I told DH I was going to make sweet and sour chicken for supper and he seemed interested until I mentioned pineapple. Then he snurled up his nose. He doesn't like pineapple like that. Well, something clicked and I was off and running. I asked: "How do you know? Cooked pineapple is good stuff Maynard! Besides, you have to use the pineapple with the dill pickles in order to make the sauce turn out tasting right." He looked horrified. I reassured him that I was only using 4 pickles and that they would be arranged around the chicken, while the pineapple would be on top of the sauce which is poured over the chicken. By now he is shacking his head no. I was going to embellish it a bit more, but I got tickled too quick. I have got to learn not to smile when I am telling tall tales!  |

Maynard. I haven't heard that one in awhile. ;D ;D ;D
You are so bad. So did you cook the pineapple ? Or did you change recipes ? Personally I love cooked pineapple and love it on my pizza.

I cooked chicken thighs with a sweet & sour sauce mixed with a can of crushed pineapple. It worked great. He said it was good, but that his liking it did NOT mean he wanted it every night. I figure I'll spring it on him again in a couple of months.
When we first married he brought home a snow goose from a hunting trip. I said, "You do know that I have never cleaned one of these before." He said, "You clean it like you would a chicken." I said "I've never done one of those either." He said "You grew up on a farm." I said "Yes." He said "You raised chickens for 8 years in 4-H." I said "Yes." He said, "but you have never cleaned a chicken?" "Nope".
I took the goose and cleaned it while he was having a beer in the den. I came down the stairs (sunken den) wiping my hands on a towel and said "Man, getting the soap out of that thing was as hard as removing the pin feathers." He spewed beer and coughed. "S s soap!" I said "Well, I had to get it clean." but then I laughed. I swear, the look on his face!

I always thought it was awful that Daddy never could find anything, but I found out the first week were married that DH is the same way. At this time we had one of those wooden 3 partition wall units labeled 'Letters'. We put bills in one, outgoing mail in one and the checkbook in the other. He could not find the check book but it was right there in the usual slot. To make matters worse, he had the hiccups and that was bugging him because he was supposed to meet some friends and pay for his share of the hunting lease. He was looking for it all over the house, and just sure that I had forgotten and left it somewhere. I remarked "Honey, even if it is lost, no one else can use them. I wrote my name on all of them." Big intake of breath and at this point I also found out that my husband has no sense of humor when it comes to money.  Cured the hiccups though. ;D |

Ohno - that is too funny!! Although it is a bit insulting that they believe us right away when we say really outlandish things like that  One thing, though...I missed the Maynard thing.  I knew a guy named Maynard, so I just thought that was your DH's name. Help...  /VM |

Nope, Maynard was a buddy of Doby Gillis (very old TV show) and it was just a common expression. My DH is Allen.
