Backstory: My brother John is a chef and frequently admonishes my mother about the dangers of bacterial spread in food left out on the counter.

I just made the most delicious enchiladas I’ve  ever eaten!
Ground turkey with seasonings, enchilada sauce,  black beans, white corn, vegetarian refried beans, a sprinkle of cheddar, and sauteed red and green jalapenos, in a whole wheat tortilla with lettuce…….heavenly!!!

However if daddy and I die from eating them (ground turkey thawed on the counter ALL DAY) please give John permission to speak at my funeral and say that he told me SO.

Backstory: I asked my mom what she thought about me becoming vegan.

Sounds good! Kind of like a meat fast, huh? Just don’t be a freak about it.

I’m trying to do coffee w/out cream & artificial sweetner and it’s like toast w/out butter or sex w/out penis…

So, I just made brownies and they came out as thin as pancakes! When I serve them tomorrow night, say, “Oh. you made miniature chocolate bites! I love them!”. They taste good and, if you don’t think of them as brownies, they’re fine!
LOVE

Backstory: I had asked what was for dinner.

Well, I paid for steak which we did not eat last night and I will not be here tomorrow because I have a meeting at 5:30..Then, I also bought a pork roast, which I had tapped for Wed. Plus, there are turkey sausages for turkey lasagna…Then, I have another meeting Friday… When would you be here tonight? Plus, I am ordering Christmas gifts and planning when to buy the donations for the giving tre…And I have not even bought anything for you ,daddy, etc….When would you arrive? Tonight is the football game.

Backstory: We have been eating dinner at my parent’s house every Sunday since my sister and I moved out.

Thanks for the soup recipe K, It sound delicious!
This brings me to the next topic, Sunday dinner.
Lately it exhausts me to cook Sunday dinner, sooooo I have decided that it will become one pot Sunday dinner and everyone will take a turn.  We will have dinners that take only one or two pots to make, like spaghetti, redbeans, soup, stew, etc.  Put your recipe thinking caps on girls and get ready to cook. Next Sunday is J’s turn! K, you get dessert. I get the day off, however I will buy ingredients but you need to get me a list by Saturdays at noon. And I will have the booze. HAhaha
Happy searching
Love, Mom

Backstory: my mom and i have been sharing our experiences trying recipes from the “Skinny Bitch in the Kitch” cookbook.
(lyvm = love you very much)

Have a really wonderful day! I’m planning on it and feeling good.

BTW–eating word for the day–lentils!  I learned to make this French Lentil salad from the SBintheKitch book–delicious, great pooping, and I lost weight!

lyvm.

I had an experience yesterday that has me thinking of becoming a vegetarian.  Cracker Barrel served me raw chicken and I mean raw.  I had eaten half of it before I noticed and I can think about it now and almost get sick.  The manager said they push a timer when they fry food and that they had pushed the wrong timer.  Your daddy wanted me to throw up, but I’m not good at that.  I’m waiting for my friend e-coli or salmonella to hit.

We just picked Daddy’s one and only Zucchini.  We’re going to make it for dinner.  Look at the size compared to daddy’s foot.  Nice pedicure, HUH!!!

Love,
Us

so which one of you temptresses left an ice cream cake in the freezer.   my dilemma:   coffee vs. ice cream for breakfast.     demon children!!!!!

m

Okay, so I’m standing in front of the counter here where we keep the coffee pot, fridge and microwave, warming up some coffee and eating some cherries, and a cherry pit drops out of my mouth, onto the floor, in between the wall and the fridge. There’s not enough room for me to stick my hand in there to get it, so I go get my ruler. I stick the ruler down there and I’m swatting around the pit disappears under the fridge. So, I start thinking gee,it might attract bugs, so I get down on the floor on my stomach with the ruler, and I let out this huge fart, and I burst out laughing and spit all over the wall, and I never did find the pit.

Your neurotic mother is concerned about your bowels. Granola bars and a roll for4 days is not adequate. Can’t you find any fruit? Please, at least get some juice. Of course, I would be happy if you got in a little protein. Isn’t there a market where you cold get some wonderful bread and ham? Do you have a kitchen in your flat? Take a little red pill if you need.

Are you sleeping? Are you over your jet lag?

I’ll call you this w/e. Just let me know when it would be best. Sounds like you are keeping yourself occupied. Buy yourself a ganga deal. You deserve it.

Love you,
Mama

Backstory: My mom sent me this in an email after a weekend of not so great cooking.

I have decided to boycott the kitchen for a while since my cooking skills (and level of interest in it) have both disappeared like that stimulas package we were suppose to receive. Between the failed crabmeat au gratin, burnt & greasy fried chicken, over cooked squash, I’m done for a while. Did manage to come thru on the milk gravy but now you know how to fix it. Cans of soup & PB&J all sound just fine to me. See you Friday, mom

Backstory: Here’s what happens when you do provide a grandchild, and then agree to leave that small person with your parents for a week so you can go away.  (Please know I got this maybe 5 minutes after my mom and I rang off)

What vegetables does he like? Baked Beans?,salad? stewed tom? fresh tomatoes, carrots, celery, Fruit; peaches and pears i know he likes; what others? Flavors ice cream? Meat? Hot dogs? Chinese food? Hamburgers and sloppy joes are all know. Chicken, turkey? chinese food? You roast your potato chunks at 425 degrees for how long? Beef or chicken gravy. Sliced ham? What for sandwiches other than PB?J. What goes in his lunch box?All of this you may already have covered in your notes to me but if not, these are my questions! Love ya Mom

yippeeeeeeeeeee

he took enough tree roots out of trap to make wigs for 10 bald people!

poor donnie had been in the hospital..they accidentally burned a hole in his colon!
taking polyps out..they ended up taking 12 inches of his colon!

well then i asked for a discount..since it was only in oct he did it..

ok..i think i’ll have an icecream cone now..

Backstory: My brother and I both live a couple hours away from our parents, so they’re trying to get us to come in this weekend, with the promise of a crawfish boil. I sent a couple emails to make sure they wanted to do it, and apparently that was a couple too many.

to all of you retarded people; just chill!!! I am very busy at work but we can plan to do something seafood-related on Sat. if everyone is coming in. If crawfish is too expensive, we will go on with another plan. SO all of you just relax and everything will work out as it always does. So, ya’ll come home on Friday evening and we will go from there. Got it??? Love, MOM
