Golden Brown Benglish
(readers of “Apartment Life” may click here for Part Four)
It might be a little too soon since the last one, but here’s another round of Benglish, quotes from our toddler.
“Daddy, don’t wiggle the van.” (While I drove us along a road under construction.)
“My stomach-ache is growling.”
“No, don’t say,’Bummer.’ Surfers say, ‘Bummer.’”
“Don’t turn the fan on. Pee-pee does not stink. Because poop stinks.” (When I took him to go potty, he insisted that I not turn on the exhaust vent, which I was not even thinking of doing.)
“Don’t squeeze me. You might squash me.” (When he sat on my lap and I hugged him from behind. Apparently he has seen his mommy grab up crickets — we’re under siege — and squash them in a tissue or a square of toilet paper — which of course we can have Ben go get for us now.)
“Don’t eat my mac and cheese while I go potty.” (When we’re at a restaurant, he says things like this any time he has to leave the table to take care of business. We’ve never stolen his food. Honest.)
I can tell you this: nobody better steal this from me when I make it.
Behold the perfectly grilled turkey and provolone sandwich.
(Wow. Can you tell I was reaching for an excuse to post that photo?)
Hang on a second… !!
Is that the face of the Virgin Mary I see!
I’ll pay you $100 for that baby.
*LOL* Yep, nice looking sammich bud..!
Yuh-uh-mee. Recently I learned that you can dip a grilled cheese sandwich in batter before you grill it. I’m having a little problem with the idea. Sounds like d-oughverkill to me…
Hey, didja ever try grilling a ham salad and provolone sandwich? OMG it’s good!
(Take the $100 from the sucker and run!)
Speaking of van-wiggling, did you read JuJuBee today???
Simon - No, it’s Jerry Garcia, man.
Dave - Yep, and it’s not chicken-fried (knew you’d appreciate that, Dave).
Linda - Oh, have you not heard of a Monte Cristo? It’s a sandwich dipped in batter and deep-fried, served with raspberry dipping sauce on the side.
Not into ham salad, but I’m into $100. Cough up, Simon. Jerry should go for more than the Virgin Mary, anyway.
Just read JuJuBee. I contributed my opinion.
Wow, she certainly promotes me, I hope she isn’t expecting payment…thanks for your opinion, Mark! I am loving the response and we really appreciate it. We’ll take all of the assvice we can get on the subject.
I like turkey and provolone, but I’m not too sure about grilled..
I like the Beglish quotes, though. They made me laugh. :]
OK…What is exactly is JuJuBee? I have to assume that it’s a blog, but I don’t see a link to it. Is there such thing as a blogtease?
JuJuBee - I hope that purchase goes well.
Steph - Delicious either way. Maybe I’ll grill you one next time we’re all together.
Charles - You can click on JuJuBee’s name in her comment above to see her blog. The picture over there is a bit of a tease, because it’s a wide shot.
