daddy knows best

I'll try to remember that for him. He won't remember everything, but he'll remember beans.

[He might not have liked the beans at the Rio. The sauce is the same basic brown sugar based Bostonian sauce, but they incorporate about five different varieties of beans. Delish. -- GW]

Wow. Beans and karma. I like your dad's version of the 3 Little Pigs. If (WHEN) I get a teaching job, I'm gonna teach that one to the kids.

[1. Cool. I'm gonna know another teacher.
2. My dad will be proud to know that, too.
3. I hope you can get away with teaching that to the kids without some vegan parent getting all "Oh HELL no" on you. -- GW]

As a kid, my next door neighbor had slightly altered lyrics to The Beans Song. Nothing I wish to print, but you get the idea--same sentiments and outcome! :D)

[Come on, then, Michael. At least give us the clean side of the rhyme so we can figure it out. -- GW]

I am a buffet owner's dream customer. I eat taters, corn, and mac n' cheese too. Since most of a buffet is animal-based, I don't really have that much food. But then there is dessert. Dang! I forgot about that!

[Most of the buffets in this town have a lot of vegetable side-dishes as well, plus humongous salad bars. There are times I don't eat a single animal product even though I'm an omnivore. -- GW]

i like that you planned your assault on the buffet with the care of a well-oiled military machine, starting with asia, but flexible enough to change strategy mid-fight... er, mid-meal... and storm the americas as opportunity presented itself.
taking out that nasty nest of baked beans was an act of true heroism.
and kudos to that man fo yours for having your back.

[1. I always have to plan buffet strategy in advance. Depending on where we are seated, I have to make dashes to wherever the food I want is situated, because unless I want to wait for That Man to finish filling plate 1, I've got to be able to fill my own plate, then be able to carry it in my left hand whilst using my cane with my right. Also, I want to be back in my seat fast enough to tell the server that I would like a large ice-water, because I need to take most of my daily medication with food.
2. That Man is a former Marine. He is prepared for every contingency. If it means eating extra bread pudding to make up for my failure to want dessert, he will totally man up on my behalf. -- GW]

(With a gun to my head): Beans, Beans, there good for your heart/ the more you eat the more you fart/ the more you fart the better you feel/ eat some beans with every meal!

[Yes, that is the version I mentioned that I had learned in school later. -- GW]
