How Do You Make Nice?

said something really stupid and callous to a friend. It hurt her and I was really wrong to say it. I was in an annoyed mood- I was caught at a bad, bad moment and what I said reflected that. No excuses- I was pretty ugly- and really wrong for it.

I'm making a blackberry-jam bundt cake and a bowl of whipped cream to take to her this afternoon to see if she'll accept my humble, heartfelt apology- and I hope she does 'cause I was stupid- and she's too good a friend for me to lose.

What food have you all used to make nice? Or has anyone offered something so delicious to you that made it too hard to stay mad at them?
 
been there done that -

when I make "nice-nice" (maybe it's a woman thing - we always have to repeat ourselves to be heard - guys say it once and forget it - but we women have the memory of an elephant and never let it go) its always something extra special that they will like

and then again - don't forget the Italian way of doing it - some of those tempers combined with their stubborness - and they "bury" you before you are dead!

I've seen Italians that have a disagreement "bury" their opponent in a blink - "that's it - he's dead in my book - I never want to lay eyes on him again - I spit on his grave" - you know what I mean
 
you guys kill me!

yes I have "buried" a few in my time - but those b.a.s.t........ don't deserve to live among the human race -

one just passed recently and I wish I were a man so I could **** on his grave - he was that bad

for me to bury anyone - they have to be so bad that no one likes them
 
Kevin, when you screw up like you mentioned, I'm thinking you just might end up wearing your food offering apon presentation. You may be better off just forwarding the heart felt words you used above and then laying low for a few days. Then send chocolates.
 
IC - you mean the "maluke"? (sp)

just pour olive oil in a bowl and hold it over the victims head to see if it swirls - rids you of the curse and make the sign of the cross on the victim's forehead with warmed olive oil (annointing them)

Lord, mama! Where does the be-headed chicken come in? :)
 
the chicken is voodoo stuff -

every country has for generations had a "curse" of some sort - the Italians, the Spanish, the Mexican, the Irish, the Polish, the Slavic, the Greek - you name it

and Kev -

there is a CURE for the OPEN MOUTH INSERT FOOT SYNDROME -
what you do when you are "short" and things are not going right and an innocent victim approaches - you start to count out loud - and loudly - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF! SAY GOODBYE TO THIS LOUSY SITUATON BECAUSE IT IS NOT ME!

they will think you are nuts - but you won't hurt their feelings and in time they will know you don't want to hurt anyone when you're having an off day or something is just not going right at the moment

with enough people around they can all join in - WHAT A BLAST! LOL

and no hurt feelings and no worry about making nice-nice

(bake a cake for a BLAST OFF party!)
 
You guys don't go mixing that Hatian Voodoo be-headed chickens and all up with Italian Hexes now. Unless of course you are just talking about the dumplins, lol.
 
so I must be reading your mind IC!

okay - since my "psychic powers" are working - I will predict your future IC -

let me look into my crystal ball (I have to turn one of my glass bowls over - just a minute)

I see, I see, I see...........

my kitchen table through the bowl........

OOPS.........

I mean -

I see in our future IC -

LOTSA GOOD FOODS! AND A FULL AND SATISFIED TUMMY!

THE GREAT MAMA-WIZARD HAS SPOKEN (like in the Wizard of Oz)


now to invert my bowl and make something good today................

(Mama Wizard's predictions/readings are for entertainment purposes only)

I would explain it to her. If she is a good friend she will understand everyone has said things they would like to take back later. A baked goodie would help to ease the pain lol.
