My [condensed] History
Garlic with J.K. "Em, the cure to that cold . . . . ? . . . 2 teaspoons FRESH minced garlic on a spoon." Not sure if we broke up because of my breath for the next 5 days or because I was so mad at him for allowing me to do this? Hated garlic until after college. Which probably was a good thing for my college experience. ;)
Bran muffins with my brother. Ahhhhh, the art of squeeze margarine in zig-zag formation - then - returning back to the same 1/2 muffin with horizontal lines. When yin & yang aligned just right you could get some strawberry jam to settle on top of the margarine mountain. The hardest part . . . . only getting to eat 4 each.
Indian Fry Bread with JJ Y. Love remembering the summer of 1994 at Manzanita Speedway. Smelling like gas [motor version- - - "garlic boy" hadn't come into play yet] watching him drive in circles, eating indian fry bread while listening to his dad curse at him. The best IFB ever.
Chicken wing.....chicken wing with RC. Watching movies from the projector room upstairs [where he worked] eating Native New Yorker chicken wings. Suicide version. Never "mild". Always double dipped in ranch. One dozen. EACH.
MG [Mr. Borscht]. Ewwww. I'd feel better if I just to a "pass" on elaborating on this one.
Fat free Carbo loading with MC. Rice with teriyaki sauce 3 days a week. What college lunches were made of.
JP: That's it's completely normal, fine & necessary to eat pancakes anytime between 11pm & 1am . . . . . as long as you are pretending you are studying at Denny's.

Corn on the cob - once you get that rhythm, there is no need to stop until that last kernel has popped (so to speak).
Aw... I love this post! :)
What a great relationship...minus the ox tail of course...
Probably better that Pita eats an oxtail rather than has one.
Laughing at the garlic per JK's advice!
Jamoosh is spot on. Its more of a technique than being polite. Once you start you just can't stop.
Favorite food... wings. Hands down. I met Heather and she likes beer and wings = perfect union. I think you are right with the whole food deal haha!
It all depends on where you are from ... I love my Angel, but tripe stew and head cheese are excuses to leave the table for me!
And then Mac and Cheese and boiled hot dogs is a reason to call the family counselor on her part!
Thanks for the mojo EMZ or should that be miji ... not sure!
emz, i remember when i was very young, i was having a conversation with my dad about the idea of being married one day and living happily ever after. his exact words were:
"make darn sure you like him"
great advice.
xo
Mooshy - rhythm? really? It's corn not your kenyan way GF.
Kovas - and if he does?
Emily - am I the only idiot he convinced to do this?!
Matty-O -- this H is an angel. Does she ever do anything wrong?!
Andrew - I'm scared [more like freaked] tripe stew and head cheese? I have no freaking clue what that even means.
Termite - thanks for sharing this. Dad-isms are the best!
I love garlic, but I would never eat it raw like that either. I had an uncle who claimed he ate a bowl full of raw garlic every day and he tried to get me to do it.
Love the picture of you two. :)
Head cheese. Not cheese at all. Pig brains (really). Got tricked into eating it once, was told it was cheese. Very Ukrainian dish. yuch.
Thank you Neil. Was too afraid to google that.
Andrew - who you eating with?! ;)
I always like to guess what food is pictured before I click on the link... This time, I guessed mussels but was way off.
Ima gonna need to go get some food after reading your post!
Consider the source Emz... I grew up believing that girls don't go number 2. I will leave it at that. Still going to therapy for that one hahaha.
For the recond - I'd like to state I don't do #2 and I don't "foof" either. Now do I "beat" H at SOMETHING?!?!
Nice post! Here in SA "corn" is called "mealies". "Corn on the cob" is called "green mealies". We do however talk about sweet corn...how confusing!
What? No experiences of deep fried twinkies, oreos or snickers bars?
I remember my dad chomping through and ear of corn like a typewriter. I could even hear the ding when he hit the end of a line.
hahaha, I never said SHE did that! ex-girlfriend, she ruined it.
Of course S H E doesn't. [huff]
Glad you got rid of that "ex" girl. Because that going #2 thing . . . it's for losers.
What is Ox Tail? I just saw the Duran Duran reference and naturally started reading.
Had my first fry bread this summer in New Mexico. Yummo!
Grew up on a dairy farm. Farmers eat everything.e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g!
[gross]
The garlic thing would've been rough...I can get pretty annoyed with people and how they eat corn on the cob, is there something wrong with that?
awwww what a great post :)
wings. yum. hot wings. even yummier!
head cheese? eeeek!!
Head Cheese? OH MY GOSH!
MMMM, you are making me HUNGRY girl! not so much with that last part. :S
Haha! I can understand your feelings towards the ox tail. But where I was born and raised, this is actually yummy. We call it "Kare-Kare". It's cooked in peanut sauce. Coincidentally, I just made it last Sunday. =D
Hey Hot legs - like that name BTW. ;)
I make it too - It smells amazing but ----- just can't bring myself to try it?!
Haha! Thanks! It's actually the name of my dance group when I was still in the Philippines. I decided to use it for running too.
You're not the only one, trust me. If I didn't grow up in Manila, I don't think I'd try it either ;p
We have a lot of dishes that can actually be featured as a challenge in Fear factor. Oh wait, actually, there were some that were in that show before. ;p
I think sucking the marrow from the bone is a good metaphor for life.
My girls love when daddy makes oxtail. LOVE IT. Char's right...life is like Oxtail.
Also, Amel actually beleived that girls don't 'foof' up until a year ago...even found ways to deny she did...until one day when her sister cleared the room. then she fessed up.
Head cheese and oso bucco are common treats here in NOLA. Not that I'm a fan.
