Can a fruit really fall far from its tree? I don't know...i guess if the wind's blowing hard it could, depends on the fruit?

Me thinks she has a screw or two loose. Perhaps the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, though one could hope. Yikes! I don't envy you that ride home.

Now, the good thing is that when she has these tantrums she tends to burn herself out and by the time we head home she's a happy camper again. But,I don't think the boss will put up with it much more nor should she.
Well, tonight I decided to make myself some satayed oysters for dinner, served with fried rice and garlic stems. My kids aren't with me and they hate oysters so tonight is the night! It occurred to me while I was shopping at the Chinese grocery store that not only did I lose a marriage I also lost a culture. For 17 years I was surrounded by Chinese culture, I cooked Chinese food, shopped at Chinese stores, many of our friends were Chinese and now it's all different. My kids don't like Chinese food and I'm used to making it for a family so I don't make it often when I'm by myself. At work, for laughs, I still throw out some Chinese words and phrases to make my Chinese clients giggle but I've lost some of my understanding and ability to speak (very poorly) the language. I can't remember phrases. One of my Dbing moves was to learn to cook Chinese and, although I thought it would be really hard, I learned to cook over fifty Chinese dishes. My wife worked later than I did so I usually did the cooking during the week. Now, I throw on a burger and top it with cooked spinach, that's a gourmet meal! Anyway, off to the kitchen to do the Oysters.
Sauted oysters?? Really??? Chinese and I aren't the best of friends. My dad used to tell me I was eating worms and bugs. Still have a hard time with some of it. Ice cream...hard to go wrong there.

No, Satayed Oysters, or to put it another way, Oysters sauteed in Satay sauce. Btw, the Chinese have Ginger Ice Cream, Green Tea Ice Cream, Red Bean Ice Cream...just to name a few. Now a history of Ice cream: "The first concoction resembling ice cream was made in China during the Tang period (A.D. 618 to 907). Ice-cream makers for King Tang of Shang heated buffalo, cow, and goat milk together and then fermented the brew to form yogurt. They thickened the yogurt with flour and flavored it with camphor (an insect repellant, of all things). Refrigerating first, they served the confection to the king."
Lol. Maybe it was build up of all that ice cream. Kids weren't too happy with dinner . They have to remember that I am not a restaurant making 4 different things.

Should have gone with the Satayed Oysters, something they could all agree on...YUCH!!! Ever tried sweet potato fries? My kids love em. I gotta go to bed now and read my new book on Abandonment that BBj recommended. It'll make for some really swell dreams.
