There was an old episode of That 70’s Show where Kitty Foreman was considering trading her secret to great thanksgiving stuffing for another woman’s prized peach cobbler recipe. Her husband Red had this to say:
So, what’s the one thing of your’s thats better than everyone else’s?
As for me I’d have to say its my music collection. It’s not quite this large, but, it’s bigger and more diverse than any I’ve come across personally. I don’t own a car or my own home, but parties at my place are always well DJ’ed.
My pool cue case: It’s a cool red and black to begin with, but I stitched a Tiki God emblem to the front and painted my nickname in bold graffiti lettering on the back. (All that was due to the fact that one time someone else took my case home by accident. There’s no mistaking it for any other now!)
I initially thought “my cats”, but I know that’s not true because while one is ridiculously pretty and fluffy, she’s also an anti-social bitch cat from Hell. And the other one is a cute little tortie, but seems to be a little stupid and suffers from near-debilitating shyness. I do love them, though!
My husband is the best husband for me. Does that count?
My goulash making skills. I can take whatever I have in the house and make a big frying pan full of yummy goodness. I seem to have a knack for what goes with what.
Also, I have an excellent chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe that I have honed over many years. It is truly magnificent.
I might say my hospitality. My brother says that when people come by I can clap my hands over the stove and create party food for everyone. When my sister was here after fleeing Katrina I literally gave her the shoes off my feet (flipflops). I have an insane knack for making people feel welcome and creating a comfy atmosphere.
My BIL, upon leaving my house after staying for 3 days hiding from Gustav, said, “I give it 5 stars”. Heh.
In the spirit of The Rocketeer’s, this prize quilt my Mom gave me is the best in the world. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s king-sized and hand-quilted and my prize possession.
