Inappropriate family photo. Even their smiles makes one uncomfortable.
I think the Mom sets a fine example! We should (most of us) have more sun, by Gum!
I could so post a few of mine to these...
But then, I wouldn't want to be abandoned to the wolves by my children in my decrepitude.
What's with all the doubles, ladybug?
Eeked. And now let me tell you what I had for dinner last night, because even though you won't get it, you have NO IDEA how good it is.
Whitebait fritters. One pound of whitebait, 2 eggs, a sprinkling of self-raising flour and some salt and pepper. Fried in butter on the bbq.
Whitebait fritters, good with lemon, but where I grew up we dipped them in worcestershire sauce. Whitebait are a real delicacy here, only available August-November when the young inanga fish are heading into rivers to grow. They sell for $100 a pound at the moment.
Oh, and it was indeed a double. ladybug is new here so it's cool -- but do a search beforehand if you're not sure.
!!$100 a POUND?!!!
Please tell me you either went fishing or forgot a decimal point.
At $1.00 a pound I'd be eating fish like no tomorrow. I lubs me some liddle fishies baked, fried, sauteed.
But I refuse to eat anything that's $100 a pound.
But there's not
We didn't pay; it was a gift. I'd never pay for whitebait!
Christmas whitebait here too! And free! My bro was hoarding two pounds of the delicacy, and since both his wife and stepdaughter are "allergic" to them, he shared a pound of the deliciousnesses with me and mum. Yum yum pigs bum.
*glee*
See, that $100 a pound thing shook me up so bad I couldn't even finish what I was going to say.
Well, sounds like half the country was eating whitebait. No wonder it's so bluddy expensive!!!
And here I thought that $25.00 a pound for halibut cheeks was outrageous.
Last night was homemade split pea soup and homemade pizza, tonight it's more pea soup and something else.
My neighbours are leaving the country tomorrow and bequeathed us their pantry's contents. I rearranged the entire kitchen to make room and reorganise everything, then wound up making a batch of vanilla cupcakes, iced them with everyone's initials, then we ate them before they were completely cool.
(There were a dozen, so I initialled 6 for the six of us that were there, and labelled the rest with #2's initials, then we ate all his too.)
Oh yeah, well I cleaned out my really, really empty refrigerator in anticipation of grocery shopping this Wednesday after getting paid. Not only are we low on groceries, I don't have any laundry detergent.
*all out of fresh fruit and veg*
*is sad*
*has lots of dirty undies*
*is still sad*
That's actually my usual state, BlueHorse. Today the kids and I are apparently making more muffins. This does not bode well for my plan to lose weight over the holidays.
*coughs*
Eeked posts are for BREKKIES!!! There's this cool site I know for posting dinners, 'Bashi...
</self promo>
Hee! And if I'd taken my own pictures, I'd have posted it there :)
Why is it I never see the website for dinner consisting of leftovers in a skillet with mushroom soup slopped over it? Eh? EH?
*hates the week before payday*
*really hates being unemployed*
I must confess to frequent lurking (and drooling) over at Senor Queso's site. I don't post though, because my bachelor chow is seldom as tasty or photogenic as the great stuff posted by Cheesie and his regulars.
Chin up GramMa! 2010's gotta be better than last year.
So, Queso, you want a picture of a can of "Chef Boyardee ravioli" coming out of the microwave? Well, actually it's all in the presentation... no checkered table cloth, wine carafe, and candles here... plate held on my lap while watching Stewart and Colbert from the armchair.
Maybe I could fib it up a bit, but then I would be morally obliged to post on "WhatIDidntHaveForDinnerTonight.com" instead.
I would think a can of anything coming out of the microwave would be entirely impressive.
Cans in the microwave would be impressive!
^^^ Warning: heavy breather.
I love how you all think your dinners would be unimpressive. What you forget in your myopia is that they are only unimpressive to YOU. Everyone else would find them interesting, as you find everyone else's dinners interesting.
That is the most fascinating part about the dinner blog, the whole "oh, I would if my dinners were more interesting, but everyone else's are so great." Ferchrissakes, I have salad and some sort of meat every night, when I'm not having leftovers; that's hardly gourmet city. So come on and get off yer duffs and join in! I'd love to see a can of the Chef, or a skillet full of mushrooms, 'cause they're what you had for dinner tonight.
