SIX!!!

[John G.]

Went out to dinner with my friend Gail, her mom and her sisters. Just after we were seated, there was a bit of a kerfuffle that I didn't quite understand, but I saw this group of people being shown to their table. Rather than sitting, the group started acting strange and then disappeared by a nearby door.

It turns out that it was the ex-husband of one of Gail's sisters, the woman he was having an affair with when he got married to the sister and other members of their family. Apparently they saw Gail and family and decided to leave quickly. But they didn't do it gracefully. The door they went through was one door to the kitchen. I'm sure that was a big surprise to the cooks and the rest of the staff. They managed to go out another door and they left the restaurant, according to another sister who watched them to make sure they left.

I used one of of the free entree coupons today  for the grilled shrimp dinner  it comes with rice and two sides,  I ordered two sides of mushrooms  you  get two skewers of shrimp, but one was enough for me 

I brought home half the rice  one skewer and one side of mushrooms   so not only was dinner free  but so is tomorrows lunch

Until I was in college I always thought cottage cheese was the proper  cheese for use in lasagna and  ziti etc   

Since the Vixter and Vixdad refuse to eat pasta in any way, shape, or form  it really doesn't come up much

Sure your husband will eat one of those nasty kidney pies, but he won't even sample a big plate of fettuccine alfredo!

[vixmom]

the Vixter and Vixdad refuse to eat pasta in any way

what, What, WHAT?     

 oh yes -- no pasta , that includes egg noodles, for either of them

Vixdad shuns both mashed and baked potatoes  but will eat rice and stuffing , although the Vixter will not touch either

and then Vixter shuns any cheese but mozzarella

is it any surprise that my  cooking skills have seriously deteriorated since living with these two?

[vixmom]

Well, I guess no one from here is ever going to be invited to my house for dinner.  At least, not when I serve my own lasagna, because I make mine with cottage cheese.  I have never claimed it to be Tom's Italian Lasagna, just Tom's Lasagna.  I have never had a complaint from anyone who has tried it.

Same here, TCB.

And here.

Thank you Laura and Ginny,  I am glad I am not alone.

No one is alone

[singdaw]

Wow, DR John G.  That is certainly a kerfuffle!       

[singdaw]

No one is alone

I hope it didn't ruin the evening for your party

nope, no kidneys  neither

[vixmom]

he will eat a steak and mushroom pie,  or a chicken pie, or a shepherd's pie (which ain't really pie)

and so, thank goodness, will the Vixter

Ann, the divorcee, did beg for her martini to be brought as quickly as possible. Other than that, we laughed at it and dove into our food.

So you don't ever get a chance to make that great noodles and sour cream dish?

Nope. No kidneys here, either. Too glandular tasting.

[vixmom]

Vixdad can't stand the scent of  cinnamon  or parmesean or cheese

[TCB]

he will eat a steak and mushroom pie,  or a chicken pie, or a shepherd's pie (which ain't really pie)

and so, thank goodness, will the Vixter

But shepherd's pie has mashed potatoes on top, doesn't it?

[John G.]

Buy him a clothes pin for his nose, Vixmom.

But they will eat pizza?

I make it for MEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 

That's one time I am happy they won't eat the noodles  because it's mine  all mine   my precious   heh heh heh heh

[vixmom]

oh and neither of them will eat sour cream

[vixmom]

heathens

[vixmom]

OR sauerkraut



or Caraway seeds!!

But shepherd's pie has mashed potatoes on top, doesn't it?

yes , but they get broiled and brown and he suffers them because he likes the meat, mushroom, pea brown gravy mixture underneath

[John G.]

I haven't been able to shake "Great Expectations," though it seems to be trying to shake me.

I watched a mediocre 6-hour British mini-series and then started playing the two musical versions I have. The first, with Tovah Feldshuh and Sally Ann Howes, had only a piano for accompaniment and much of the lyrics was lifted almost directly from the novel. It was misguided, to say the least.

Now, I'm listening to the would-be Andrew Lloyd Webber version, which has an overblown score and wretched lyrics, such as "Cobwebs and Cake," the big number for Miss Havisham. It also has one of those tenors with a ridiculous high range playing Pip. I expect to hear dogs barking the next time he reaches for one of those high notes.

[TCB]

It got up to 92 here in Tacoma today.  I was not ready for that.

Heathens is right.

[vixmom]

Vixdad can't stand the scent of  cinnamon  or parmesean or cheese

But they will eat pizza?

yes  they will both eat pizza, which is why when I walk into the  local pizza place they simply hand me  my order without me having to announce my name
  and bid me on my way  by saying "See you next week"

Do they like just cheese pizza or will they allow any toppings?

[TCB]

I wouldn't know what to cook for either one of them.

[TCB]

Vixmom, your list of your families dislikes has apparently driven John from the site.
