    Control of Latin? That's it? That's all to Latin.
    Mister, you are forgetting the meme of Romans Go Home in Monty Python's Life of Brian

    Well, a life saved because Brian flubs Romani ite domum as Romanes eunt domus.

    The meme has resurfaced with Hulu adaptation of Atwood's novel and the trending mock-Latin aphorism.

    My DH says this too. Especially when I slog over the malabar biriyani and beef fry and then don't eat anything because of all "that" smell.

    I don't even try to decipher this question.

    +1. DH always asks me to cook veggie food and insists on him making the fish curry but I have to do it my way. Especially because my kids are pure carnivores.
    I have no idea why I feel an immense measure of guilt when I don't make something for each of the three kids at home.

    Hey Ram!! Thanks for the laugh.

    While we grapple with men and their idiosyncratic guilt and sanctions and cultural revolution, here is my tribute to all my carnivorous foodie campers. People who know me know that I eat like a mad rhino.

    Beware!

    Telling you (one woman to another): Don't ever reveal your Achilles' heel in food to a man. He would employ them in devious ways.

    “Babykooch, let's go and have that chocolate swirl ice cream in that place you so love.”
    “Let me take you to that tandoori place, those yummy mutton chops you love so much.”

    Holy Kebab! How is a woman supposed to concentrate on a “fight” when the man lures into such visceral tastes. She needs to focus on the fight. If the man spots that your weakness is food, he will not only diffuse but also ensure that after every fight you put on at least 1 kilo with the pampersome food. Don't ever tell your weakness in food. You will regret this irreversible mistake. Men as lovers, friends, or fathers discern sooner or later that woman and food are inseparable and that is how they win every argument while you are crunching those brownies.

    Gauri: What the heck did you do to our tree house?
    Ira: Summer time! Renovated it!
    Laks: We arrive few hours late and Ira turns it upside down. I told you that we should not leave her alone in the tree house.
    Rihana: Our Aristotle was supposed to keep a watch on her.
    Laks: Where is he?
    Rihana: The engineers at James Webb Space Telescope pulled him to advise on the design of their project to make it to October 2018 launch date.

    Gauri: What are those puddles in front of the tree house?
    Ira: I built two swimming pools!
    Gauri: You call those puddles pools? Even a mouse cannot skinny dip in that spill.
    Ira: I will dig wide later.

    Laks: I am ok with the tree house. Lot of light and shade.
    Rihana: Not bad!
    Gauri (shouting from inside): What did you do to my aquafaba bucket?

    If that's aquafaba in those puddles we've been swimming in, our moms aren't going to take us back in. We'll be banished to the tree house forever!
