Bon Apetit.
Ok guys, I got bumped a day behind thanks to some difficulties that I had with Blogger.com. I spent hours trying to get a picture to upload. Eventually I had to give up and hit the rack. I did get a chance to go prize shopping this afternoon at some of the local hajji-marts. I managed to procure some interesting "Iraqi stuff" that I think people might enjoy.
Since I got pushed a day behind, I put Wednesday and Thursday out at the same time.
Now, don’t anyone get all huffy about it! I don’t want to hear anyone complaining!
Actually, I’m sorry, I have to apologize…I’m just a little tired…long days…the heat…you guys understand, right?
Or, it may be because I haven’t had a crap in two days…hmmm. You see what I go through just to get a laugh!!!
Anyway…what am I forgetting…Oh Yeah!...The BALLS!
Bunch of sick freaks, you people are. What’s wrong with you, your mommies didn’t hold you enough? Raised by wolves? What’s with the potty humor, huh?
So, what have we learned?
We learned that Peg has enough class to translate (roughly) her nasty thoughts into Spanish.
We learned the she also prefers her balls "spicy". (I don't know what that means, but I think we should go dancing some time.)
We learned that myself and 1st lady are both recovering smokers. (Stay Strong, Trace!)
We learned that Bryce knows where to find the hottest Lamb-ball eating contest in northeastern Florida.

And last, but not least, we learned why I eat out so often when I come home.
To quote my dear mother:
"ground camel balls, covered in dung gravy served over a bed of camel intestines. YUMMY! And all the trimmings."
You guys should come to thanksgiving dinner some time, It’s a HOOT!
Ok, 5 pts for each person who guessed "Swedish Meat Balls"
10 pts for Bryce, Peg, and my Mother…because…well…I liked their balls.
Shy Pamela who jumped out there in such a timid manor gets awarded 1 Canadian point. You’ll love it, it’s great…it’s just like an American point, except it isn’t worth anything…
Next time, Pamela, you should grab Peg’s balls and run with them.
(just like my family did!)
You really shouldn’t be afraid with this group, I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like everyone in the world can see you going on and on about a plate full of camel nuts. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Now she’s going to hate me forever.)
Have fun with today’s mystery meat, I am going to try shake things up a little bit for tomorrow. (Peg’s advice) See you all soon…

what do you do if you're vegetarian?
just wondering.
Hey KiKi,
The accepted, military term is S.O.L.
Actually, even thought I rip on the poor food(a lot), we have a huge choice of crapy food at every single meal! And if you happen to be Vegetarian, you can actually survive fairly well. The stuff isn't actually that bad...
I think I'm looking at maybe baked halibut with greens and yams, and pork chops with green beans and mashed Dan Quayles and gravy. We lived on MREs for several days after we went back to our Metairie home in Metairie mid-September. Honestly, we enjoyed them, and were very thankful to have them. I think they looked better than what I'm seeing in the photos. Perhaps you or the chef just need to work on the presentation, eh?
I am going to be good this time since I caused such a hailstorm of balls to go flying!! Well comments anyway..lol...
Meal one is:
Possibly Veal Parmesan, or meatloaf, green beans and SHOCK--Potatoes and gravy? Geez..what took so long to have them again? Fruit salad. Nummy...
Meal two is:
Some form of meat or fish with cheese on it or a sauce. Salad with lots of black olives and OH MY GOODNESS NO--could it be MORE potatoes? Just sweet ones this time... Must be a demand for potatoes in any shape, size or form over there..??
And of course for dessert? A love song.
And J--FYI..I do like em' spicy-- thank ya very much!!! And the next dance is saved JUST FOR YOU!! :)
Hey, you have a current Stars and Stripes! No fair! We're 3 days behind here...
Well, I'll try not to be shy in this comment but its hard to keep up with those who have balls flying around on a regular basis! :-) (Love Ya Peg!)
The first is pork chops in red gravy, green beans, and the well known potatoes and gravy. Lets not forgot the fruit salad....
The second one I'm not so sure about....maybe fish (thanks for the tip on that one Eric), greens, and sweet potatoes. Don't forget the rabbit food!
I sure hope those meals taste better than they look....
Day 1 is baked BBQ chicken you sneaky bastard! you rotated the plate to hide the shape of the chicken breast! Of course there is the ever present complex carbohydrate mashed potatoes and gravy, steamed asparagus and a mixed fruit cup.
Day 2 is some kind of baked white fish in a cream sauce. I hope your cooks like you, and that one of their names is not Tyler Durden! The carmelized carrots look like Elmo shit and the steamed spinach looks like something we pull out of the dolphins' stomachs after eating eel grass for two years. YUMMY! And of course there is the side salad with the olive dressing. Be careful with the olives, you are going to come back fat! All I want to know is: Where is the shit on a shingle! I know they serve that over there! Better not dissapoint me on day 5!

Day one looks like vomit for the entree. The potatoes and gravy are easy enough, but those large green cylinders that are chopped up I don't know. Is it grown underground? Day two must be some sort of fish that comes from the dead sea. The greens look like they could be mustard or collard. If you ate all those yams you must have been farting all over the place
okay picture one... that is asparagus not green beans.... mashed potatoes and gravy... and is that chicken??? I am thinking it's some road kill that's still bleeding... do they have roadkill in Iraq???
day 2: i just have to know... do you request all of those black olives and tomatoes or is that all they know how to put on a salad???? and if that is fish.... god help you guys... where do they get fish there? im sick thinking about it... i am sure they can ship it in frozen, but in that heat....yuck.... do you guys get diet coke over there? id die if i had to drink water all the time.... sweet tea?
just so you know.... i am not "pam" your mom and peg's co-worker... I am pamela... mike's friend.
First of all, I am sorry for you after looking at the first meal. It looks like......well..... shit!
But my guess is chicken parmasan, a-sapre-a-gas, smahed potatoes w/gravy and fruit salad.
The next one looks somewhat better and my guess is some kind of white fish cover in a delicate cream sauce,sweet potatoes, turnip greens and a side salad.
Now between the fruit salad, turnip greens and salad you should be able to hit the crapper on a regular basis (lol) No more "Mr. Crabby Butt"!
Hey J--
I am not cheating by reading others comments, but I did take a good hard look at the pictures again and realized those "green beans" were not really beans at all--it was those big chunky chewy stalks of asparagus. You know the kind. How come we never see pie or cake? No desserts for you? I bet you like sweet things too don't ya? Me? Well you know..spicy. hee hee... Happy Eating J.
And this is for PAM--love ya too you sick PUPPY. lol...
