I just had to share this email exchange Charlene and I have been having over the last hour or so. She is house-sitting for a girl she works with and I’m going to hang out with her tonight.
And now, the McYarnpants Email Theater is proud to present:
“Dinner at Andrea’s”
Charlene: So, should we get some food to take with us to Andrea’s tonight? I have until Friday when Weight Watchers starts to eat recklessly. Anything you’re in the mood for? I can meet you at home and we can drive over together.
Me: Well, I was going to make a salad with a leftover pork chop from last night for lunch, but we ended up getting Quiznos subs. It was a disappointment and I really was looking forward to pork chop salad. I could bring that and we can share it. Then it’ll counteract the effects of the giant hot fudge sundaes I think we should have. With maraschino cherries, even. Whole handfuls of them.
Charlene: Handfuls of cherries or handfuls of sundaes? Handfuls of everything I say! I have a couple of leftover sausages we could toss on the salad too. We’ll have to stop for sundae ingredients. There is mudslide mix at the house, Andrea insisted I have some before I go.
Me: Ooh! I forgot about the lovely, lovely sausages . . . Can we have caramel on our sundaes? I have some nuts at my house, too.
Charlene: Of course caramel! I mean, as long as there is whipped cream to balance the whole thing out.
Me: Obviously. The whipped cream is what makes it all work. That and the expensive premium iced cream we’re going to use.
Charlene: Nancy suggested perhaps we might also want some delicious shaved coconut as well. I must say I’ve never thought about that option, but I do believe coconut has fiber doesn’t it?
Me: Hmmmm. That might be interesting. I think I have some of that, as well. But it has sugar on it. Is that a problem? HA HA HA HA HA HA
Charlene: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: So coconut then?
Charlene: I can’t think of any reason why not.
It’s nice to have a friend who so truly and deeply understands me.
it is indeed. not to mention that she appreciates the importance of fiber.
Oh lord – it’s not even 9am and I want a Sundae. And you know what? I don’t even LIKE ice cream.
You’re dangerous. So is Charlene. When can I see you again? 😉
I am definitely in the mood for a porkchop and sausage salad — if you maybe cook the sausages with some peppers and onions and throw them on a baguette. As for the Sundae, I’ll pass on the cherries, but I’ll raise you some strawberry sauce and toast that coconut.
That was a very funny blog entry and you’re making me drool on my computer.
Friends with carbs are the only ones who can be trusted!
It’s 3 am… and I thought reading about roving, spinning and YARN would be safe. But NOoooooooooooooooooo, you’ve got pork and savory stuff and ICE Cream! have you seen this?
I kept seeing your blog linked everywhere, so I figured I’d take a peek and now I see what all the hub-bub is about, it’s GREAT! You are totally funny. I’m stealing a button!
