I love pot roast also... ...Really once you do all the prep work, cutting the veggies, and wrapping the roast up with the onio soup mix...once thats done, it just needs to roast in the oven, or in my case, I use a Nesco roaster...I love pot roast that roast along with onions, potatoes, carrots, and celery...and with that, tada, here comes story...

When I was working while in school, I was asked to work overtime...so I called my mom, and told her I would be two hours late coming home, just so she would not worry...

Now, I knew she would inform my brother, and dad of this, and they all knew to leave some of moms dinner for me, for when I got home...

I arrived home, very hungry, and went into the kitchen...found out we were having pot roast with all the fixings...well, the meat, carrots, potatoes, and celery were there, but NO nicely browned onions...moms onions that she cooked with the post roast were the best and delicious...pot roast without browned whole onions was not the same...

I screamed out loud "Who ate all the onions?" Well, poor dad, he knew he was the culprit, he ate every last onion...he looked to very sad, tho, to realize he had made me so unhappy...he asked mom, if couldnt she make some more...well, you just cannot whip up a long roasted brown onion, in a few minutes..So I had to have my pot roast with no onions, and boy was I mad....

Poor dad, he really did suffer for that...At our meals, Dad was always served first, then us kids, and then mom took hers...so the next time mom made pot roast, dad got his serving, and apparently did not take any of the browned onions...then us kids got our food, and mom got hers...after we had all served ourselves, Dad looked into the pot, to see if there were any onions left, and, there were of course, so he tapped me, and asked me if it was okay for him to take some onions...He did not forget how angry he had made his little girl, and it was really pitiful to hear him ask me, if he could have some onions...

He never,ever forgot the incident, nor lived it down with the rest of the family...a few weeks before he died, while I was caring for him, he looked at me, and sick as he was, grinned, and asked me, did I remember the time he ate all the onions, and how I screamed so...

I had not thought of that story in a long time, but talking about pot roast brought it back to me...what fun...

you are sweet loddy
lol we own the house
the field mice from outside moved into oven one winter (after we had stopped using oven for few years)
finally Bill decided to scrub it and get rid of mice
he tried it once after that, and said it smelt funny
but burners work perfectly so we cook on them
my serious cookin' days are over, so I don't care
lol I cooked so much in tiny tenement kitchen which had no counterspace at all
now that I have nice kitchen I just snack

[palo verde]

your dad has kind heart andysmom
he wanted to see you happy
you musta made big scream when there were no browny onions left for you

[palo verde]

thanks habs
you came up with good idea for me

[habs4ever]

The guilt over eating the onions!!LOL.....it could replace "Rosebud" as a dying man's famous last words..."Onions".....

[habs4ever]

Your welcome, though we both know you'll be having peanut butter tomorrow ;-)

I was a screaming kid...one time, on a vacation trip, dad remembered, about four hours into driving on the freeway, he heard my blood curdling scream from the back of the car...he thought something awful had happened, like maybe my brother socked me, or a bee flew in the car and stung me...he pulled the car over real quick and asked me what was the matter...I said,"Oh, I forgot my eyelash curler at home"(You know I just had to look beautiful on all vacation trips, and curly lashes were required)...

Poor dad, just rolled his eyes, and said he thought he could afford to buy me a new one, when we found a drugstore...Then I heard him mutter..."Damn goofy kid"...

g'evening guys, girls, fellow wanderers of the netwaves.

Nothing much to state here, except maybe an annoying catbird that is heckling the indoor-outdoor cat NiMH. Gutsy little bird too. Screeching away less than two foot from the cat like he weas immortal or something. NiMH cat was less than impressed and yawned at the bird. (!!) The bird was apparently insulted by this and left.

Guide was breathing hard, he and Isabella had just run what amounted to a marathon to get away from some gang members that Isabella had 'dissed'.
"That's the first time I've ever vaulted over a moving car. Remind me not to do that again." Guide gurbeled between breaths. Isabella laughed. Then she stopped and loked closer at Guides' duster. She poked a finger through a hole and looked at him meaningfully. He looked down and frowned. How to explain that one...
"You can't fool me, that's a bullet hole through your jacket. How did you do that one?" she tapped her foot. He wasn't..? Was he?

He caught what she was thinking. She was right, and might freak about it. Only way to find out is to face it.
"Yes. I am. Remember that accident I had?" he stared at her. She remembered. Then she caught her hand to her throat. He'd died? How was he here then? And how did he know..?
"I work for the One. I'm supposed to help those who need it. Come with me, I'll show you." he held out his hand. She wavered. Then took his hand. They were on the way. She would do fine.

/WHAT!! Crouton is better???? I DON'T WANT THE LIBERAL PARTY TO WIN ANYTHING. AND ESPECIALLY NOT WITH THAT CREEP REPRESENTING US ANY LONGER. He is SUCH an embarrassment Habs. I don't care about Martin either but we have had enough of this ugly dictator

[palo verde]

fofl yes I remember it took some doin' figurin' out how to post
ac made thread for us to all be together

the canadian posters were wonderful to us
we were sorry to leave them when FR went back up

of course our WW11 vet disgraced us by posting pic of himself in his underwear up in canada
next time we return we'll pretend we don't know him

[palo verde]

The Un'nions had planned an invasion of Ea'rth. But first they needed a staging point that would nourish their floral bodies. They chose an insignificant black dirt community in southern New York that suited their needs, then the invasion began...

At first, no-one noticed the bulbous invaders resting in the dirt. Awaiting the signal from Tan-en-baum, their leader, to awake and begin converting the native species to fertilizer. One by one, the farmers disappeared. But then, Ortho came up with a better nutrient for the native bulbs.... And the Un'nions became overfed and went comatose. And the Orthos were the only ones who knew about the invaders..... and smiled as they ate their hamburgers with onions....

[Canadian Outrage]

Which WW2 vet? - Westy?? fofl. As far as them being friendly on FD - Conservatives EVERYWHERE are generally good people!!
