OK.
I didn't cook any cookies on Saturday ...
BECAUSE ...
on Saturday,
Sister Dear and Brother-In-Law Hawthorne
came to visit.
And I always love their visits.
Here's Brother-In-Law-Hawthorne, or Amos, as we call him,
who wants to be known in my blog as
"Trouser Snake."
Don't ask me why.
Upon arriving at my home,
"Trouser Snake" immediately asked me,
"Do you have a thermostat?"
He's like an old woman.
Always cold.
I said, "No, I have no thermostat."
So I gave Trouser Snake
my sheepskin,
which he kept wrapped around him.
So, after a while,
Trouser Snake went to my comfy chair
to relax and watch TV.
But Trouser Snake's head was cold.
Tossed it all together.
After heating up,
I poured the veggies out
into a covered bowl.
Next, I started sauteeing the shrimp.
Then added everything together.
After putting the melted butter on the oysters,
I sprinkled a combo of parmesan cheese,
hot paprika, and sugar over top.
Ooh. Oohh.
I love oysters.
Now, back to Trouser Snake.
He wants to sue all the Hawthorne Women,
because he says we're stupid bitches.
He wants a class action suit.
He mentioned cruel and unusual punishment,
emotional damage, collateral damage.
And some other crap.
Gee, Trouser Snake,
come after me.
I think I can take your ass on -
blindfolded and with one hand tied behind my back.
You silly little man.
Gosh.
Don't mess with Rosie.
When will they learn?
And what particular instances did TS cite as evidence for his grievance?
ReplyDeleteHe's compiling a list of egregious offenses.
ReplyDeleteOK, so I've never had an oyster. Sue me. But my question is, dear Rosie, does one slurp the whole thing down, or chew it to savor it? I need to know just in case I ever run into an oyster. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFirst, let me say, oysters ain't bubblegum.
ReplyDeleteBite into them to release the flavor and just let it slide down your throat.
Kelley, I always chew them a tiny bit. Especially if they're fried.
If it's raw, I don't chew as much. Put some lemon juice on it, and have it cold. I like the feel of it in my mouth and I savor it.
Minimal mastication. Give it a few squeezes, then let it glide on down.
