As background, you have to know that “beeyoop” was my dad’s jokey kid’s word for “fart.” Once my sister and I went away to camp for multiple weeks. At our first dinner back, our littlest sister, who had been too young to go, asked Dad to “please pass the beeyoops.”
Dad handed her the bowl of pork and beans. My sister and I looked at each other. Then my sister said, “we obviously left her alone with him too long.”
My recipe for rice pudding was hand-written by my mother, who copied what her mom had written for her, which was a copy of her recipe which came from her mother-in-law (my mom’s paternal grandmother).
It mentions that the cook may decided to put raisins in the rice pudding, but the kids (my maternal grandfather and his sisters) don’t like bugs in their rice pudding.
If there’s any sort of sauce (for example, gravy) on the table, my dad’s friend will ask if anybody wants spooge with their food.
Great minds. My partner makes a delicious dish with eggplant, tomatoes, pine nuts, etc. that she made up herself. We couldn’t identify what category it was - thicker than a sauce, sorta stew-ish.
We said Dunkin’ Eggs because we dunked our toast in the runny yolks. We also had what we called Dirty Eggs. Those were also dunkin’ eggs but were cooked in the bacon grease so they had the tiny bits of bacon and whatever else is left behind in the bacon grease.
