My husband came home yesterday with a surprise for me. It’s not what you think. (AHEM…Fresh and Slish)
He brought home a package of liver and asked me to cook it for him. LIVER. UGH!!!!
Now I remember my mom making liver and onions when I was a kid and I also remember NOT EATING IT. Just looking at it raw was making me queasy. UGH.
In 9 years…..he had never mentioned liking liver and never asked me to make it. He said he was thinking of him mom and she used to make him liver and onions. *sigh* I couldn’t argue with him after that. He was missing his mom (she passed a few years ago).
I just stared at the liver laying on the kitchen counter and finally called my mom. (Not before Tali 1 walked in the kitchen and shrieked WHAT IS THAT??? EWWWWWWW! at least three times.
“Mom…Mr. 1969 brought home some liver.”
“Do you know how to cook it?”
“Uh…no. That’s why I’m calling you.”
After a confab with Mama 1969, I just jumped in and cooked it for him and served it over a bed of rice. He was so excited and claimed it was delicious.
Did I eat any? Hellz no. The boys and I ate grilled salmon, asparagus and new potatoes.
I love him but liver is where I draw the line.
oh gawd.. I can see your face!!!!!
Liver is DELICIOUS!!!! but errr I can’t get the visual of your face out my head.. I’m cracking up!!!!!
You will not have to worry about me asking for this recipe, cause I hate liver. I only wish I had a mother like you, who hated it also, instead of mine who loved it, and made me eat it. Blech. Iron..Schmiron. It’s nasty.
I remember my grandmother cooking liver. I never ate it either. She would cook me chicken wings! LOL That’s what a great wife does… gives her husband what he wants!
My brother and I used to DROWN liver in ketchup or steak sauce when my mom cooked it…she said it was good for us and she ate it every week when she was pregnant. I can actually stand to eat it now, but its definitely not preferred.
I’m laughing at how he brought the liver home, like there wasn’t a chance you’d ever buy it:)
that is DISGUSTING!!!!! Excuse me. I need to have a moment of prayer. Dear God, When you send him to me, PLEASE don’t ever let my husband bring home LIVER. EVER. In your holy name I pray, Amen.
Jameil….I sent him to the store for veggies. When I reached in the bag and pulled that out….I swear I almost dropped it. WOrse was when I had to touch it in order to season and cook it. UGH.
As soon as he finished eating it….I calmly looked him in the eye and said…
“Don’t ever bring that nasty shyt home ever again.”
Yep! Liver and onions with gravy over white rice. That takes me back! I wonder if I would still like it.
How funny! I also had to eat liver and onions as a kid, and I also hated it.
My mom said it was good for us, blah blah blah.
However ~ As soon as I was old enough to crack a natural health book, I pointed out to her that the FUNCTION of a LIVER is simply to collect all the toxins in the body. (Not the iron….that’s an old wives tale.)
So, I asked her…”Mom? Animal toxins? Seriously?”
She never ate it again. Liver is about the worst thing you can eat.
Salmon… now there’s a smart choice! ;o) (And it sounded delicious!)
ROFL……I dont blame you.
So did he grill your onions after he ate?
My mom used to cook that ish with onions and I would use damn near a whole bottle of ketchup on that ish!
But it proves you’re a good woman because if you didn’t cook it, it would have been a rough night.
See Leah…..that just proved my point. It’s just plain old ewww.
Fresh….don’t worry about my onions. LOL
I think it probably reminded him of his mama. My face was so “fixed on evil” the entire time I had to cook it…I probably ruined all memories for him.
LOL @ fixed on evil
well at least you cooked it…who ASKS for liver? yech! My mom used to fry it for me, it was the only way I would eat it, its pretty decent fried i think…
People buy it here for breakfast from food places all the while…i guess its still a mainstay in the Caribbean for some weird, disgusting reason….yech!
brings me back to my grandma blending greens with condensed milk and freezing it with popsicle sticks trying to trick me…yech!
Girl – Liver and Onions over white rice was the BOMB meal back in the day! You’re a good wifey for fixing your Mr. 1969 his comfort meal – witcha evil azz!
ROFL@“Don’t ever bring that nasty shyt home ever again.”
Ha Ha Ha!! I agree!! YUKKKKKKKK!!
Sissy….you should have seen the look on my face. Pure unadulturated EVIL.
Girl, yes, I haven’t had liver and onions in YEARS! That’s a good source of iron! You done good, 1969.
If my grandmother cooked Liver and Onions, I’d eat it. But if anyone else cooked it, I gave ‘em the side eye. Same with Brussel Sprouts and Okra..
Eww.
I am forwarding this to every woman I know. Being willing to cook liver for someone = love.
LMAO @ Amadeo cos he’s right – that is a sign of true love..
I’ve eaten a lot of strange things as an adult (kangaroo, crocodile, emu, water buffalo, snake) but the things my Mum always tried to make me eat? Liver and Tongue. yuuuuck… Just the smell of liver makes me ill, and the sight of that big ugly cow’s tongue in the fridge at my grandma’s house? yuck yuck yuck…
You’re a very brave woman :^)
MAN!!! I LOVE liver!!! Always have!! My mother thought it was funny because I’m such a picky eater and don’t really like normal stuff, but I will tear some liver up. LOL.
I love me some liver, gizzards, and all kinds of insides of animal stuff.
And actually liver is pretty lean meat too. Yeah liver is where it’s at.
Uuum why I get put on blast…I have not one dirty thought in my head…lol
LMAO….Slish…you know why.
Wait. Cooking it = love? Nooooooooooo. EATING with him, now THAT would be love.
There isn’t enough love in the world to make me eat liver. Ewwwww. Double ewwwwwwwww.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
