HOLD UP! The assorted sauces weren’t bad, and remember, they were UNUSED! I might also add that the watermelon bowl held up beautifully considering it was a totally organic receptacle! Variety being the spice of life, one might say this meal was ‘SPICY!”. We “wasted not”, we wanted plenty!! Love you guys! Aunt L ps I miss Wooder Ice!

thank you, for your description of an “instantaneous malaise of disappointment and depression,” as this is EXACTLY what my parents and i experience every time we eat a meal and my grandparents house. holiday dinners can be okay, but those thrown-together dinners after an outing are sooo terrible. its all weird leftovers that have been in their fridge forever. and of course, theres the infamous Thanksgiving when grandma “forgot to make the pie.” you shouldve seen the dirty looks my dad and i were exchanging over the table. we were itching to get out of there and get some real food.

Dear Ami and Jonny -
Your dad was bragging on both of your culinary skills and how very much you enjoy food prep, exploration of tastes and textures and of course, eating it all. He explained also how much enjoyment that provides his heart, as well as his mouth and stomach!
And lo- I go on your blog and see this wonderful recipe for ASPARAGUS, CRIMINI AND TOMATO TART. I can’t wait to make it, I’m salivating at your photos.
I’m such ‘the cook’ that Dave suggested I could just get the cardboard facimilie of a stove when we redid the kitchen … so, I’ll show him!!!
Wish me luck - but don’t worry, you’re in the Will.

this is one of the best comment sections so far. not only did some of my family weigh in and comment, well, people who don’t even really know us hit the nail on the head!

needless to say, the mystery spot continues to “pay it forward” - for a $5 entry fee it’s still providing humor to my bleak, dark days. THANK YOU MYSTERY SPOT!

My favorite part was the Potluck of Mystery.

Also, very classy, the way you put the black bar on that mullet lady’s eyes. She seems much more mysterious that way.

Do you reckon that scooby doo and friends ever drove the mystery machine to the mystery spot? btw that dinner made me throw up in my mouth a little.

everything said here is true. every single word. thank god most of us opted against touching the “mystery dinner”, the likes of which i had never seen before, and hope to never see again. i wish there was more video of carl. you know why they call this the “T” area, right?

Oh, wow. Thanks for sharing this great story!
I’m thinking that, somehow, we can ALL relate

LOL I love those kinds of… hmmm… spots? Where what you feel doesn’t match what you are looking at. LOL There’s one in the now known as Six Flags Mexico City which was my favorite “ride” in the whole park. :-p
