(I wish there were two of me.)<br /><br />To any of you who added gross stories (and you know who you are...) thanks a heckuva lot. You are now officially on my "don't invite those people for dinner" list. :D<br /><br />Countryfriedmama: Were it not for the curiosity of children I might not have anything to blog about. :D<br /><br />Madame DeFarge: You can introduce haggis to him when we come to visit.<br /><br />Noelle: I would like to see what would happen if your daughter and my son had a play date. I think that would give us both a lot to blog about.<br /><br />Kanmuri: At the risk of me sounding culturally discriminatory... that's just wrong. :-P<br /><br />Becky: I'm just wondering what you're living on now. Maybe you're like a little air fern. Or perhaps you're only eating red licorice ropes which, technically, is more of a plastic rather than a food.<br /><br />Michelle: I'll have to try your recipe. Thank you!<br /><br />Tati: I will have to discuss the matter with your father.

He finds chicken boobs fascinating, and he still drinks milk even though he knows it's nearly the same thing as breast-feeding from a cow. But he does find breast-feeding from a goat mildly repulsive (?). He actually likes to eat off-the-beaten path organs and parts like livers, stomachs, and feet because--well--just because. Has your son ever sucked the marrow out of a chicken bone? Maybe that activity could be for a future dinner.

I am constantly thinking in my mind that I should just give up meat altogether considering that when I really think about what I'm eating, it makes me sick.<br />Then I remember that I live on a farm where we RAISE meat and come from a long line of meat raising people and that I would probably be disowned. I'm like the little kid hiding his vegetables except it's easier for me because the dog has no problem quietly eating the meat I sneak to him...Gertrude Groggins -https://www.blogger.com/profile/13812709748444343688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-24260370368759811742009-06-23T04:58:38.378-05:002009-06-23T04:58:38.378-05:00Classic!

Though this time I can't blame it on the kid.<br /><br />My mom and I and Mr. M went to lunch last week at an Italian restaurant and I ordered calimari.<br /><br />They brought it to the table and my mom said, "that's squid, right?" Right, I said, digging in. "Is it good?" my mom asked. "Oh yeah. This is just about the best calimari I've ever had," I said. "But it's squid? It's squid? It's so chewey, so tendony," she said, disgusted. As I chewed the last bite of my life.Lawyer Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04487040434589941351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-7532273858228913492009-06-22T21:04:25.019-05:002009-06-22T21:04:25.019-05:00Love pork chops.

When you get your appetite back for pork chops here's a recipe I think you'll like.<br /><br />1 pkg of pork loin chops thinly sliced<br />1 can cream of chicken soup<br />2 yellow squash<br />1 cup cooked instant white rice<br /><br />Fry pork chops till browned<br />While you're frying the chops cook your rice.<br />In big bowl stir together cream of chicken soup with 1 can of water then cut squash in slices and add to soup. When rice finishes cooking add this to your bowl of squash and soup.<br />After pork chops are done frying drain oil away except for 1 or 2 tbsp then add other ingredients w/pork chops and cook until squash is tender. This is a great meal. If you try it let me know.

At that moment, he calmly re-wrapped his McDonald's burger and pushed it to the side and went about enjoying his fries and iced tea. He didn't eat meat for a long, long time. I'm a vegetarian, but I still cook meat for him if he wants it, he just never seems to want it. He remembers finding out what it was like it was yesterday too. It's interesting how affected he was by it and yet I have friends who were raised on a farm and it never bothered them one bit.
