Well I just got done watching that Top Chef Show on the Food Network and now I bet those little McCarty Grandbrats are going start wanting those fancy schmancy foods. Just thinking about those Gourmet Goofballs makes me hotter Bobby Flay’s Jambalaya.  

Oh those Epicurean Idiots will be wanting a Steak En Poivre with a Cabernet Reduction Sauce. Fiddle Fooey!! When we were kids all we got was the Swanson TV Dinner with Salisbury Steak, Watery Mashed Potatoes, and you had to peel back the aluminum foil over the Cherry Cobbler so you didn’t burn it. Sure when you ate it, the peas and carrots would be frozen and the gravy would be iced over, but we didn’t care we loved it!!  

And those Bakery Bozos have to have a Sourdough Roll or a Garlic Breadstick with their meal.  When I was little kid, all we got was a piece of White Wonder Bread with Oleo on it.   And if we had steak, my Mom would dip the bread in the grease and give it to us to eat.  Sure she just needed something to sop up the grease so it didn’t clog the drain, but we didn’t care, we loved it!!

And those Dessert Dorks will be eating all kinds of fancy desserts after their meal.  Oh they will have mousse, torts, beignets, and crème brulee. Well La Te Da!! When we were kids, my Dad would bring home two-day old pie from the A&P. And you had a choice of 2 kinds of pie from the A&P. You could have a yummy Dutch Apple Pie or you got nothing! Sure with 8 kids and 2 parents, everybody got about a 1” sliver of pie.  But we didn’t care, we were happy with what we had.    

So you can pamper your rotten kids with all kinds of fancy foods but I am gonna make my kids an old fashioned meal. The next meal that Kathlene makes, I’m gonna put some aluminum foil over it and put it in the freezer until it is solid as a rock. Then I’m gonna throw it the oven for 10 minutes and then peel that aluminum foil off with a fork.  Then they can have a piece of stale grease bread and a piece of rancid Apple Pie.   Bon Appetite!!
