No, I am not talking about Hick on this, our 32nd wedding anniversary. Although I'm pretty sure HE loves me, too.
This title actually refers to Genius. And I think I mis-typed, because more accurately, I'd say Genius loves MY THANKSGIVING FOODS. He won't be joining us tomorrow. He's making his own feast in Pittsburgh. And in doing such, HE NEEDS MY RECIPES!
I found out by text when I was parking at Country Mart, to pick up a couple last-minute items.
"Can you send me recipes for your bacon wrapped green beans and your potato salad?"
"Later tonight? I'm in town, getting rum and cheesecake and my magical elixir."
"Sure."
Two hours later, I sent him that detailed information by text. From memory. I could have typed it up and sent as an email attachment. But that would have been more trouble. I DID find a printout of the basics for the green beans. So I sent a picture, and then typed in my changes.
Three and a half hours later, I had a THANK YOU!
Funny how Genius didn't ask for my deviled egg recipe. He loves them. I guess they're too much trouble to make.
SWMBO had hard boiled some eggs for deviled eggs. She was tapping the eggs on the side of the sink when I said I always heard you could just roll them on the counter with your hand and demonstrated. My egg collapsed and I was roundly criticized. But later when she had all the shells off the eggs were mottled and worthless. She made egg salad with them. I ate it and never said a word.
ReplyDeleteI guess you don't know your own strength!
DeleteYou have to tap and THEN roll the eggs. If only you two could have acted like Jack Sprat and wife, you would have balanced out the egg-peeling. That said, I had a bad egg day myself...
So I guess the name of this dish was The New Traditional Thanksgiving Eve Egg Salad.

PROOF that gluttonous BLOGGER is binging again! I don't know why it's started doubling up lately.
DeleteAha! BLOGGER took my first comment and put it last, after I had edited a "t" off "Sprat." Something is amiss in the gears and sprockets of BLOGGER.
DeleteHe is lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteI think BOTH HEs are lucky to have me! Though Hick might disagree. Especially during our nightly "This is the time when we talk about the most recent thing you've done wrong" hour.
DeleteHe is a genius, he can probably figure out the correct amount of mayo to add to smashed up yolk.
ReplyDeleteThough I am sure he can not do it as well as you.
Of course he can't! There's more to a deviled egg than mayo and yolk!
DeleteA thank you! Wow. And you're right about the devilled eggs. Waaaay too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteYou ain't a-woofin'! I spent two hours on them today.
DeleteHappy anniversary to you two. Any paranormal activity of late?
ReplyDeleteThanks. Only one sound of something falling in the living room (nothing amiss) while I was in the kitchen cooking on Wednesday. I suppose an invisible guest might have been impatient. The only other unusual thing was a dream of my dad standing in the kitchen.
