Best meal yet in South Africa: savory lamb shank with mashed potatoes and buttered vegetables for TJ; pasta with butternut squash, bay leaves, and burned butter for Jess. And for dessert... delectable, amazing, caramel-y, bananna-ish, rich, moist, and utterly amazing malva pudding. Here is a snippet of our dinner dialogue while savoring the last few bites of possibly the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, after epic failure of truly valiant efforts to go salsa dancing:
Jess: I could die happy. I'm ready for bed.
TJ: I thought you wanted to do the belly blast video with Peppy Methadone.
Jess: .... Denise Austin?
TJ: That sounds like a stripper name.
Jess: Did you just call her Peppy Methadone?
TJ: Well, her teeth are too white for Peppy Methamphetamine. You know, the teeth are the first to go.
I needed to do research to understand this...some of us never heard of Denise Austin ...now I'm dance/burning belly as I eat cookies!
ReplyDeleteTJ is glad to know he's not the only one! I added a link to the post embedded in her name for the two of you. :)
