was the odd one out? Snooty British might say "dorn" and "gorn", Indian accents may say "dohn" and "gohn" Japanese accents may say "don" and "gon". So by this time I was sitting eating my cereal, and speaking aloud in my version of accents, seeing which would result in a rhyme of the jingle. This kept me amused for a little while, and I was reassured that there are exceptions outside of my strange hybrid accent (South Africans would not rhyme, neither would French nor Germans nor Italians - not sure about Spaniards but then that is generally true ;) ). So I felt better and went to catch a cab to work with a Jamaican driver! Oh, and Michael Jordan's Steakhouse was fantastic - best steak I have had in memory. The restaurant is on a balcony overlooking the main hall at Grand Central, and is quite buzzy. The sides were HUGE though. We ordered asparagus, creamed spinach, fries and "Michael Jordan's macaroni cheese" (how could you not as it is his grandmother's recipe), and the steaks did literally came on a plate with nothing else. Between the two of us at some restaurants you would get through all of those sides as they are so mingy, but although the waiter did warn us they were large, we were not prepared! Each side would be a meal in itself - 8 large sticks of asparagus, a full bowl of creamed spinach, a casserole sized bowl of macaroni cheese (delicious), and a basket of fries the size of a small waste paper bin. So much food went to waste! We also saw at the next table I guy ordered the vanilla cheesecake, and it was literally a wedge 20 cm high and about 10cam wide at the wide edge! Still, when you are the size of Michael Jordan maybe these things make sense. I was just a big fat piglet by the end of it. But a good night anyway...
