As we cleared the table, Ron grabbed the jar and announced that he would dump the contents down the drain. He knew this would annoy me because I am a fervent composter.
"No, it goes into the green bin." I carefully strained out the solid vegetable matter, then bent over the compost bucket and coaxed the pieces out of the jar.
Whack! Whack! Whack!
Ron decided to administer an impromptu paddling while I was in the appropriate position.
"Beats, beets. Get it?" he chortled, as his hand warmed my bottom.
"Yes, I - ouch! - get it. Very funny."
You've gotta love a man who enjoys his homonyms. But I think that tomorrow we'll have bread and butter pickles with dinner.
I love beets. Homemade or store bought. Bacall will not touch them.
ReplyDeleteI love beets too, yummy, yummy. Now I want some.
ReplyDeleteI certainly envy you, your life with a spanko in such close proximity, Hermione :) LOL
ReplyDeleteI just love Ron's humour.
ReplyDeleteI don't like bets. Stems from having to eat them on school dinners yuck.
Love,
Ronnie

Bogey - That means all the more for you then,
ReplyDeletePoppy - Have you tried the golden ones? Same great flavour but a diffeent colour.
Rayne - It's a real advantage sometimes. He keeps me on my toes.
Ronnie - Yeah, he's a riot. Too bad you don't like beets. They're good for you.
Hugs,
Hermione
Pickles? You may very well find yourself in a pickle! :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I'm with Bacall -- no no NO to beets.
Erica - Not even when they're in borscht? But they make trips to the bathroom so very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Hermione
OOOOH! I love beets/beats! My G'pa used to have us put beets on top of cottage cheese.. and now that's my favorite way to eat beets!
ReplyDeleteI think you should try pickled eggs instead of pickles.. period! LOL
Zelle - That sounds yummy! Now, pickled eggs are another matter. I don't think I've ever tried one.
ReplyDeleteHermione.. I just drop hard boiled eggs into the beet juice and keep them in the fridge a few days.. then the eggs tasted yummy! And they are a very pretty color! (ps..take the shells off first! LOL)
ReplyDeleteGreat thought by Ron.... Spankings should be fun! ( at lest for one of the participants.
ReplyDeleteRed
Hahaha, and you just said on Bonnie's brunch that your spankings are always scheduled... I guess Ron has been reading it, eh? ;) xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteZelle - Thanks. I'll try that. Sounds lovely to look at, and might be fun to use the egg chopped in potato salad.
ReplyDeleteRed - Ours are always fun, for both of us.
Daisy - Do you think he's one of Bonnie's fans too? Hmmm...
Hugs,
Hermione
