Words are Funny
For my Grandfather's first birthday dinner I made Chicken Marengo, a family favorite and Napolean's lucky battle meal. I used my Dad's recipe for drop noodles and when he came over he said "Why do you have a bowl of ice next the stove?"
I said, "For the iced spoon! In the recipe you said to drop the batter into the boiling water using an iced teaspoon!"
My Dad doubled over laughing because of course he meant an iced-tea spoon. But in my defense there was no space between tea and spoon.
My Dad brought over my mother's journals for me to read and digitize. Prepare for a storm of weeping, lj!
