I feel so uncultured around all of you...

Parents: American
Grandparents: American
Great Grandparents: one Native American and the rest...American.

It's funny. All of my grandparents were born in the states. But if people ask me what nationality I am, I say everything but American.

My mom father's family came from France in the mid 1600's to Canada and then to here around the Civil War. Of course I just know the dates of births (husband and wives), nothing else. My mom mother's family came from Portugal to here around the start of WW1. As for the other set, I really have no idea.

Had King Cake many times through the years--flown up via Fedex from New Orleans. However, I don't ever recall any "filling" in them, other than the little, plastic baby.

A plain King Cake doesn't have any filling but you can also get them with fillings. I like just cream cheese but you can also get creme cheese with blueberry or strawberry.

You already have quite a few men at home and one adopted "son". So what's one more "kid" to add to the group?!! I think Cesar would be a welcome addition to your family.

Sounds like he can cook too, 'cause we all know I don't do much of that!

I make very tasty French Toast. My nephew dipped it in Ketchup. Just never know what peeps are going to do.

French Toast ... it's egg, it's bread, there's a frypan involved ... throw in some cheese, and it's darn near grilled cheese. Yup, sounds like it needs ketchup to me.

I "might" have seen this (or something similar) many years ago. Does it also have a somewhat gel substance (i.e. maybe extra fat or whatever to "hold" the ham bits all together)?

This is how we bought it...

King cake is a round shaped cinnamon swirl dough with sugar on top. You can also get it with various fillings. I like cream cheese. There is also a small plastic baby hidden inside each king cake. They're most commonly eaton during Mardi Gras season but you can get them year round. Oh, and I should mention they're delicious.

I just saw a clip from Diver Dan a very strange kids show, why it was considered a kids show is beyond me. Back then there were mandatory Children's Programming laws. This show ran in reruns after school when I was small, hated it. But this fish reminded me of Finding Nemo. Makes you wonder what sparked imaginations of Disney films.

I dont know but it reminds me of that disney movie where a guy gets transformed into an animated fish.

Hubby ordered the home-made chicken tenders and fries. He too did not finish his entire meal. His appetite is still only at 80% from being sick last week.

What kind of sauce did your husband have for his chicken tenders? It's plum something.

 

[seahawk7]

I ate a lot of that as a kid!

I ate a lot of this. It was my favorite.

 

[seahawk7]

thankfully I'm definitively better. the coughing fits are less and less common.
I'm taking a lot of vitamins and supplements.. since its viral, its the only thing I can do.

Elderberry is awesome for respiratory viral infections. I know I've mentioned it before.

And at times that is a nice thing. My folks are both first generation American, before that they were all from Ireland, though my great aunt says one of my igreat grandparents was from England and Protestant which my Grandfather turned purple anytime some said that. Nastiness to my elder relatives to insinuate there is Protestant blood in their Irish Catholic bloodline. We can trace everyone's immigration papers except my Dads mother. My Gran disliked my Mom and my Mom says we can't find her in research because she was really a European Gypsy.
Yep, boring can be calmer. My Mom's family is very colorful. Sooooooo many stories.

My family was all here before 1900. My great grandmother's (maternal grandmother's mother) family originally came to Maryland in the 1600s. They were plantation owners. My dad's side of the family was here By the time of the Revolution, though I don't know specifically which of the colonies they came to.

My dad's aunts used to insist that they were English and only English, not German. Which is funny because although the family came from England, they were German. Then later the English got mixed in. They just anglacized their last name.

So combined I am English, Scottish, Dutch, Irish, German, Native American, French, and Eastern Jewish.

Or, I'm American.

Added some miracle whip, called it Ham Salad! Yum!

AHHHHH!!!!!
Freudian smoking thread slip, methinks.
Although, spell check is the more likely culprit.

Wow I didn't catch that. I don't like spell check sometimes.

 

[seahawk7]

If she was on her tablet gotta hate autocorrect.

See and I called it spell check. I'm so technically immature.

 

[seahawk7]

I never got into that show, but, I definitely loved the movie "Office Space".

I know I remember and I do appreciate you putting up with my ever present Office musings.

But American what? American is your nationality not ethnicity.
