Mexican Restaurant Has New Owners; Mom Panics

Mariachi’s has new owners.

The woman on the radio (she is one of the hosts of the morning show on Y98) was VERY upset by it. She raved about Mariachi’s. I heard her talk about them previously on the show.

I HATE to go in there if they’ve changed! I can see it now:

1. I park

2. I walk in

3. All gringos working now – don’t recognize a soul.

4. Say “I’m out of here!”

5. Leave

Watch Out Below! Bacon Bombs at Work

At WORK in our WORK cafeteria they made a bacon bomb yesterday!!! I guess they couldn’t resist the challenge! I of course would have sampled it (at least you can try it without making the whole darn thing) but I had a meeting and by then it was gone, whatta world, whatta world!

Thoughts on Kiwi

I don’t like them. They look like testicles, and therefore I can’t think of anything else when I try to eat them.

Can’t Resist the Call of the Peanut Donut

Hi Girls,
It is just after 10pm and I learned that XXXXX has recalled, because of the peanut contamination, their peanut covered donuts. Guess what I had for breakfast this am? Yeah, I bought 3 donuts yesterday, and had 1/2 of the peanut donut this morning. Oh oh, it is now only 11 hours since I ate, it looks like I have from now until about 72 hours to see if I’m infected. Dad is taking the 1/2 peanut donut and the other glazed donut back in the morning.

They sure looked so good!!! Why didn’t I resist the call of the peanut donut?

Ok, 12-72 hours and counting. LOL Hummmmmm…..nice to be close to the bathroom. Get the bucket Tim.
Love,
Mom

Buxom Mother Wants Grapes, Not Sweets

I forgot to tell you that I ate all the sweets you bought and left behind at Xmas–I don’t even particularly like sweets!…I am really going to change my eating habits and enjoy eating fresh fruit and veg. To that end I have just purchased a bag of grapes. I mean it this time I am going to get in shape and feel good about it. Phil is now so fat that when he rolls over in bed he takes all the covers with him and I end up freezing – I know too much information-he says a dog is the answer – I said I’m not sleeping with a dog-thought that may make you chuckle! Your buxom mother xx

That Lamb Has Devil Eyes

Mom: i am making lamb for christmas eve dinner

Mom: what???
Me: um, aren’t we celebrating the birth of the lamb of god?
Mom: hmmm. I hadn’t planned it this way. but i’m ok with it.

Dad’s “Man-Spirit” Is Long Dead

Backstory: My dad is the only male in our family, with my mom and then my two sisters and myself. He is constantly out numbered. In fact my husband is convinced we killed his “man-spirit” years ago. My dad is also a weepy kind of guy, cries more then my mom by far. Poor dad.

Your dad just walked in to take my lunch order. He is my slave, no wait, he is my bitch. Hey bitch! I want some lunch! Your dad would like to say a quick hi, but he’s too busy being my bitch. Love you.

Preparing for Your Vegan Arrival

Pls let me know what you would like me to have, foodwise, in the refrig/pantry.  It’s been a year since you’ve been home, so I probably need to stock up, vegan-wise.  As long as I’m going on a grocery shopping trip, I may as well buy specific to your wants/needs/plans.  I did go to the health food place for Egg Replacer, plus some surprises. And, there are already 4 to 5 (?) boxes of tofu at home.

We can go shopping on the way home from the airport (after we go out to eat!), but you know I’ll want to go to Walmart and I’m not sure how you’re feeling about them these days, though I’d bet that the [local grocery store] employees (for instance) don’t get much/any more salary/benefits than W-mart.  So, I’ll go to Walmart in advance of your arrival, and that makes it different, ’cause you’re not a knowing participant.

Love you oodles,
Mom

Another Hallmark Thanksgiving

Hi Sweetie,
Yes, Thanksgiving was memorable. Jimmy wore his finest sweatpants and announced he was no longer giving birthday or holiday gifts or cards to anyone. He had little stubs of used candles on his table. They couldn’t have been more than 3/4 of an inch tall. When someone asked about them he replied, “Well, I thought I could probably get one more dinner out of them.” So much for graciousness. We brought the dinner. His part was preparing a vegetable. Of course to go with the Thanksgiving theme he chose Oriental vegetables in a lovely flavored sauce that positively bounced off your tongue it was so strong. Then he combined asparagus and squash which resulted in the squash being over cooked and the asparagus too tough to chew. It was a culinary delight. His niece also announced that they were not exchanging gifts but not to fret for we would all receive pictures of their children. Honestly, I can hardly wait. So there you have it, another Hallmark Thanksgiving.
Love,
Moosh

Voting=More Sex

Backstory: I emailed my mom about getting free Starbucks and a free Krispy Kreme when you vote.

How do they know you really voted? Any way I just read that fat women have more sex than skinny women so if you’re in the mood eat a donut!  xoxo Mo

Food for Thought

Are you eating foods that have fats or fish oil for the brain?

DAMMIT, that was mine for a BLT!!!

Bee ( no pun intended haha) glad you are not home right now!  The  hornets
have invaded your room, well actually the house but more concentrated in  your
room. Like we probably have killed several dozen! YUCK!
Had a tomato that was just about red enough to be picked and discovered
yesterday that some critter took it off the plant and then ate half of it!
DAMMIT, that was mine for a BLT!!!
What is a sonic blast? You dip your fries in it? Isn’t it ice cream?  Sounds
gross to me!  The chinese sounded good tho.
Enjoy your day, can’t wait for you to come home. Love, Mom

I really must know what you have in your mouth.

Got it!  Good photo!   Did the studio send out the buffet  for you?!!  Is that a hotdog/cigarette/donut you’re eating?!!    Who is the young lady in front of you?

I really must know what you have in your mouth.  Dad is curious, too.

Please reply immediately.  Love, Mom

Applebee’s Just Doesn’t Measure Up.

Backstory: My mom LOVED Bennigans. We would go to Bennigans for any and all occasions. Since she heard that they went bankrupt and would be closing nationally, she has been completely devastated. It is all she can talk about, even on my 21st birthday!

Happy Happy Birthday to you on this special day

Happy Happy Birthday that’s all I have to say

Happy Happy Birthday may all your dreams come true

Happy Happy Birthday from Mommy to you

Benningans RIP 2008

I live in Wisconsin.

Besides beer and brats, could you bring home some cheese curds this weekend????  About 5 pounds of the white (no flavors/add-ins, etc.)  I would prefer those 1 pound packages like I got at the market.  Use my credit card.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

This weekend – I can’t wait!  Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Why Bennigan’s Closed

Just heard on the radio that all Bennigan’s have closed…..we ate there in the spring and the menu was awful…everything was fried and I know this doesn’t sound nice, but all the waitresses were really overweight….I told Dad I wondered how they stayed in business this long…..and then I heard this news this morning….

Oh by the way, White Castle’s now have BACON CHEESEBURGERS….I always think of you when I see the commercial…

Gotta go…got stuff to do..

Have a good day…love ya..

Mom xoxo

Keylime Miley

Hey Babe,

I’m gonna make your keylime pie today, but I gotta tell ya, I had to buy the keylime in a small plastic thing like they sell lemon juice, is that right?  I hope there’s a cup in there!  I guess I should have tried Whole Foods instead of Food Lion.

Miley Cyrus is on the Today Show, she doesn’t really sing that well!!!

G-Strings And Bridge Foursomes

Backstory: my 72 year old Mother went with her friend to the local casino b/c they sent a coupon for a free steak…at the Chippendale’s 5 p.m. show.

We had a good time Saturday, the show was hilarious, g-string only, thank God!  Never heard so many screaming women, sex starved, I guess, Ha!  Got a headache from the loud music and screaming..we were home by eight o’clock, was so tired yesterday, just can’t do that anymore, too old!!
went over to Cam’s around 3:30 yesterday to see Darcy swim in his new little pool ! took Lady and she behaved..then stayed til around six as Cam put the movie, Indiana Jones in to have me listen to the surround sound – really great!
Will grocery shop this morning – tomorrow will go to lunch with the bridge foursome, then play at Linda’s – look forward to it as haven’t seen them this summer.
Talk to you later!  Love you mucho, Mom

That Would Be Dangerous

Hi!

I still haven’t found the book but I was wondering if there were any foodie blogs you could tap into, someone who might be willing to chat online about the book or if there were any other websites you could read reviews, etc.  I am NOT suggesting you meet anyone in person as that would be dangerous.  Just a thought…

It’s Fishy

Mom: FYI, Women of childbearing age should only eat Lake Erie fish once a
week or month (I forget which). Pregnant women – more stringent. Maybe not at all, I forget that too. We had Lake perch last week and then I saw the warning in the paper

Me: Does that include women of childbearing age who are not having children
at the moment?

Mom: YES. Just in case. Perhaps it stays in your body and will farm your
future embryos.



Love, Mom
