To see all the bullshit stories/rants/petty grievances of Kieran’s Humor go to https://kieranhumor.com. I thought it was “hot” outside when we had "Thanks-grilling", until the wife decided we should do a Savage Shrimp Boil in early September. It was only 105 outside, so a great time to fire up the propane burners and bring 5 gallons of water to a roiling boil in the backyard. The House Elf (my mother-in-law) was turning 90, so every Savage great and small made the trip. Her birthday; her choice of food, and the Elf wanted shrimp. We had boiled shrimp for these Savages before — it was a bit of a disaster. The cheap ass burner kept prematurely ending. Who knew that unlabeled “dial” was a timer that shut off the gas every 3 minutes like we were soft boiling an egg or making a baby? Then we couldn’t fish the handle out of the mass of boiling water and food to lift the strainer out of the scalding pot. So not all the food came out at the same time and not all of it was completely cooked. Some people had to go fish the leftover shrimp straight out of the boiling pot, because they all fell out of the strainer. But the House Elf decided she loved the shrimp and potatoes and corn all stewed in Frank’s red hot sauce and a "bag" of spice.
Weeks ahead of time, the wife ordered a second boiling pot. Bigger and better than the first. If you think this is funny or worth a read, you can tell Kieran's Humor that writing has value. Pledge a future subscription. You won't be charged unless they enable payments.
