One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for March 25, 2014

You’d think adults would have learned that, by now… never let ‘em see it coming…. – I guess that’s why it’s called “Tuna Surprise”, "Meatloaf Surprise, “Fill in the blank Surprise”, etc….

We called it cold food, because our mom would make us seat at the table until we ate it. I once held until midnight. Five whole hours.

Practicin’ to be Calvin

-Except for those of us who really aren’t morning folks!

Ruthie’s reaction is why so many of those cooking shows on the ‘Food’ channel keep telling the chefs to pay attention to what the food looks like, too

My mother’s cooking was the worst; Brother and I stuffed a lot in the hollow legs of the kitchen table.

I LOVE waking in the morning, but I realize many do not.

Reminds me of how my brother used to act about certain kinds of food. It sometimes almost seemed as if taste was beside the point; if it looked ‘wrong,’ he wanted nothing to do with it.
