    Even though we goof around, discuss, diss, whatever have you, I want to address something serious…. – I know that we’re all adults, and big boys and girls, here, but….. please be safe and careful. Not just in personal safety, but if we can, please watch out for others, as well… – During this holiday weekend, whether in our travels, or enjoying “adult beverages” or what have you, hope we can all be careful, be safe… and enjoy the weekend, everybody! ….

    Hopefully Brad’s just doing the “Typical Guy, thing” to amuse and actually has everything “ready-to-go”

    OR,

    TJ’s got the “Real Dinner” going back at their House, and will be delivering it any minute now!

    It’s not that he doesn’t know WHAT an Onion is, he doesn’t know WHERE one might find one. And, Toni is now getting an object lesson on the cluelessness of males who’ve lived with parents, then TJ. Moms are usually good cooks, and TJ’s a professional.

    Time to rush over to the nearest large grocery mart, where the deli section will almost certainly have full Thanksgiving turkey feasts on sale for $40-$80, depending on what’s included and how big the bird…. Brad is utterly clueless about cooking, I’m afraid (and surprised, as firemen usually learn something about cooking at the firehouse).

    Last week, Nancy had cans and things in her hand, with the pantry door open, while she was “telling Luann what it was and wasn’t going to be like” for her plans during their trip… wonder if she was putting away, or taking out, in preparation?… – If she was putting stuff away, it could just be that Brad doesn’t like the “opening and preparing” part of the cooking process (chips and olives would equal less fuss, less time… the signs of the stereotype of a bachelor)… – -If she was taking away things to contribute to cooking somewhere else, some things wouldn’t be there, but some things should still be… – I would think that it was a combination of both, that she put stuff in there, and took stuff out… and that Brad is not the “hunter and gatherer” type, or the “renaissance man” type, who ventures in the culinary arts (though it does seem ironic that he knows his way around the rest of the house, but not the kitchen)….

    Yeah, maybe wih TJ out of the way and just the two of them in a domestic situation by themselves, maybe they will find that they don’t know each other nearly so well as they had assumed they did. The recent strip where they each have very different mental images of their married life together shows how little they have actually discussed the things that marriages are built on.

    Cooking in the nude is not such a good idea. That’s the voice of applied education speaking. At least wear an apron; nudity and hot cooking oil (or steam) don’t mix.

    Actually, I’ve found that Firemen, GENTLEMEN and LADIES, tend to be teriffic cooks as they learn from each other in-between calls and are subject to INTENSE criticism from their fellow “Hose Jockeys.”

    It’s been described as being somewhat similar to the fameous scene in “The Godfather” when Clemenza is teaching “Mikey” how to cook for forty Guys.

    Learned the hard way, and reinforced by people you KNOW you’ll have to depend on, you DON’T want to screw it up!

    When I was in high school we had an open campus, so I used to come home for lunch. My Mom always had him on the T. V. He was pretty funny, and I remember almost everything he made started with ‘clarified butter.’ When I talked to him at The Plumbery, he had just released his “Minimax” cookbook promoting healthy eating. I told him that I never heard him say “clarified butter” anymore, so he laughed and wrote in my book,"To my friend, Chris – I won’t say clarified butter, but I will write it for you. “Clarified Butter” All the Best and love, Graham Kerr

    That, and he no longer has that “short slurp” he used to during each commercial break. Both he and his wife became “born-again” Christians, IIRC, and no longer drink alcohol. They use “De-alcoholized” wine in their recipes and, in some of Kerr’s later broadcasts, he would say, “It’s your choice.”

    Apparently, Kerr is still alive and kicking at 79, according to his website. He does a blog and some other things.

    I just came home from a Thanksgiving dinner also attended by my niece, who has recently become a certified EMT. To get her certification she had to log a lot of hours accompanying other first responders to emergency medical situations. She was discussing all the hours she’s spent at the fire station during her lengthy training period, and she reported that the firefighters cook breakfast but not other meals, since they are usually too busy driving the ambulance all over town from one call to another. Between calls they stop at a lot of fast food outlets and doughnut shops to eat, as do cops.

    Like the one that B. J. Hunnicutt played on Hawkeye (with the aid of the rest of the cast) in the 10th season of “M*A*S*H”?

    Hawkeye’s “pay up” for losing the bet was to stand on one of the mess hall tables and sing Cole Porter’s “You’re the Top.”

    Actually, it was a rather deceptive trick. The bet was that Hawkeye would be the “sole survivor…” that he would not be tricked by BJ. All during the day, Hawkeye watched things happening to the others, perceiving that they had been tricked, and that he hadn’t. But at the grand reveal, each “victim” indicated how, precisely, it was only Hawkeye’s “perception” that they’d been tricked but, in fact, were not. The only one who had been tricked was Hawkeye, for falsely perceiving that the others had been.

    Don’t fall into her trap ^Thanks, and you’re right- this is true! But I’ll give you my reasoning for responding to her on this. – First, I realized when I first posted that others too may feel that what I was saying would be considered a “nanny” type comment, so I responded to her, to hopefully explain to all, and I saw this as an opportunity to lay it down, as to why I first posted my original comment in the first place. -Second, I also felt the need to expound upon what I originally said, adding the different situations to show examples as to how we can look in on others, and too I sincerely care about the impact of safe road habits, including “think before you drive, don’t drink before you drive”… it’s always important, but it seemed a good time to emphasize that, being the holidays… – So, that’s why I chose to respond this time. I would have ignored it altogether, but it felt important to respond in these two areas…..
