I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and immediately went back to sleep. That was one great weekend. But Mondays...who needs 'em? Sheesh. I tried to run at lunch, which was a bad idea. It was 97 degree by 11:00 a.m. already. I made my kids ride their bikes with me down to the lake while I ran alongside. It took half my energy just to get them out the door and onto their bikes. Then my son spent 3 miles pontificating about why he was glad he wasn't a woman (mostly revolving around the baby-having aspects, including stretchmarks and fatness). Thanks for your support son! Why, I just LOVE it....Why, there are so many benefits to being a woman, let me name a few .... #@%$#%!!!! I tried to point out he wouldnt have been born had I not been a woman. But then he suggested I could be his father. Again, way to appreciate my feminine mystique there kiddo. I'm sure I missed a really spiritual opportunity to explain the divine nature of women; all our moral supremecy, and nuturing superiority, etc. But I just told him to back off or I'd give him pickled chicken feet for lunch.

Smart answer! How'd he like the chickens feet for lunch? ;)

At least he recognizes that womanhood is ROUGH and tough and NO man could handle it!

They totally made me gag. I've eaten some pretty interesting stuff in my life (balut, cow testicle soup, fermented potatoes). But the pickle wasn't as salty as I would have hoped for flavor, and to soften the bones and toe nails. So texturally, I was done for. I'm sure it's an aquired taste. Or maybe in soup would be better.

Luzy,

I am laughing SO SO SO SO HARD!!! YOU ARE TOO FUNNY!!! You are more than rough and tough! You are a RUFFATUFFAMUFFIN! Boys and men would NEVER understand divine womanhood.

You ATE the chicken feet??? I wondered how these would taste. My neighbor kept bringing them to us every time he comes back from China. Sorry they made you gag. Goodness, I better tell my neighbor to quit buying them. He is Korean, he must have the acquired taste.

I actually like the chicken feet that they serve in Chinese restaurant as a "dim sum dish". It's cooked, steamed with soysauce, garlic and a hint of chili pepper. Much better texture and taste, I am sure of that. I don't like pickled stuff. Luz, you're BRAVE and TUFF!
