Love, love him.


I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

[chickwhorips]

whats wrong with boiled tongue?

[SadieKate]

Boiled corn on the cob. Boiled pasta. That's the entire list of anything I eat boiled.

[Veronica]

Yeah, but we might have to eated boiled tongue.

I loved cow tongue as a kid. Remember grandparents raised cattle, which I'm scared of...

Anyway. In the early years of our marriage I was going on and on about cow tongue and how good it was. We decided we'd make some. On the weekly grocery trip we looked at the tongue and... it looked like a tongue. I couldn't buy it.

I haven't had any since I was 8 or 9. But I still remember it as being really good stuff.

So, if I don't eat any boiled tongue that will leave more for the rest of you. Be sure to do your best for the tongue industry.
