You are loser enough to solicit people to go to lunch with on the internet
in NEW YORK CITY?

I'm betting you end up sodomized, disemboweled and quartered in a west side
dumpster.

Have a nice day and enjoy life,

Dear Michael, I did not see any posts today, because I put on my anti
virus scan (my daughter had told me to watch out for a new virus) and
by mistake, I deleted all the posts on rfc.

Could you, please, send me a copy of the post? Just in case I am one
of the posters you want to meet. Or are you only interested in
sodomizers, disembowelers and quarterers? In that case, I will have
to introduce you to Marcel. )

My Dear, You have not met him. A dangerous rogue, I must say. You
would not laugh if were to meet him. Just ask any of the guys who did
make his acquaintance. Sue, Sheryl, Barbara, Fred, Stan, Boron et
al, what is you opinion?

Marcel is peerless in disemboweling. He used to teach the subject at a
very famous (too famous to be named here,) military academy in
Leipzig.

Special Eggs For Super Bowl Brunch


Eggs In Sour Cream, from Austrian Cooking For You.


1 cup Sour Cream

1 teaspoon chopped parsley

1 teaspoon chopped chives

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon unflavored fresh breadcrumbs

10 eggs

Into a fireproof dish pour the cup of sour cream. The dish should be
large enough to hold the ten eggs. Carefully slip each raw egg into
the dish with the sour cream. Sprinkle the chives and parsley over
the eggs, then the breadcrumbs on top. Melt the butter and drizzle it
over the breadcrumbs. Put the dish into a hot oven and bake until the
eggs are set and a brown crust has formed.

Serve with ham, bacon or breakfast sausages on the side

Allow either one or two eggs per portion.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday

Well, this was a pretty hilarious segue to a thread - the Wolf person
has been a troll for a while now, but you guys are way out of his
weight class! You rock!

See you NYC RFCers next month! Looks like the West Village for
lunch/brunch, if Jack Schidt can score a place that'll have us.

Margaret - are you *sure* you and Marcel can't make it?? And your
reply to Wolf was absolutely hilarious.

And as for my take on Marcel: "courtly" comes to mind.

My opinion of Saint Marcel? Why, he is totally charming. Saintly. I
love him. As patient a man I've ever met. He tolerates your mothering
andis gentlemanly in all respects. And he makes a fine Bloody Mary.
What's not to love?

Marcel introduced himself to me via a bloody mary which put the happy face
on this reporter. For the record, I don't want to meet a person who's like
character in a 'G' rated movie, gladhanding everyone right off the bat, you
get the picture. No no, I like the guy in an 'R' movie, where you're not so
sure at the beginning, but by the end he's your pal. All kidding aside,
Marcel's a character, one of the good ones. As for S, D and Q.....hey, I
don't ask, don't tell.

If you'll recall, my lovely and talented daughter lives in Brooklyn
and the DH has become obsessed (read: demented) about getting and
maintaining Elite status with Continental, so that when we go to New
Zealand next summer, we get upgraded and don't have to sit in steerage

If you don't adore being a grandmother as soon as
that child was born, you'll be the first person I
ever knew who didn't adore it. (Ask Barb and Dimitri
how much fun it can be.)

If it's the age thing that bothers you, remember you
don't have to be old to be a grandparent--I know
people in their late 30's who have had the title
foist upon them (not that I'd advise it that young!)
Of course Barb, Dimitri and I waited till we were
-ahem- mature before we took on the responsibility
of the title.

I hope you enjoy your trip and have better weather
than they've had there this week.

New Zealand, eh? See my note about Waha Wera hotsauce and remember any
jam I've ever given you. I'm calling in my chips, Girlie. I'm not
especially a hot sauce freak but that stuff is dang fine. Are you sure
you can't go sooner?

You pussy! My recollection is that it's a 13-hour flight from LAX to
Auckland, maybe 12 hours.

So why aren't you in St. Paul for the Winter Carnival? Nice weather for
it. (-20 by morning).

The fun's about to begin. Believe it. Be nice to his wife. She will
control access to The Little Bundle.

Congratulations Terry!!!!

A good friend of mine became a G'ma at age 28 (!!!)... so age
doesn't have anything to do with the title. LOL My Mom
(technically an ex-step mom... it's complicated <G>) feel too
young for the title too - so she is the kids' "Mimi". Of course,
that could just be a "southern thang"... but feel free to share
her new name for the title if you'd like.

Hugs and congrats again! April babies are best! They have great
dispositions and are born before Mother's Day which makes things
extra special. I know, I have one. <giggle>

<snarl!> "Granny"? Aaaauugghhh!!! Eggsackly how far would you like
your butt kicked, bub?

Seriously, thanks for all the good wishes. The baby's due date is Feb.
29, which would be pretty cool - I'd only have to buy birthday
presents every 4 years <g> And they're naming him after my father,
which news just made me beam.

And the DH's 2 grandkids call me "Nana T," which I find preferable to
"grandmuhuhuh..." the "G" word. I have an old friend whose grandkids
were trained to refer to him as "the ancestor." Shortly became
"Annie," which has been *such* an inside joke!

Oh, I know that I'll just adore the baby on sight. It's the "G" word I
have trouble with!

As for Barb, I believe her exact words to me were, "Oh, pishtosh! Get
over it!" She's always been the very *soul* of tact and comfort :-p~~~

Well, Barb isn't called Grandma, she's called "Baba", which is the Slovack
word for it. Whatever your heritage is, why not use that word for Grandma?

In our family, we called my mom's sisters "Aunt (whoever)" but my
grandparents' sisters were called by the yiddish word for aunt, which is the
same as the french, oddly enough--Tante. So our great-aunts were "tantie
(whoever)". I suppose if we had great-grandparents they would have been
"Bubbie" and "Zaydie". Alas, I never knew my great-grandparents. I barely
knew my grandparents, but that's another story.

We all need to start having our children at a younger age... ;-)
I only knew my great gramma, on daddie's side, a wunnderful Swedish
immmigrant, for a couple of years before she died. <sigh>

Now there was a woman that knew how to cook wild asparagus, and on a
wood stove no less!

I have one young Goddaughter, and was asked what I wanted to be called
when the baby started to talk and when her mother talked to her about me.

She is younger than my own grandchildren and I said that she should
call my "Grandma" or something like this, but even though she has no
grandparents, her mother did not think it was appropriate.

My husband, who was her Godfather, suggested Omi and Opa (Oh-me and
Oh-pa), the preferred German names for grandparents.

Dyandria will be fifteen in April and she still calls me Omi. )

For tomorrow, I bought Melba-sliced seeded rye bread, brushed some of
the slices with melted butter, sprinkled grated Parmesan cheese over
them and the bread is in the oven right now, with a wonderful cheesy
fragrance filling the whole apartment.

I may make some garlic toasts, too.

When the bread slices are starting to brown and the cheese has melted,
the parmesan toasts will be done and I will serve them tomorrow with
wine. Only Marcel is invited, so there will be plenty for us. )

I will open a strong wine, Shiraz most likely.

One of my daughters boyfriends had a cute nickname for his grandparents,
honey and pop. I told my daughter when she had babies I wanted them to call
me grandma honey. Well she has 2 children now and they aren't calling me
that, so it's up for dibs!

I love being the grandma. It's sooooooooooooooo much fun. And when my
grandson was born he looked so much like my daughter that it was a total
deja vu. They were not living where I do when he was born, but moved down
here and I was present when my granddaughter was born. A trip and a half,
and I'll never forget it.

Have fun with it, grandma honey.
