That recipe, of course, is very basic. My favorite addition is a few peeled cloves of garlic, tossed in to boil with the potatoes. Mash 'em up, too. Yummy!
Watch out, woman. I’m lettin’ loose …
Don’t get me started on those @#%#^$$@ TV Dinners! My son really likes the alful stuff, and occasionally I am asked to visit the local Safeway and get a few.
But it is very important to get just the right ones, or the whole lot goes back! Typical Sequence of events:
Sili goes to store, finds frozen food section, and begins to look for the prescribed TV Dinners - Swedish Meatballs by BrandA, Lasagna/BrandA, Chicken Nuggets/BrandB. (Preferably on Sale)
Cannot find Meatballs from BrandA, but do find BrandC - grab two. No Lasagna at all, and one Chicken Nuggets/BrandB
Return home, greeted by loved ones asking about TV Dinners (son want’s to know 'cause he’s hungry now, and wife wants to know if she’s gonna have a head ache 'cause son needs his TV Dinners)
Wife: Did you get 'em?
Sili: Sure.
W:Let’s see
S:Here
W: Wait, this is Meatballs/BrandC, not BrandA. (Louder) How Come You Didn’t get BrandA like I asked?!?!?
S: Well, they onl…
Son: (picks up on wife’s theme) Yeah, I can’t eat those!
W: You KNOW he can’t eat those!
S: Well, I …
W: Did you get him Lasagna?
S: They were all o…
W and Son together: AWwwwww, he didn’t get lasagna!
W (to Son): Look, he got the Chicken!
Son: Yeah, but I want meatballs!
W: You DID get them on sale, right?
S: OK, BURGER KING tonight!!
This happens at least once a week! Damn, fricken Safeway, get the right ones on stock, wouldja?

How old is that son of yours?
How much bigger is he than you?
Hang on, I’ve got to give Kayla a big hug and kiss for being so easy-going.
mmmMMMMMMM! Smooch!
Now it’s off to the pizza store to pick up a sausage and olive with extra cheese for her royal highness.
Bluepony, it’s Danish FIMBOE, not “Bimbo” (though “Bimbo” and “Beaver Cheese” seem to be related concepts).
kaylasdad, he’s got mom on his side, doesn’t have to be big!

Oh thanks, Euty. You just wrecked my day.
And I thought you were such a nice guy.
