I was half-surprised that no one wrote in to tell me I had spelt “Peking” (the town) incorrectly. Yay for us!
Saw It Coming

A Little Dry
I guess you could eat oatmeal dry, couldn’t you? Wouldn’t kill you, unless you choked to death.
Sweet Tooth Diet
My grandparents used to put sugar on everything and they lived well into their 90s and weren’t the least bit overweight. Why couldn’t I have inherited that?
Wheat?
Years ago, you heard of no one who was gluten intolerant. Now it’s everywhere. I wonder how we changed (or did we)?
Hike Me That Turkey!
Thankfully, we ate up the turkey pretty quickly this year. And we’re having omelets for Christmas. (No turkey in sight!)
Whipped Cream on What?
I like whipped (whooped cream) and, yes, I will occasionally have just a mouthful of it by itself. But now a whole plate? No. Um, why not?
That’s Enough for Me
We’ve been trying to recreate that gravy since then. I’m afraid it was lightning in a bottle.
Good Gravy!
We were eating at a favorite restaurant and my wife ordered chicken-fried steak with gravy. The gravy really did taste like a cross between gravy and cake frosting. (Hint: I thought it was GREAT!)
Good on Rye
See, Picadillo doesn’t always eat the whooped cream straight out of the can. Sometimes he eats it with something. Why rye bread I don’t know.
Family Pork Roast
The thing is, pigs will eat pig, if they have to. But I had a buddy who discovered they wouldn’t eat mellorine.
