Paige, I don't want to incur your wrath but do you have any brownies left? :)

Can I at least have a couple of cocktails first, Paige ??

You forgot to say please, so it's gonna cost you even more.  These are called Painkillers:

Line 'em up then.

 Growing up I wasn't forced to eat everything, but if there was something new on my plate, I had to try a bite. If I didn't like it, that was fine but I wasn't allowed to out right say no without trying it.  As an adult I will not eat seafood.. I won't. I had so much of it growing up that I can not stand the smell of it anymore. LOL

Bwahahaha!  Every hear the phrase "that's like the pot calling the kettle black" ?  You walked right into that one, Tina. lol

 I grew up in an eat what's made or make your own damn dinner house. Consequently, I can make a pretty good meal out of ramen noodles (add a bit of left over chicken, plus a handful of frozen veggies, and you have something worthwhile). Actually, I can make a lot better stuff than that. My older sister didn't make her own as much as I did, and she can't cook anything with too much complication. She can do a fine job of the throwing stuff into ramen, but I'd question a lasagna she made. My younger sister got McDonalds if she didn't like the food. She's a whole different story, since all the standards were different for her. That whole bit pisses me off too much to discuss.

Something that is actually annoying, I have a friend whose mother will basically micromanage the kitchen if my friend cooks anything. It irritates the crap out of me if I'm there and we're making anything. Usually, we'll just do it at my house because we don't want to deal with her mother micromanaging. Recently, we made cupcakes, and her mom was hovering over the entire time. My friend's mom has never made a cupcake in her life. They have lived in a America for I think 17 or 18 years. I've been baking cupcakes since before they came to this country. We've never set the kitchen on fire, or had any other sort of mishap. After this, I told my friend, if I should ever say I don't want to do it at my house, just remind me that her mom will be there. As much as I hate the cleaning that is required before cooking anything at my house, because my mom is a slob, her mom micromanaging everything is far worse than any pots that may need scrubbing.

Can we have a regular brownie, and I'll eat the middle?

The voice of my experience. Thanks for making sure everyone now knows I'm a little on the edge myself.

 I'm watching the news, and the first story is one of a mother killing herself and her young son. She lost custody of the kid back in 2010 and just got him back 4 months ago. I love the friends saying she was a good mother... the same friends who said she was doing drugs. That's definitely the hallmark of a good mother.

Here's the story. Reminder, it's about a kid being killed, so don't click if you don't want to see that.

I was pretty "chubby" when I was younger and I have an aunt who loves to tell everyone how my sister (skinny) was picky "but not Cathy - she'd eat anything" I haven't changed much at all. So, pass me a brownie with edges or without and I'll take a pain killer to wash it down with

Paige I love the brownie pan...corners are the best ever.  One of the girls at work started in with the Brownies last thursday and I have resisted and now......I dont think I can take any more brownie talk....I am gonna break....getting weaker and weaker.....MUST HAVE BROWNIES!!!!

LOL, You guys have been crackin me up this afternoon.  Paige you just point out who is messin with you and all us brownie starved menopausal women will take care of them....Deb will bring the refreshments and the 2x4

 OMG you ladies (term used loosely) are hysterical today!

Thanks!

My parents grew up in the Depression and yep, I also got the "poor starving children in China" business.  I truly wasn't being a smart *** when I said they could have mine...I really did want to share.  ALL four of us girls were pudgy, but, we were given huge meals, heavy on taters and starches, and veggies that were home canned and cooked within an inch of their lives.  But, in Moms defense, that was how SHE grew up.

I never made my boys clean their plates, or force them to eat something they hated, but I did encourage them to give new foods a chance.  I also think that watching the example that DH set when I encouraged HIM to try things he'd always refused to eat (cuz momma would make something else for him) and he realized that the stuff he'd always avoided could actually be good.

I *think* I've told the story before of Mike at a Red Lobster when he was in first grade asking the waitress what kind of veggies they had, and then shocking her even further when she listed off the desserts and he asked if they didn't have any FRUIT!

But, Lisa, I would certainly never judge anyone who has a problem eater.  My two weren't fond of veggies when the jerk was still around and all veggies needed to be served in puddles of cheese sauce. .  Mike took many years to embrace beef...he liked pork, chicken, turkey and fish, but not beef.  But, I always cooked around their likes and dislikes so slap me for being a permissive mom!  Oye!  For about 3 years Ryan LOVED liver and onions and brussel sprouts.  GAG!!  But, for his brothers sake he always requested that I buy FRESH sprouts since Mike hated those somewhat less.

How is that so different than wrapping our dogs meds in cheese if we give our children meds camoed in a food we know they'll eat?

When you wake up from a dream that someone has shot you in the head and your waking life is even worse, it's a craptastic day.  Like I said, 3-day Obed & Rally show plus CGC & AKC Responsible Dog Ownership 2 of those days in a week.  One of the 3 judges pulls out the day the show closes, so scramble to find a new judge and incur additional expenses (flights, car rental, etc.)  I don't have enough bodies to man all the battle stations, I'm in charge of the whole thing, and I worry about things going off smoothly with this many moving parts... and someone wants to whine at me about their needs that weekend.  They're gonna get a slap.  And I'm gonna enjoy it.  With a Painkiller and edge brownies.  Cuz I already got laid and that isn't helping.

"Family forum" be darned today.
