Gourmet Anyone?

A resplendent Saturday dinner.




Photo taken with my brand new Canon XSi

Beefaroni, canned corn, and leftover bacon. Ohh yeaah.

Doesn't this shot, not to mention this entire meal, remind you of The Pioneer Woman?

Please, hold your applause. Really, it's not necessary. You'll only embarrass me. And no, we did not have guests. Just us chickens.

Next episode: Mary sitting on the toilet, groaning endlessly.

you let the corn touch the beefaroni!!! that is a huge no-no in our house! the foods cannot co-mingle!!

Why Mary...........you've outdone yourself girl!! Pot roasts are so over-rated aren't they? I'd rather spend quality time with the kiddos than hours in the kitchen burning food anyways.
Hey, beefaroni in an American kid staple that should be eaten and often!! If I "shared a sip" of my Corona before meals, my kiddos thought everything was delicious ya know?
So, that being said.....I am applauding you right now (can you hear me....I'm not kidding either)

Steady On

I had to read the words before I realized that was bacon. The corn and beefaroni, I got right away. I am smart like that. But the other thing on the plate kind of looks like a little chicken. A demented, mutant, chicken-pig, maybe??

Hey Mary,
Funny sidebar re: Pioneer Woman. Did you know she is from my home town and is the sister of Scandalous Housewife's own 'Budd Foxx'?
Yep, but she calls him her brother WDS.

LOL...Mary, thats BETTER than PW!

I was gonna say the same thing as kel...we have 'special' plates so no food cohabitates with another...I cant wait till they outgrow that stage

I agree it is important not to let the foods commingle.

Wow! I did not realize commingling of food was such a faux pas!! Where have I been all these years?! I thought it was just a 7- to 10-year-old kind of thing...

I'm going out right now to buy some of those special plates...Thanks everyone!

I hope you had a bucket full of Tums? Just looking at that gave me heartburn. But the corn? Love me some canned corn.

How About Some Kielbasa Up The Poopshoot?

Well, guys, it's worse than I thought it could ever be. It's so bad, I had to pre-empt my previously scheduled post for today. Yeah, I know. Reeal baaad. Yesterday, I went for my appointment with a new gastroenterologist to try and figure out what has been plaguing me all these years and making me lose all sorts of weight, and be a Type 7 most of the time. First things first. This doctor = awesome. I was worried he might be kind of weird, since who really decides to work on people's asses and intestinal inner workings? No one in their right mind, that's who. But this doctor, he was okay. Really thorough, really smart, but I honestly think he's on Quaaludes or whatever those things are that make you hyper (are Quaaludes uppers or downers?). The guy reminded me of Speedy Gonzales, or the Roadrunner. Wiiiiiing!!! Swoooosh! One moment, he's here, the next, he's gone. I need whatever he has. And yesterday please and thanks. I realize this guy is of African-Ame...

My mother died last night. I don't know how to feel or what I feel. I am sad, but not just because of her passing. I am sad for a wasted lifetime of anger, resentment, and hatred. She'd been in and out of the hospital over the past few years and was getting on, but you know, when it actually happens, it's always a shock. It doesn't matter how much time you have to mull things over, knowing this is bound to happen sooner rather than later. It's still unbelievable when it finally does happen. This last time, she had been in the hospital for about two weeks, but had been doing quite well. They were just waiting for a bed to open up for her at a longer-term care facility so that she could further recuperate before returning home. She was in the hospital for multiple spinal fractures. Thank you, osteoporosis. Nothing at all related to her eventual demise. Last Sunday, she was walking the halls in the hospital. Monday, she didn't feel so great. Tuesday came and she b...
