An Adventurous Lunch

Joanna has now decided that steak seasoning, teriyaki sauce, and salad don't mix well. Judy was on lunch duty, and put what she thought was the balsamic vinegar on the table. It was in actuality, the teriyaki sauce (We're thrifty people around here. We use the old balsamic vinegar jar to hold the teriyaki sauce since it's much easier to handle than the gallon jug) I wish you could have seen Joanna's face. She absolutely LOVES balsamic vinegar and steak seasoning (who knows why!) on her salad. It's one of her favorite things. She took her first bite, and her face began to contort and scrunch up with absolute horror and disgust. Various adjectives followed in hot pursuit. (Believe me, this isn't an exaggeration) Unfortunately, I couldn't contain my laughter. I probably should have, because I then proceeded to spill all of the salt in the salt shaker onto the table. Thankfully there weren't any guests around. They would have thought us the most clumsy, disorganized (I mean really, who keeps the teriyaki sauce in the balsamic vinegar jar?) family they had ever seen.

I'm really proud of Joanna. She finished her salad, although it was done with much grimacing and irritation.

To John,
I sure YOU have NEVER done anything as foolish. If you think not, you must have been dropped on your head when you were little. *Grin* There are many things I could post at this moment, but will refrain from doing so, because of my kind hearted, giving, compassionate spirit.

He was never dropped on his head that I know of, Judy, but he never fell out of a tree. Joanna, you're a real trooper, and Jane, take heart, I hear that laughter is good for digestion. : )

I never fell out of a tree?!

Sorry, I usually check my posts before sending them. It should have said, "but he nearly fell out of a tree." ("never" should have been "nearly")
