Oh, I had to laugh when I read we were having FLAMING HOT LAYS!

I could use one about now but I ate come vinegar and salt LAYS just before I went on line.... I should have waited!


Blue,
Let me make you a grasshopper.....DONE!

Menthe-I think you got it right!

OH when I start to think back I can tell thousands of them...

I have one of my dad- I thing a regular thread in the General section would be good later on, for the people who don't go near the DH!



My brother told me this on today.

My dad was going thru alzheimer's disease and kidney failure, dialysis, circulatory problems and he had his toes amputated. Not a nice way to go but he hung in there.


One day, on the way back from dialysis, my brother was pulled over because dad didn't have on a seat belt. The cop explained to my bro and dad why they were pulled over.

MY dad leaned over and asked the cop if he spoke Spanish. The cop said yes and this is what my brother said came outta Pop's mouth. It sounded way better in Espanol, but it's translates well!


"Look, I was driving before there were seatbelts in cars and way before you found a hard stool in your diaper......"

My brother buckled up my Dad and they drove off with a warning.

Richard, how about a mug of coffee w/some Bailey's Irish Cream in it? I've also been in the mood for some homemade guacamole and tortilla chips. I know, it doesn't exactly mix w/Bailey's, does it? My tastes in food and drink are weird but my taste in friends is not. I feel honored to be able to join the group and hear more stories about Mom Angelita. You can skip the food and drink if you like and just go straight to the storytelling. I'm all ears.

Oh Richard....I see you!!!

I'd love to join in and honor Angelita! She sure sounds feisty, if I can use that word.

LOLOL I have to laugh at all the "Mom" stories here. I could tell you a few about mine but this is a family bar! Anyway, Gini has met her.....'nough said.

So, now it's the end of a long work day and I'm winding down. I'm going to plunk myself down on the comfy couch and chill a little before heading home. Hmmm, I could sure use a double BM with a twist of lemon, a celery stick and a prawn & tomato skewer! Oh and bartender, please put a dash of horseradish in the BM....just the way Richard makes it! Yummy!

So Richard, you posted that we could all come and live with you. I'll take you up on that provided Ed. E. Katz gets to sleep with me. Only trouble is if I eat too much Mexican food, well....my intestines will probably complain loudly, if you get my drift. Poor Ed. E. Not sure if he could stand it.

Here's a toast to you Angelita. Thank you for giving us Richard.

[RICHARD]

I have a wonderful fire in the fireplace here at home, the cat is arse end toward the hearth and I would love a sip and bite of everything you all have made today.


Would anyone be interested in a homemade tortilla with real butter on it.

I made a batch today and the masa/dough was really great. THe best batch yet.

Let me roll out a few and let's sit down and hang out for a while!

And I just orderred a salad and pizza.

ETA: When we where kids visiting dad at Granny Mo's house, we called her that because my brother and I couldnt pronounce our last name when we where real little, GM came out from whatever she was doing in the kitchen and pointed at each of us in turn saying, "einy meany miny" then pointed to herself and said "Mo". She then went back to whatever she was doing in the kitchen.

How heartwarming is all of this? All of us are telling stories about our parents or grandparents. This is great!

Richard, I hope you are coping - you are such a faker - you try to hide behind that sense of humor and have all of us laughing. That's why we love you.

I have an Uncle story. I loved this Uncle Hal. I didn't get to see him often but when I did it was clear that he loved me. So fearlessly I would climb on his lap and ask him to "click" his teeth. He had false teeth that just fascinated me - I was just a wee one then.

He is also the one that taught me "I scream.....you scream......we all scream for ice cream. That meant ice cream was in my near future.

A homemade tortilla - you betcha - can I add some salt on top of the melted butter?
