Men's generally preferred foods are cooked outdoors on a grillMike'itecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752500083969187414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955447883042704651.post-40573543530873963872010-05-14T11:00:22.160-10:002010-05-14T11:00:22.160-10:00LOL...this post brought back memories of my teen y...LOL...this post brought back memories of my teen years when my Dad and the other men-folk in our family would take on a look of horror if they were offered quiche. If they were given quiche on their plate, they would take on a look of obvious distaste, then poke at the quiche like they were trying to revive a dead animal and ask, "What's THIS?!!". Needless to say we rarely ate quiche back then but I could never understand why the men thought it was sissy to eat quiche.Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955447883042704651.post-18624744249378025422010-05-14T07:12:10.936-10:002010-05-14T07:12:10.936-10:00As most of us eventually come to understand, your ...As most of us eventually come to understand, your children seemed to have learned early that the stamina required for celebrating major greeting card holidays is procured by starting early with a hearty breakfast, one best prepared by the most experienced cook.<br /><br />As an alternative to a turkey dinner, I'd suggest considering one of the many lovely Spam dishes for the main Mother's Day meal, both for its festive novelty and to help avoid holiday-turkey fatigue syndrome.<br /><br />Condolences to your husband.

Then one of the kids thought I should make a turkey dinner for supper with all the fixin's. My husband didn't make me quiche and therefore won't reap the rewards;-)Perpetual Chocoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536475843763405457noreply@blogger.com
