Well I've learned a lot about food the past week...but not in a good way!
(and no, I'm not talking about the beer and omelette I ate...but that was a fun combo)
So, Pan told me about this hilarious Instagram called cookingforbae. Now, these are not for the weak of stomach. These photos are some of the most disgusting vomit-like food products I've ever seen...but the comments make me laugh so hard, I cried.
But as I laughed I couldn't help but wonder, what is a bae??? I had to look it up. Bae. Is a shortened form of Babe, cause, you know that extra B is just too much to say.
Here's a less disgusting photo from cookingforbae.
Oh, so much to learn from this site. I have now added #struggleplate and #struggleslice to my dictionary. You know, a struggle slice is one of those wrapped-up processed cheese products.
In fact, I think in a past-life that stuff was called Government Cheese.
This gov't cheese was mentioned in my new favorite realty TV show-Wahlburgers, and it just began its' second season tonight on A&E. I had caught a couple episodes a few months ago, but thanks to OnDemand TV, I watched the whole series...in two nights. What can I say I was a big fan of NKOTB.
Watching the siblings interact, reminds me so much of my own family. Sure , we didn't have nine kids, but Kate told each of us that we were her favorite child... just like Mama Wahlberg. And my Mom cooked food the same way too. From the sauce, to the chopped suey with noodles and ground beef. the mentioning of English Muffin Pizzas...I couldn't stop thinking about my Mom and her cooking. I was also moved by the competitive nature of the siblings, and the talk of the government cheese.
And this is s a shout out to my family. Over the years I've found that no matter how much we have bickered, fought, competed with each other, when someone tries to mess with any of us, they don't have a chance. I've learned that not every family is like this. In sharing in the grief, I am bonded to my brother and sister in a way I never thought possible. And I love them more than anyone else in the world. I don't know if they realize the extent of that love either. But watching this stupid TV show about a family running a burger place in the Boston area, just reminds me how important family is.
And of course we all know who Kate's favorite was....
