“The yin and yang of intimate interpersonal relationships post, 21” (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)

yin:  “Honey?  Did you put green peppers in the hamburgers?  Because you know I don’t like green peppers.”

yang: “Yeah, I know.  But I don’t particularly like making the freaking hamburgers, either.  So I figured I’d even things out a bit, if it’s all the same to you.”

    So, like, instead of making stuffed peppers with hamburger stuffed in peppers, you made stuffed hamburgers with peppers stuffed in hamburgers.

    Hmmmmm.  Don’t think that would work.  Too much like trying to reverse a jelly donut.

  2. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Yang is a master at dicing.

  3. Homer says:

    MMmmmm, reversed jelly donut.

  4. MarkD says:

    Yeah, I’ll complain about those peppers:

    1.  The next time they’ll be habaneros.

    2.  I’ll be making my own damn burger.

    3.  I’ll be eating at Burger King.  Have it your way – right.

    4.  I’ll be wishing we had burgers as I chow down on my Brussels sprout laced mashed potato pie – grateful that it is not chicken sashimi.

  5. Mark says:

    Peppers in hamburgers? No problem, just think of it as meatloaf with the bread on the outside.

  6. “Honey?  Did you put green peppers in the hamburgers?  Because you know I don’t like green peppers.”

    Oh YEAH? Well some manifestations of yang are Hindu vegetarians that think MUSHROOMS are “meat.” No, I’m not kidding.

    So, uh—are you going to eat that?

  7. JD says:

    Yang: Well, I’d perform a “partial pepper abortion” on the hamburgers, but I think it would threaten the life and mental health of the hamburger, so philosophically I just can’t do it. 

    Besides – you made the choice to have hamburgers with me, so you are equally at fault.

  8. Merovign says:

    Anybody who puts green peppers in my hamburger had better have a pretty sophisticated and active ballistic anti-hamburger program going on.

    I got your unilateral response right here.

  9. Oh YEAH? Well some manifestations of yang are Hindu vegetarians that think MUSHROOMS are “meat.” No, I’m not kidding.

    The hell?

    Well mushrooms aren’t vegetables, and they exhale CO2.

    I wouldn’t mind green pepper in meatloaf, it would make a nice switch from the green olives. As for bugurs, I have found that boughten frozen patties are preferable to home-manipulated ground beef on the grill, even before the introduction of problematical ingredients.

  11. friend says:

    because of the misogyny!

  12. gahrie says:

    Aw quit whining and eat your meat. After all, it is the fourth annual eat meat for PETA day.

  13. Merovign says:

    You know, I was not aware that it was Eat Meat for PETA day.

    Garcon! More bacon!

  14. Mortal Wombat says:

    MMmmmm, reversed jelly donut.

    Which begs the question, “What is a reversed jelly donut?”

    The answer, of course, being, “Forty bucks, same as downtown.”

  15. Darleen says:

    Yang is just engaging in a little passive/aggressive revenge ‘cuz ying forgot this important holiday yesterday.

  16. Ardsgaine says:

    Yin: I’d like half the pizza with ham and pineapple.

    Yang:

    Yang: But you’re not going to eat half the pizza…

    Yin:

    Yang: And I detest pineapples…

    Yin:

    Yang: And so do our children…

    Yin:

    Yang: Which means I end up sharing my half with them, and the only leftovers have pineapple on them…

    Yin:

    Yang: And you don’t eat leftovers…

    Yin:

    Yang:

    Yin: Fine. Get whatever you want.

    Yang:

    Yang: Hello, Pizza Hut? I’d like a large pan pizza with pepperonis, italian sausage…

    Yin: No sausage!

    Yang: Make that pepperoni and mushrooms…

    Yin: And no Mushrooms!

    Yang: Um, just make it a large pepperoni pizza to go…

    That exchange reminds me of why I’m not married anymore.

    T/W If momma aint happy, aint nobody going to be happy.

  18. Walter E. Wallis says:

    My wife of 51 years tried that crap on me a couple of times early on. When I made alternative meal arrangements she stopped doing it. Mates should not game one another.

  19. Salt Lick says:

    “What is a reversed jelly donut?”

    So this woman walks into a bakery and sees the proprietor kneading and flattening a big ball of dough against his sweaty, naked chest.

    She tells another shopper, “That’s disgusting!”

    Other shopper says, “Oh, that’s nothing.  You should what he uses to make donut holes.”
