I agree, I am not a teetotaler, I've had my share of shady evenings, but, to me a free bar is the same as a free cigarette bar, or a free heroin bar. Alcohol is a drug and as such many have a desire for it. So since alcohol is legal I have no problem with having some available, but, I ain't payin for it. Just me, but, if friends and family cannot spend a few hours together without getting hammered, I'm not interested in supplying the juice.
That's good to hear! Thank you. My brother swears that the chef aimed the zucchini between the eyes, but by that point, he had already made the onion skid across the grill into my soup bowl, which knocked the hot soup in my lap, and then he had dropped the egg, which also went skidding, and somehow managed to bounce up and break open on my glass. Fortunately, the server had just brought a towel to clean up the soup and she watched the egg incident happen and told the chef she was going to tattle to his wife, and she had a new drink in front of me in less than a minute. So the server was really on top of it, but I can't imagine that would be part of the "show" because that would be a liability. If I had been burned by the soup, or my clothes had been ruined, or I was allergic to something, that could have opened them up for a lawsuit. My brother swore it was all a setup, but I just don't think they could do something like that on purpose. But everyone just laughed about it all and the chef didn't seem horrified like I would have been if I had done something like that, so there's just enough doubt in my mind to wonder if that's a normal experience at a hibachi grill. Is that just part of the show? Like the Monsters Inc lauch floor at MK, where they pick someone in the audience and center several jokes about him throughout.
Gargle with salt water. It's gross, but it works wonders on a sore throat. I'm so sorry you are sick right now. Par for the course, but still no fun and definitely not fair with everything else you have on your plate right now. Prayers and pixie dust!Throat is sore, coughing, generally less energy, but so far that's it (knock on wood)
Due to extenuating circumstances, I cannotBut skipping that does sound lovely!!
I never thought of you as cheap, but, judging, just from what you post, I think you... a lot like my oldest daughter, were born about two centuries to late. You don't like doctors, you do everything the hard way, you seem to make only a few allowances for modern technology (i.e. sewing machines, computers) but, even your constant cooking, canning, food preservation is something that would have served you well in the 1700's. Now don't take this as a put down, in many ways it is quite commendable. You might have done the same thing, you never mentioned it that I saw, but my daughter even had three home births with a mid-wife present. I just don't know how you maintain the energy to do it all. Very impressive.I catered the rehearsal dinner for that wedding at a houseHave I ever mentioned how cheap I am?
That, and I know my brother and his friends. If I had had an open bar, I'd be bankrupt by the end of the evening. They are all big drinkers, especially if someone else is footing the bill. I'm not going to tell them they can't drink, but I'm not going to pay for it. (I let my brother invite his friends. They all lived in town, and I knew he would have a much better time if he had some friends there. My family were all really conservative and kind of uptight, and he would have been very uncomfortable in that setting. Plus, I knew them all from various functions, and they were a really fun group of people, and I wanted my wedding to be FUN....I wanted people to dance and really have a great time, and I knew his friends would be out on the dance floor, which would encourage others to do the same. We had a BLAST)
I love what you said. Enjoy your family!
I saw a tv special about that place and all I could think was WOW, bankruptcy court
For @Songbird76 and anyone who wants to make. Very delicious!
That is just beautiful!
Tons of prayers and extra barrel fulls of pixie dust. I hope they get home quickly and safely. We got the rain from the hurricane today.My DH and tons of line trucks are headed to Wilmington this morning. Prayers and pixie dust requested for all please.
Then maybe they should keep them in Ohio.I saw a tv special about that place and all I could think was WOW, bankruptcy court
Considering you didn't read the material, a C is pretty good. Can A skip ballet this week? An extra hour at home will do wonders.
Yes, garlic and onion, but here is the trick. You have to cut the garlic and onion, but it needs to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes for the germ and toxin destroying enzymes to work. When you cook it, it should only be sauteed for 5 minutes. Also you can eat fermented food for the good bacteria in the intestines, so that is fermented sauerkraut and kimchi. @figmentfan423 knows all about that. Got me 3 jars of Bubbies Sauerkraut from Wegman's Friday.
I agree with everything you have said in this post.
