(My son, Ryan, is the one on the right!)
So I have been sitting here thinking about what to blog about for tomorrow. I am so tired and can barely keep my eyes open and have pretty much decided that I wouldn’t get a post up tonight (for Wednesday). However, I have gotten a kick out of listening and watching a couple of teenage boys (one being my 16 year old son, Ryan), make and discuss food. I even got involved. Here is how our culinary evening has gone:
10:30 PM
Ryan: Hey, Jordan, you want some toast with butter?
Jordan: Sure.
*They both slam down the toast, but my son wins.
I think he consumed it in about 3 seconds.
I think he consumed it in about 3 seconds.
Me: Hey son, can you make my popcorn?
(My son makes my popcorn every night).
(My son makes my popcorn every night).
Ryan: Sure mom.
*I eat my popcorn while reading my lovely blogs!
11:15 PM
I hear my son in the refrigerator.
Me: Son, what are you getting now?
Ryan: A Tamale
Me: But son, you already had a couple of those today.
Don’t eat them all
Don’t eat them all
Ryan: I only had one.
*He proceeds to make his Tamale
Jordan: Hey, I’ve never had a Tamale, can I try it?
Ryan: Sure
Jordan: That’s pretty good.
*Ryan proceeds to slam down his Tamale.
I hear a ruckus in the kitchen.
Jordan is attempting to make Mac N Cheese
(yes, out of the box).

Jordan: How much water do I put in the pan?
Ryan: Mom, which pan do I use?
More ruckus in the kitchen
Jordan: How do I measure 4 Tbsps of butter?
Ryan: Mom, how do we measure the butter,
we don’t have any cubes?
we don’t have any cubes?
Me: Ummmm, fill the measuring spoon 4x with butter!
11:45 PM
Me: Hey son, can you get me a bowl of vanilla ice cream
with chocolate syrup?
with chocolate syrup?
Ryan: Sure mom.
*He kindly brings me the ice cream
Me: Son, thank you, but there is not enough
chocolate syrup on it. Can I have some more please?

Ryan: Okay mom.
12:00 AM
Jordan: Hey Ryan, do you have any wieners
(those would be hot dogs) I can put in my Mac N Cheese?
(those would be hot dogs) I can put in my Mac N Cheese?
*I laugh hysterically!
Jordan: Should I just eyeball it or measure it
(speaking of the butter/milk for the Mac N Cheese)?

Ryan: It looks green
Jordan: This is even better than Alyssa’s (my daughter
who is the QUEEN of Mac N Cheese making)!

Jordan: Ryan, do you have any spoons that are clean?
*Oops, I forgot to wash the dishes again.
*Oops, I forgot to wash the dishes again.
I am sure they will continue their culinary talk and partaking of anything they can find long after I have gone to bed, as they are both now downing a Snapple! How is it teenage boys never seem to get full? Where does all the food go?
By the way, this has got to be the most random post I have ever done on my blog.

Haha! That was hysterical! Even though it's all girls in our house, food disappears just as quickly.

Love the randomness! As a youth pastor's wife, I can totally sympathize with the plight of feeding many young guys at once… and everything becomes a contest of how fast you can eat it. I am determined they don't even taste it, but they seem to enjoy it. Teenage guys are a mystery to everyone!

That is TOO funny! I have a little brother, but he is not quite yet to the "eat-everything-in-sight" stage! You must experience daily doses of humor, Barbie – this little tidbit was hysterical!

That may be random, but it's the story of my life right now! They never stop eating! I knew this day would come when we couldn't keep food in the house for more than a day without them devouring all of it, but it got here sooner than I expected. So funny!
