Quote of the day...er...week...umm...hey, look, a quote!!
Tibi gratias agimus quod nihil fumas.
It says "...freedom of...", not "...freedom from...".
"It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness. People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered, and if we're compassionate we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint." - Penn Jillette

It is this kind of glamour I love. The refinement of the dining hour.
And the fact that you photographed the whole thing.
Awesome!
Very glamorous:-)
Marcie, isn't it grand? I missed the first two bites because I was too busy giggling with a friend as we watched the carnage, but I managed to get the camera out and shooting for the rest.
Bless the enthusiasm of a hungry child...it's just so deeply honest and visceral...
Susie, we try. Hah!
I have a limited attention span. Did I miss something? Is he gonna eat a goat or a T-rex next?
: )
You know there is a Mustard Rule - if there is mustard on whatever you're eating, guaranteed some of it will end up on YOU. Your face, your fingers, your shirt, your lap - you get the idea. My kids try to defy Mom's Mustard rule but it is just one of those universal truths and they cannot.
Hey! That's how I eat mine! You mean I have been glamorous all of this time and didn't know it?
Foolery, did you say something? My mind wandered...
Soup - it's a condiment rule around here; any condiment, it'll get on the clothing that is opposite in color and most likely to stain.
Jennifer, you're a trend setter!!
Now I want a hot dog!
I wanted to look away, really I did. But, just like a train wreck - you have to keep watching.
Suz, I recommend Maverick Ranch all beef or bison - they're a most satisfactory dog with none of the horror or mystery contained in others of the genre.
Debbie, I feel your pain - I often use the same analogy. That's why I took pictures!
