That child is being raised correctly.

Reminded of kindergarten exchange.    Assignment: draw your breakfast.    Son turned in a page of light brown circles. 

Teacher: Are those pancakes?

Son: Crepes.

FLAVOUR (CONTAINS MILK)


Contains milk but is not milk. Hmm. This is the kind of stuff that drives me nuts on ingredient lists.

One of my daughters took great delight in saying to my other daughter's new boyfriend who was eating with us for the first time "we always have our guests say the blessing before we eat." Of course she waited until said boyfriend had lifted a fork to his mouth. (We never say a blessing before eating, it was just her twisted sense of humour.) She also liked to introduce herself as Guadalupe (which is not her name) and introduce my husband as "my Mom's son from her first marriage." Anything to make the new beau confused or uncomfortable!

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

This would be the best. thing. ever.  I would NEVER get out of bed.  I'd need two, though.....one for white wine.....maybe three....one for riesling......   NO four...another for ice wine during summer.

Uh-huh, my late husband was as deaf as a post until I tried opening something like this or a potato chip bag late at night.

Like a dog and a cheese wrapper....

My maiden aunt had a lidded candy bowl that rang like Big Ben when as a 6 year old I tried to sneak a piece of her home made fudge.
