FairyDusted March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 And another one flies the coup. Seems like all the wranglers are being married off. Who is next in line to pick up the slack with Jana? I think the next group of boys will be around the corner. I wonder if Boob and Co. thought ahead for once all the help marries off...No. No I don't. They don't think about shit. 3 Link to comment

A FJ poster got this when she clicked on an item. If nothing else, the language gives them away. Oh, frabjous day! There's a bridal registry! Dances around with glee, quickly peruses the millions of items -- wait! What is THIS? Joy had my grudging respect until the gift card section. She didn't ask for enough items to stock four households, her requests were fairly modest (well, the Bosch "food processor/blender" -- really? Buy a freaking Kitchen Aid with a couple of attachments and you'll use it a lot more) besides the power tools for her husband-to-be until I got to the gift card section. Earth to Jill --- oooops, Joy: Why are you asking for cooking items at all when you are asking for close to $1000 of gift cards for restaurants? Really? Maybe this is a new thing, but I do not get the request for that dollar amount in gift cards. It seems KJB and J-Chelle must be falling down on the job; restaurant gift cards as a wedding gift is not "fiscally responsible". I could think of other things to spend $1000 on. Here's a thought: A mattress and box spring that is not pre-used would be a good start! In the meantime, they'll get married when TLC and Daddy says they can. It's not October. 9 Link to comment

No caption. There appears to be something behind Austin's foot. I can't make it out - resembles maybe a CD or a vent of some sort. Link to comment

Celia Rubenstein March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 Quote Side Dish: Green Beans Ingredients: Green beans Olive oil Salt & pepper Directions: Preheat olive oil in a cast iron skillet on the grill. Place green beans in the skillet and cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This recipe is way too complicated for me! First of all I could not fit the can of green beans in the cast iron pan with the bottle of olive oil sitting in it. I had to borrow a larger pan from a neighbor so they would both fit. Well, I've been cooking it for two hours now but the can of beans doesn't seem to be getting tender. What am I doing wrong?!? 22 Link to comment
awaken March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 That pic is so awkward. I cook "fancier" than that every night for my kids. Although I'm sure actual cooking with *exotic* olive oil is a big deal for them. 2 Link to comment

Jynnan tonnix March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 Aw....count me in thinking that for those of their ilk, this is, indeed, pretty special. I do actually love venison, though very rarely get it, ad the "sides" are perfectly acceptable rustic fare, so I'd have probably enjoyed this meal quite a bit. Then again, there's not a lot of food I don't like, and probably would have enjoyed the heck out of a burger done out on the grill just as much as I might have enjoyed lobster thermidor or filet mignon with bernaise sauce and/or truffle butter....which I have had and enjoyed, both. But I'm just as much of a foodie peasant as otherwise :) 16 Link to comment

Mollie March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 (edited) The menu looks a little sparse to me, being a festive occassion and night to remember forEVER: no appetizers, no breads, no salads, no dessert, no sparkling grape juice (Champagne substitute), no napkins, no tablecloth, no flowers and candles on the table . . . But, Joy was probably so impressed that he didn't serve the meal on paper plates. Edited March 20, 2017 by Mollie 5 Link to comment
RazzleberryPie March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 I don't think the meal is that bad. It isn't fancy, but it's healthier than chikenetti or tater tot cassarole, and actual meal instead of some kind of chintzy ice cream or relish bar. Not everyone wants a super fancy 7 course dinner. I think this suits Joy and Mr. Joy's personalities. 16 Link to comment
Jeeves March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 (edited) It looks like they ate on real plates with metal cutlery. No styrofoam plates and plastic forks. Good for them. ETA: I'm not snarking on that meal.

I think this suits Joy and Mr. Joy's personalities. To me the funny part isn't that it's a somewhat lackluster menu. It's that some idiot at TLC thought their meal was so *awesome* it deserved not only to have a story done about it, but a complete list of all three "recipes" merited inclusion. Seriously, "salt then heat" is not a recipe. Even Sandra Lee would be ashamed. But I don't fault Joy and Austin for it. They are not doing bad for being 18 and 22. I was no gourmet cook when I was their age, that's for sure. I do have to laugh at the look on Joy's face in that one picture (posted above by kokapetl) where she appears to be chewing, though. She looks like she just bit down on something she'd prefer to spit out ... sadly, I suspect it was a fresh green bean and having never encountered one before, she is appalled at it's flavor and texture. Sigh. 15 Link to comment

Booey March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 I can't snark much on their menu choices, I honestly probably would have been happy with that. Maybe mostly cuz I love venison and don't get to eat it often, but I'm also not very fussy & that's similar to what Mr. Booey & I have done on several occasions for "special" dinners. (Except at home, not out on a rock somewhere.) To each their own- personal preference. But what I DO have to say, is I never understood the sit on the same side of the table when it's just the two of them thing. Always weirds me out. 3 Link to comment
