What? No hot chocolate? I guess I’ll have the hot dog, then.

I’d be afraid of the “hotdog”.

But a captive audience is PRICELESS.

Poizn? Something tells me the little ones have been watching those British Murder Mysteries along with the woman!

I think I’d stay away from that last item, ‘poizn’ They might want to take that one off the menu if they want return customers

I’ll have the bugz on the rocks with a poizn wafl for dessert! Thanks so much.

Looks like the Woman’s knee is still tender, but I expect it’s coming along nicely.

Is this Sam and Ella’s Cafe?

Ah, the ever practical Elvis!

But, in her position, if she wants rocks, it might be worth it to pay for them rather than to try to walk outside, bend down and pick them up.

Sesame Street: C is for Cookie

B is for Bugz, and that’s good enough for me

H is for Hotdog, that’s good enough for me

W is for Wafl, that’s good enough for me,

And Poizn, Poizn, Poizn starts with P!

…….

Oh I’d like to order everything on the menu

It all sounds so delicious

But it all costs hundreds of dollars,

Yes it all costs hundreds of dollars.

And I think I’d like to order a cookie,

Yes, I’d really like to order a cookie

But it’s not on the list, so

B is for Bugz, and that’s good enough for me,

H is for Hotdog, that’s good enough for me,

W is for Wafl, that’s good enough for w

And Poizn, Poizn, Poizn starts with P!

But what about the Rocks?

You can always have rocks at home, so there’s nothing special about getting them in a restaurant. But if the bugs are fresh and it’s a farm-to-table kind of place, I’d definitely go for those.♥

Is the, WAFL, gluten free?

Take the Poizn. It’s probably cough medicine.

Normally I’d agree with Elvis, but this might just be one of the very few establishments that prepares rocks properly, so that they are cooked through (never eat them rare) and yet still tender, with just a little crispy crust. If so, hundreds of dollars would be reasonable.

Poizn? Seriously? Lemme outta here!

What, no stone soup?

Pick your poizn. On the rocks.

Poizn? Something’s fishy here.

What, no hot cross puns on the menu?

I would say don’t go for the poizn, but a little arsenic can go quite well with old lace. ;-)

“But I’d like the wafl heated, and I don’t want the poizn on top, I want it on the side. And I’d like arsenic instead of cyanide if you have it. If not, then no poizn, just whipped cream, but only if it’s real. If it’s out of a can, then nothing.”

I’ve heard this place is so exclusive, you have to call weeks in advance to get a table (or sofa).

At least there’s no SPAM on the menu! :-)

I’ve been in a bad place lately and I really, really needed this. ❤

Catnip special?

Did any of you do play cooking? Of course, it was just my brother and me, so there weren’t any play food or kitchen toys to be had. However, the first real dish I prepared for my family was beef stew, with the recipe right out of the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. The book had a red plaid cover and was really easy to follow, even for a 5th grader.

Mom stepped in at the end to thicken the gravy, and that was when I learned you mix the corn starch and milk in a separate bowl and then pour the slurry into the stew slowly, so you don’t get lumps. Mom was a great cook.

Recipe:

1 ½ pound boneless beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons cooking oil

4 cups water

1 large onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

6 whole cloves

¼ teaspoon pepper

1 bay leaf

⅛ teaspoon ground allspice

6 medium carrots, sliced into 3/4-inch chunks

1 pound small white onions, peeled and halved

4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

1/4 cup corn starch

2 cups milk

Heat the oil in a large pot cook or deep saucepan. Add all the meat at once over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until brown, stirring occasionally. Add the 4 cups water, sliced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, cloves, pepper, bay leaf, and allspice. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. (At this point, you put the British mystery show on the television to watch).

Stir in carrots, halved onions, and potatoes. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 30 minutes more or until meat and vegetables are tender, check with a fork. (At this point, first-guess who the murderer could be).

In a separate bowl, combine the corn starch and milk and stir until there are no lumps of corn starch. Pour the slurry into the stew, constantly stirring while the gravy thickens. (Just like the plot of the mystery show).

Now that’s goooood eatin!

$100 dollar bugz is a great gourmet deal!

Your menue says

There’s bugz, not ice

Some rocks, could fill

My pain, your thrill

I wanna eat that but I better not touch (don’t touch)

I wanna hot dog, but my senses tell me to stop

I wanna wafl but I want it too much (too much)

I wanna taste it but your dips are an ominous poizn

“What’s poizn?!” running through my brains

I’d prefer a pack of grains

My “south”, so hot

I gasp, “I’m caught!”

My skin, so wet

Shoe lace, I ate

Ya hear me calling and it’s needles and pins (and pins)

My tummy hurts me just to hear me screaming bad names

Not shoulda eaten it cause it’s stomach churning (deep in)

I wanna taste it but your dips are an ominous poizn

Ive been to this place

What, Puck ate all the scarf? They already sold out??!

Close your eyes and point at the list. What could go wrong?

There was a cartoon years ago ( anyone else remember Moon Mullins?) where they were in Hawaii. A boy asked “what is that dish?” His father replied “that’s poi, son” and everyone freaked out!

…But are they organic? Vegan? gluten-free?

Based on the trendy menu, I think Boy and Girl Restaurant is destined for great success.

ROCKy mountain oysters, Yum!

I hope the menu is printed on edible rice paper.

Leave a WAFL out long enough and you get free BUGZ!

My mom puts raisins in her bread pudding. Dad (RIP) used to say it had “bugges” in it.

The menu looks like it was written by a boy.

Are all you folks down south keeping your heads above water?

My daughter was about that age when she played ‘restaurant’. She’d take our orders (mine and her grannies’) then bring us stuff from the cabinet. When she started to walk and get into things, we had a free-standing cabinet we used just for canned goods or things like bags of spaghetti – nothing she could drop and break. She’s 50 and I don’t remember having baby or child locks on anything.

I’m thinking the hot dog might be the best choice here. Dunno what makes me think that.

Did you ever have to make up your mind?

Pick out one – don’t leave your wallet behind

It’s not often easy, at this place to dine

Did you ever have to make up your mind?

Did you ever have to finally decide?

Say yes to hotdog and let bugz and wafls ride

There’s so many choices, and things you must try

Did you ever have to finally decide?

“Can I get a rock smothered in poison?”

OT:

Is the wxfl fresh?

Ummm, maybe it’s time to look for another play resturant. One that doesn’t have poizn (sounds a bit too much like poison if you ask me) on the menu and where the owners didn’t take lessons from Lucy van Pelt.

Bugz. Highly renewable source of protein and other important nutrients.

Thank you for your wisdom Elbiff.

Are the Bugz deep-fried and crispy?

I’m guessing rocks or poizn are not usually the pre-furred choices of meow-ls in this paw-fectly adorable family.

Can you pay the hundreds of dollars with Monopoly money?

I could do without rocks.

So that is what WXFL meant on the menu!

Don’t buy anything Woman! It’s a scam!

For a minute there I thought it said “WXFL”. I’d be willing to try that or at least listen to it.

HATE THIS RESTRAUNT LEAVING A BAD REVIEW !@#$-elvis

Studies show that 60% of people born after 2005 choose “Poizn”!

Poizn

Gotta love that poizn
