Comment on Sitting on the Bubbler by Geakz

Memories don’t fall away, they just resurface when they have cured up nicely. A bit like a crock pot or ’slow cooker’. The college equivalent would be a “swirly” - only it involves a toilet and a Freshman’s head. Blog on!

Comment on Eww. Who Drinks Pepper Water? by TheSnackHound

Yep. That is the “correct” family member.

Moonshine…HA HA. That one made me laugh out loud.

Now that you mention it…I can’t recall if I alluded to it in the “hostage” story, but when we were eating she asked if I wanted to wrap up the dollops of dressing and the tiny pieces of leftover shredded carrots from when I finished my salad. There were like 5 microscopic pieces. Of course, it just is not good etiquette to expect to take a “to go” from an all you can eat situation, nor would you wrap certain things up to sit in the heat in an indefinite car ride.

Oh, but if it has vinegar in it, it never goes bad! Right? LOL.

Comment on You Say Pear-Apple, I say Apple Pear by Geakz

Hmm. You tricked me with the photo, as I would have picked the center fruit. But after you divulged the answer the one on the left definitely has a ‘pear like’ skin tone.
As for me, I would have named it a “Papple”, which is reserved by the Pope, so that won’t work. So that leaves us with Pearple! O.K. That’s solved. Glad I could help.

My guess? This is something she would typically make her own version of a ‘dirty martini’ with (usually with olive juice, but maybe she likes to ‘kick it up’ a notch). Or the Ball Jar-like container gave her moonshine flashbacks.
I would have asked if she wanted in a ‘to-go’ cup. No really. I would have. Blog on!
[Disclaimer: I only made these references after reading your last ‘hostage’ entry. I got the correct family member, right?]

Thanks so much for reading and for the compliment.

Speaking of exhausted, I think I am going to have to give my readers a long break before there is any conclusion written to the story…if ever

Whoa, Nelly. I feel exhausted just reading this, I can imagine how you must have felt!

You are a terrific writer BTW.

And I like your little Betty Crocker at the top. She’s quite a gal, isn’t she?

That’s a good tip about the potato salad. I am going to try that. I assume that it would be dill versus other types?

I think you hit the nail on the head: “In your own home,” and i bet you don’t drink it straight out of the jar and then PUT THE JAR BACK IN THE FRIDGE. And this woman used to have a restaurant, allegedly. She must have ignored what she learned in the food safety course unless she never took it.

I don’t drink the “pepper” water. But have been known to drink my pickle or green olive water. Of course in the comfort of MY own home.

I do use the pickle water in my potato salad dressing….I put mustard, mayonnaise, seasoning, onions and about a 1/2 cup pickle juice in a jar and then shake the jar contents to make the dressing a smoother consistency. Otherwise just adding the mustard and mayo I get lumps and broken up potato’s!! My family has done it this way for years. Works great….

Good luck with your pepper juice sniper!! Aka MIL!! LOL

Comment on But the Buffet was GREAT by TheSnackHound

There are a few restaurants I always have to hit when I am in a few different towns. Maybe that isn’t adventurous because I am not trying “new” things. I guess I like to start with my favorites and go from there.

I didn’t know Betty Crocker was a hottie!
It really is a food sin when you travel to another part of the country and don’t sample the local cuisine. It’s like going to a micro-brewery and ordering a Bud Light.
