THanks!
You know we don't condone that.
Next you're going to tell me that he doesn't like pie.
DOH!
A. You don't know what food REALLY tastes like unless you put in a few habaneros.
2. You canNOT eat everything separately. You have to take a bite of your meat, potatoes, vegetable (or whatever mixture) in even bites. And then repeat until done. You canNOT eat your meat. then your potatoes. then your veggies. That's blasphemy!
D. I know he don't like pie. And if you don't eat mom's rhubarb pie, you ain't part of the family. OR I get your piece, one of the two.
A. You're not the one who will be on fire and burning when when those peppers go in and come out. I ain't drinking a gallon of water or sitting in a bucket of ice water.
2. Don't make me eat things THAT way...or you can be the one to clean it up when my taste buds revolt. I eat all of my veggies...then my taters...then the meat. And don't make me drown whatever meat it is in ketchup.
D. Don't you be messin' wiff my pie, unless it's got rhubarb in it...then you CAN have mine. And here you want me to adopt you as my lil sis. Lil brat maybe. Shan loves me more anyway, so there! :-P
Thanks for the great comments (and arguments)!
First and foremost, water will only increase the burn. You'll want to drink milk if you can't take the heat. But then again, if you can't take the heat, get yo ass out the kitchen. You might also want to use a snow cone on your ass. Usually it fills all the parts that need it most.
Secondly, eating that way is revolting. Food is not meant to be ate separate. It is meant to eat so you savor ALL of the flavors.
And lastly (and most importantly) Rhubarb pie is the only pie there is. 'Nuff said.
Lil Brat huh? We'll see about that one.
Where is Apple this morning?
