Because Frank is deaf, he could not take part in the family language Lingo that so many of us have.

Small kids often mispronounce words and for some reason the words stick within the family.

Meatlove for meat loaf
Busketi for spaghetti
Hoppie- do for Hospital

The letter L is tricky, remember that the Japanese had a devil of a time pronouncing that letter and our code Little LULU was often used to out the enemy.

Then accents, some put the Em- phi-sis on the wrong Sy-lab-al.

Then the old," How you be, I be fine,"  is a staple in our family.    Substuting the Am for Be, sort of a pig Latin of kinds.

Some family reunions are a bit of a problem for new to the family.  The old misspronounced words are the glue that helps stick the family together.

 A brother and sister that had not seen each other in years finally got together and the sister who was called Vell was met by brother who called her Bell as he as older brother could not pronounce the V  as a 5 year old  caused his sister to break into tears.

Betcha we could all write a book on the quirks that come with being around kids as they attempt to learn how to wrap their teeth and tongue about their mouth to imitate the spoken words of Adults.

BTW, to this day I still call Orange Juice as Orange Shoes.   Childhood is so very short and precious, this is one way out side of pictures to keep the joy alive with memories of their childhood.  The now adult who hears parents and siblings using the words they themselves mispronounced as a child insures that they have not been forgotten.

Pan-fried trout that my pop caught in Greer (or somewhere in that area--can't remember exactly). And some steamed veggies.

I have an easy way to reheat cooked meat that won't turn it to rubber... wrap it in foil and put it in a preheated 150º oven for 20-25 minutes.  It comes out pretty good.  If you have other leftovers, you can probably just toss everything into the oven and leave it for half an hour.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

A little bit of round steak, didn't know how thin it was till it was thawed.  Quick slice and chop with a quick saute and we have ourselves some carne asada tacos!

Too damn hot to eat much of anything.

I ended up making up a couple of pounds ground chuck into taco meat, and the guys have been making soft tacos with it for two days. I had a taco salad last night.

Guess I better come up with something else today. When it's 100+ outside, I just don't care.... :runaway:
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

We've been making ground turkey tacos. I love the damn things, much "lighter" than beef in this heat.

Sammy from Sprout's Deli. Turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, sprouts, easy mayo, salt & pepper on multigrain wheat. And some Pirate's Booty.  :-)

When it's 115 effing degrees outside, that's the best I'm going to do.

I know, how come you all aren't slaving over a hot stove???   :hammer: 

Leftovers from today's lunch out.  Husband's birthday, we took his kids out for lunch, I got a Reuben and half went home.  Done.

I'm doing easy stuff this week like pork chops and chicken.  Throw a couple of potatoes in the oven and sit in the couch for an hour.  That's my recipe.

Starch

My great grandma used to make the following recipe  Chicken which I have cooked in a crockpot, shredded, added chicken broth and a ton of Reames frozen noodles. Serve it over mashed potatoes. It is the ultimate comfort food.

I used to make homemade noodles. I used the same recipe my great grandma used to make, as did my grandma and mom but Reames frozen noodles are great so I use them, rarely do I make homemade anymore.



I was really upset when I moved to CA and they didn't carry Reames frozen noodles, commie bastard California.
