As I posted last week, I made a pot of beef ragout as a salute to fall
(for the record: I hate this on and off Daylight Savings idiocy we do
twice a year). I made such a huge batch - damned thing grows like
Topsy - that I gave a good sized container to my stepdaughter, who
served it last night. Quoteth the 6 year old granddaughter, "It tastes
really good, but it looks like dogfood." Miserable brat. We're keeping
her overnight tomorrow and I may feed the little monster more dogfood.

Smart kid! She can come to our dog-ladies annual dog-related food
party..... We've had stews deliberately made to match el-cheapo canned
dog food labels, and a great chocolate spread for gingersnaps that was
piped onto the platter to look like... you guessed it! Even had some
gummy-worms poked into it.... Yeh, we're shock-proof and
"ew.....gross"-proof.....

Maybe they feed their dog really well, with homemade beef stew.

Or not. Heh.

When my youngest child was about 5 yo, he came to see what I was making
for dinner, it was cabbage rolls. He said they looked like something
that would come out of an ox's nose. Children are just precious, aren't
they?

That's hilarious, is he an imaginative/creative person? How'd he come up
with that, you wonder.

He either saw an ox in a book or on a nature program on television. He
was a picky eater, but he has improved over the years.

Castleberry ( something like that) canned beef stew. It looks like
food, but tastes like dogfood. Feed her that.

My thought on kids is that cute and clever is good; thinking they can
tell an adult what to do - no.

Depending on the time frame, he may have heard it on TV. First time I
remember hearing it, it was a line used by Jack Elam to describe an oyster
on the halfshell.

I believe the series was _Down and Out in Beverly Hills_. Jack and a buddy
were homeless guys, and ended up living with his buddy's family in BH. One
night they served the oysters. Buddy asked what that was. Jack's reply:
Looks like someting that fell out of an ox's nose.

I laughed like hell!! And still went out for my usual dozen that weekend.

(laugh!) That would explain how a 5 year old would come up with
something like that. Glad you enjoyed that plate of bison boogers.

Hee hee! At least she ate it and liked it. My mother used to make Veal
Provensal and it looked too much like vomit or something else gross
that I woulds not eat it! And years later, I discovered it was YUMMY!

Everybody's stroganoff looks like someone already ate it - helps if
you eat it in the dark.

Now *there's* an idea with legs!!! Jeez, I haven't thought of that in

I doubt it's on pay per view ;->
