Thursday #294 - For our Richard

[slick]

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.

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?

[zippy-kat]

Salt? How about a little bit of sugar and a lotta bit of cinnamon!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Salt?

How about a little bit of sugar and a lotta bit of cinnamon!

Uhhhh ... Isn't there supposed to be some "stuff" in there, too?
Like maybe:

* A Meat
* A Cheese
* A Salad
* Beans
* SOMEthing ??

But I could be wrong.

[zippy-kat]

Nope. Butter, sugar, cinnamon inside a folded and browned-just-right tortilla makes a YUMMY dessert.
