Shallot Life

Let’s start with a hello. You can call me Meepers. Life is funny, frustrating, and weird and thought sharing might bring a community together for some laughs and reminder to take er’ easy sometimes.

Let start with some identifications. Wife = Wife, Baby #1 = S, Kid #2 = R, and Kid #3 = L.

Stories will be random and might not follow the punctuation/grammer(you see that) you prefer but lets have have at it. I have diarrhea of the brain most days and what you see and read is what you’re going to get.

SHALLOTS:

Anybody know the difference between an onion and a shallot? My wife has made it clear that she’s not a fan of onions. I get it, either you like them, or you don’t. That being said she has commented that she can get by with shallots. I like them both and often don’t cook with onions(such a sweet partner). I get it, if you don’t like onions, and bite into some i’m sure it’s going to make for an unpleasant experience.

Wife works long hours. I have a full time job and we have 3 kids. Shit’s hectic to say the least. We both try our best but lately it’s the little things that can send one or both of us into a tail spin.

Last evening Chef Meepers was preparing a little pad thai as wife was on her way home from work. The recipe called for some shallots, no big deal right?, wife says she can tolerate them. Well well well did we find out shallots are on the no fly zone. Wife arrives home and makes her self a plate. I’m not observing wife consume as my attention is focused on how ‘L’ has taken it upon herself to try coloring a small rubber squishy toy with black marker. After 3 attempts to let her know that it’s not going to work she decides to present her now black hands to the family. Well there ya go f-ing genius!

Insert wife from the side of the family room with smoke coming out of her ears. As she stomps to the sink I hear a rumbling of something as she throws the pad thai into the sink.

Wife then boldly accuses me of purposely planting onions in her dinner! I’ve been known to do some asshole things but sabotage a meal with onions?!?! Oh no yoooouuu didn’t just say that woman.

I proudly pronounced they were shallots and stormed up stairs!

Life’s hard, sometimes you annoy each other, we both learned our lesson…or did we? Ha haaa.
