Welcome to The Family

The Mom is visiting me, leaving The Sister high and dry for entertainment, and, apparently, cooking. The following is an actual email sent to The Mom from The Sister. Disclaimer: I apologize for her inability to use the "shift" key or proper punctuation or proper grammer or anything in this email. I'm just taking it as it is! And apologies to The Dad, who reads this blog...but he has to know how funny he is!!!! The Mom can't stop laughing right now...

u need to come home!! dad is a wreck in the kitchen. anyway...we were going to try to shake n'bake sweet potatoes...i mean we found some stuff we can use on it. and anyway...i don't think he understands the concept. he was just goin to put the whole pototoe in the oven covered in the "shake n bake" stuff. i'm like...ummm u have to cut them up into cubes. what...why...yah yah..oh i didn't understand. so then anyway...he proceeds to cut them up...and he's like making HUGE slices. i'm like no they have to little cubes. AGH! so i'm cutting and he's like r u sure those aren't too small. i'm like...they need to fit in ur mouth!! so anyway...he spreads oil on the pan with a paper napkin?!?!!? holy crap!! and then he was just going to dip the potatoe wedges in thebreading...i'm like they need oil. he's like why? i'm like...so it will stick and cook. he's like why do they need oil to cook. i'm like they just do. he's like i don't think they need oil. then he dumps like the whole thing of oil on them!!! THEN i'm like..well u can use a container and shake the potatoes in the mix because he was dipping each one in a little bowl. i saidthis because he was rinsing out a plastic bag that he had used for something!! i'm like what the heck?!!? so he's rinsing it out...and i'm like if u do that...isn't it going to have water in it??? so he crumpled itup and got huffy. and mummbled something about them needing water. i'm like well if the directions say u need water then just use the water but u never said anything about water!! i mean we didn't use water on the other potatoes!! then to top it off i don't think the container he used to shake the potatoes in was clean. i thnk it was left over from bringing chocolate chip cookies. so i think we will be having chocolate chip-seasoned sweet potatoes for dinner. ah!!!!
