Nobody Panic

Yes, it is another picture of my refrigerator contents. But at least this is still inside a working fridge.

And this moment is brought to you by Panic and Pride.

I’m on my own for supper tonight. Husband is still at the lake. Daughter worked the early car. Dog is with husband. So I decide to enjoy some homegrown ‘maters on a grilled burger and watch either Tender Mercies or Terms of Endearment. I watched Steel Magnolias bymyselfalone last night, and am still in the mood for more 1980s-style heart-sobbing, I guess.

I grilled the burgers, sliced the perfect July tomato, and reached into the refrigerator for the Hellman’s (for the last time, y’all, we don’t have DUKE’S up here). WH WHA WHAT? This isn’t happening. This is a dream. A nightmare. There’s only Miracle Whip! What would Ouizer and Clairee say? (I shudder.)

Better, what would M’Lynn do?

You know it: She’d make her own mayonnaise.

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!

  2. Just ordered a case/4 jars of Duke’s Fat Free Mayo on line. $22.00 flat. They’ll ship it North of the Mason-Dixion too! Note, I am not a Duke’s paid spokesperson, just love the stuff.

  3. Even worse… Miracle Whip LIGHT!

    I would have gone knocking on the neighbors’ doors. “Kin I borry a cup of may-naise, darlin’?”
