Ha, good policy for Christmas dinner, too.
Last year I spent both away. This year I make up for it.
Bacon just makes everything taste better.
I can always deal with bacon, but don’t cure it with something sweet like apples 😊😊
Is that intended as a reference back to the Micky Mantle thread? Not that there's anything wrong with that. 😉
Got that right, and complain incessantly at the dinner table so everyone knows how unhappy you are…very important
Rabbit I can deal with. But possum stew is way beyond "ew"; it rises to the level of "blech".
I'd eat raw possum before I'd attend another football game in Yankee Stadium, though. Just to provide some perspective on things.
I don't know. I think keeping one's sexual fantasies all bottled up inside is probably what's unhealthy.
If he wants to talk about what he likes, I think we should encourage him. 😃
I chopped a pound of it into the stew I made yesterday. Yum.
Although I forgot the potatoes. As my youngest said to me in real disgust after realizing there were no potatoes in the stew: who forgets the potatoes?
No passes on forgetting potatoes in a stew.
Your son is completely correct.
Yeah, that's kind of a big one to forget. It's one of the main staples of the meal. It's sort of like when your wife forgets to bring butter and syrup to a breakfast tailgate and you're making pancakes.
It was criminal cooking negligence and I feel pretty bad about it.
With respect to your analogy, I feel like maybe that wasn't an entirely hypothetical situation. 😃
The tailgate thing reminds me, painfully now that I think about it, of when, many years back, on a very dark and foggy evening, my then wife had called me to say she was gonna be back after doing some thing or another, and I said "please don't park behind the Suburban on the driveway, it's foggy, dark, and I'll be headed out to soccer practice w/the kids soon".
And, and this is a crucial element to the story, she responded "okay".
So maybe 30 minutes later I run out with the kids in a great big rush. We climb into the SUV with the darkened windows, on the dark foggy night, and I start backing out. But after a few inches, the SUV stops moving, so I give it bit more gas thinking maybe I'd nudged a curb (curved driveway edged with curbs that narrows down to a single lane from two by the garage behind the house). The SUV moved a little farther, but it was struggling to move at all so it was obvious it wasn't just a curb.
I get out, walk back and, lo and behold, her car is sitting there, not just behind me where she said it wouldn't be, but behind and to the right in the SUV's blind spot on an angle. Even though there was a ton of room all the way to the garage to the right.
But, apparently, it was way too F-ing hard to pull up safely next to me. Or way too much F-ing effort to have paid attention when I asked her not to park behind me. Or maybe it was way too F-ing complicated to figure out why parking where she did would be an unhelpful thing to do especially after F-ing telling me "okay" about not F-ing doing it.
So now her car had a nice big F-ing dent where the right rear bumper of the SUV shoved in the left rear quarter panel of her car. Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! @(@#@(#$T@#(&@#$%$^@W#$%(&*^@#%(.
Let's just say that the kids might've picked up some colorful new expressions that day.
So... yeah. I guess that the pancakes without butter or syrup analogy was actually nothing at all like the driveway mishap thing. I suppose it's remotely possible that I might, even after all these years, still be just that tiny bit pissed off about the whole thing. Perhaps I'm unhealthily obsessing over it.
Maybe I've just had an unprompted Joe Pesci moment. I won't argue the point. 😃
Well we all know what you like: it's woolly and goes "B-A-A-A-A-A-H-H-H-H-H-H!!!!!" Unfortunately, you're misinterpreting what they are saying:

So you've had one?
Vinegar, sugar, sliced onions, beets and beet juice. Like a slaw mix without the mayo.
Favorite for old school bar.
People actually ate those things in the jar? I thought they were just some type of Salvador Dali like weird decoration.
You mean mad scientist with specimens of extra toes and brains and crap. No, just sprinkle some salt and just like a boiled egg with a twist.
Deep fried turkey sucks…lol. We did try it a few years back and it was super dry. They didn’t do much turkey down there. A proper gumbo or jambalaya my wife will knock your socks off! Lol
Besides the green egg out back does wonders. Best piece of cooking equipment I’ve ever owned and allows for injections during cooking. We do use Cajun seasonings and injections for the turkey, call it ‘Cajun smoked turkey’ lol.
Smoking meats are the preferred method in our household😂😂😂

Pickled Herring???? Has anyone currently under 50 even attempted to try pickled herring??? Why did your generation do this to yourselves?! Lol. Food is amazing and you choose pickled herring?????
You must of f-ed it up or cooked it too long. Deep fried turkey is know to keep its moisture more then any other cooking method. Once you dip the turkey into the hot oil the skin shrinks and seals the outside. You don't need a thermometer, once it flouts take it out immediately. Never heard anyone come up with your complaint. I was taught by two NOLA chefs
Just my experience. Cooked it with my father in law who insisted on overseeing and checking it constantly so that probably didn’t help… lol.
Like I said though, the green egg does wonders for cooking really any kind of meat. I think we also just prefer smoked meats
I've have one of those to. Like it for some things but ironically I feel it drys out chicken and fresh pork. Excellent for pulled pork, meh for brisket.
