My parents were dead set against me
marrying my boyfriend, Yuri the Yeti;
they screamed “TABOO!”
But one taste of his yummy barbecued
yak burgers and they were on Zoom
bragging to all their friends.

          1. It’s a funny story of how I decided to stop eating meat. I was eating alligator pasta (pasta with alligator meat in it, not pasta made from alligator) and I had an existential crisis. I decided after that I wouldn’t eat meat anymore.

  13. Our son-in-law, Joe could have been Sasquatch. He played basketball for Denver and is 7ft. 1 inch, and with some added fur, he is Yeti. He is also a Terlingua cooking grand champion, so most everything he cooks on coals is marvelous. He calls his BBQ business, Sasquatch BBQ, and he means it. At one time, I was a ZZ Top fan, and knew the guys back in the day when they were like the rest of us musicians in DFW, trying to find a sound and a place to play. Once they grew the Monk beards, I couldn’t take the boys too serious. Soup and food caught up in all that face fuzz, a place for the fly’s to rest and enjoy a snack. Momo said I looked like a homeless person with my beard, so I cut it off about three weeks ago, now I look like a homeless person with a home, and I can eat soup again.

      1. Hiya right back, Nancy. I hate to admit it but this one is solid true. Both of the son-in-laws have won Terlingua Chili Cook Off. It’s kind of a big deal in the world of grilling and outside cooking. When we go visit in Colorado Springs, we get to eat all the test recipes. Gotta love that bbq and brisket.
