Hahahaha, maybe I should thank you for making my day a little brighter by removing my stress and worries. ^_^ I’m already worried about my 5 year old sassy daugther and I think I’ll have a really tough time when she become teenager! Seriously, you crack me up… It was a fun read, and oh Archie and his lady! Keep us posted. 🙂

Charlie, although I might be looking forward to having teenagers of my own I’ll take that Cattleman’s steak any day of the week (yes you knew I would say that).

Actually Charles, it was the butcher who wrapped the bone tip in foil. I’ve heard it’s done so the bone doesn’t burn and then come to the plate looking tragic. I think the French started it with their crown roasts! (I do hope it was the French who did the crown roasts).

Gosh, I’m not looking forward to that “sullen teen” phase at all… though I hear the years of 2 or 3 years old are pretty bad!

I noticed your steak, which looks fantastic, but was wondering something… why did you wrap the bone tip in foil? I’ve been trying to think of the reason but I just can’t. Maybe you just did it so it looks nice, I’m not sure?!

OMG..I absolutely love your posts!!! I know I’ve said that before, but I was laughing so hard my son had to put down his shoot ’em up video game to ask me what was so funny 🙂 If those mother’s don’t want to know the truth, they really shouldn’t ask! I loved Rent the movie, don’t be scared!

Ok, so now my dread of the teen age years has just reached a whole new level… Thanks a lot! Oh, and how did Archie like the whole world finding out about the new girlfriend he hadn’t even told home about yet? ;o)))

What a beautiful couple!!! Archie is very handsome indeed!!! 🙂 You must be so proud of him! He’s in his last year of Uni that’s fantastic! That’s also really sweet of Carl to take Alfie away for the weekend to give you more time ~

Pete offered: “YOU’RE RUINING EVERYTHING!!” 🙂 I had to laugh at your post and Celi’s reply, it’s all so true and timely for us, and the parents with little kids have NO IDEA what’s coming. Oh, and we’ve had the “I’m 16 and I could leave school now if I wanted to..” but thankfully no body art. Yet. 🙂

Wow, the patience and courage it takes to raise kids! I bow to all the mothers and fathers out there…it’s a wonder we all survive! Love your salsa verde and how you’re serving it. And Archie looks so happy with his lady!

You gave a nice tight summary of raising teenagers. You had a duty to forewarn those mothers so they won’t crumble at the first teenage obstacle. No one who hasn’t raised a teenager knows what heartache is. Teenagers break your heart over and over again in a lot of small subtle ways. But then they get past that stage and became human again. It’s a waiting game for their brain cells to catch up with their body development.
