FOOD =D and stories....

Who doesn't love food??? I don't have any specific tradition for thanksgiving that we do every year because it is different every year, which i personally LOVE! Changing things up and trying new things and going different places is great! I also LOVE seafood. I enjoy trying new foods and am not a picky eater unless it comes to fast food (=EWWWWW...gag gag gag) but yes oriental and ethinic food is great, and wierd looking food, worth a try in my opinion haha.

Ok, here is my funny food story: My mom is an AMAZING cook. She can make something delicious out of nothing and it will totally be made up last minute. She doesn't measure just throws things together ans BAM! it's magnificent!!! ANYWAYS, the piont is she experiments a lot and 9 out of 10 times it's great, but one time she made these lemon bars. Now I love lemon bars. But let's just say these were in the oven a little bit to long... yeah they looked normal but were hard as rock on one side and sort of, well gooyish...ish. So we were all at the table attempting to eat them politely and my little brother (who was 8 at the time) was becoming frustrated. (We had a guest at the house and were avoiding eating them by carrying on converstaion and my brother wasn't paying attention except to the lemon bar) So because he couldn't bite into it he tried to get another piece out of the pan. He was sturggling to get it out and was using the spatuala to do this. The spatuala was almost bent in half backward when all of the sudden the piece of lemon bar he was attempting to get out came loose and was launched across the dinning room and hit the wall on the opposite side. It splattered all over and he just sat there wide eyed like he couldn't believe what had just happened. My sister and I had been the only ones who saw the whole thing happen and couldn't help ourselves, we burst out with laughter as we all stared at the lemon bar stuck to the wall. Good times... it was funnier seeing it happening then telling of the time. haha

This is another story my mom wants me to write down: (I don't remember it but have heard it several times lol) So all 5 of us kids were really little and sick. I don't know what we had but it was bad enough that our good mom was exhausted taking care of us. My dad had just gotten home (chaotic time of the day) and she was sitting us all down for dinner and doing a million things at once (like mother's do) serving us food, and making food and blah blah blah. Well in the middle of all this she see's that my little brothers nose had been running and in her thoughts makes a mental note to wipe it. SO as she's going around she's doing all these things are remembers that there is a nose to be wiped but sort of wiped the wrong nose. Instead of my little brothers she wiped my dad's! She must have been tired:P My dad says all he could do was look at her and say "Thank you??" lol....

Anyways... anything can happen at the dinner table... especially at my house! Can't wait to see what happens this year... laugh attacks like last year?? We'll see! hahahaha
