facing off with arrogent people....
I was at work this morning and the people in the house were getting ready to go about their daily schedule ( I suppose), the son was pounding away on a grand piano and the father walked in and said something to the nature of practice makes perfect and it needs to be done.... the kid said something about practice ( didnt catch it ) and the father then said if you dont practice you will end up like the flunky in the kitchen installing cabinets.... unfortunately I heard that.... ( I may loose my job on this one but ...) I turned around and said " without people like me who build your pianos, your musical talents and skills would be for naught, you need us to do what you have a talent for..... " the dad was obviously floored by my comment and once he realized just what I said and sunk in.... he probably had an epiphany about the skills of "flunkies"....

*stands and applauds* Love your response to idiocy. :wub:

wow... Im fiesty tonight....

That's what happens when you get fired up ;)

Would that joke be considered a little Corny, Dawg?!

Bwahahahahaha!!!

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Dusty... Chak the homemade break looks awesome, I need to get back on using the frozen bread dough, not the same but way better than store bought bread..and it smells so good when it's baking.

Thanks IG, Yeah, I know about the smell - every time we bake the dog down the street comes over to check out what we're baking and beg for handouts. But lately I haven't been able to smell or taste anything with this dang sinus issue. Hoping it's cleared up by the time our daughter comes.

I'm just a food lover that likes to experiment. No professional training involved. I'd probably hate "working" with food. I enjoy it too much as a relaxation technique. :)

I would do more cooking, but it's no fun (and dang near impossible) cooking for one. About the only Western food Mama Chak eats are Club sands and chicken.

I'm not into the whole baking bread from scratch and the frozen is amazingly good. The scent of it baking? :drool: :thumbs:

From scratch is easy if you have all the ingredients handy - now sourdough from scratch is another story.

8-o Ranch??!! No, you need some good marinara or red pepper-infused olive oil!




:lol: My first thought, too!




Shoot, y'all are going to make me have to drag out my bread-making machine . . . hate having all that flour taking up space in my fridge, though! :facepalm::laugh:


Time to re-order Legend and Crackberry . . . hope the P.O. actually delivers it to me (been missing my mail for the past 3 weeks!! :ohmy:).

Ah, yes, marinara! Hard to come by out here. Drag that machine out and how off your talents El. I bet you're a great cook. :D

i guess one needs to fight "fire" with "fire" ( as the saying goes).... just because Im a cabinet installer ( at the moment) does not mean I dont have an education or thought capacities..... I wonder if he plans on making any other "remarks" around us "flunkies"..... :evil:

That hoity toity attitude gets under my skin. Has the guy ever heard of "starving artists"? That kid could be the best piano player in the world and still be eating out of boxes. Piano players are a dime a dozen in the entertainment world. Got to have a lot of luck to make it big. And there are a lot of people who need cabinets installed and they wont be calling junior to do the job. Not anyone can put in cabinets. I know, I've done it. I know what a good cabinet install looks like versus a crappy one. And I guarantee ole daddy doesn't want a crappy install. What a .....!

Well, because we'll be eating a lot of good food when they are here and not the same old fare we usually have. She will also be taking part in the cooking, so I'd like to be able to experience her culinary talents to the fullest.
