The other day I found some T-bone steaks on sale and bought a pack of 4 beautiful steaks. Crystal and Daniel have recently bought them a charcoal grill and I told her that since I bought them she could cook them. This was her first attempt to cook steaks. OUTSTANDING!! She did an awesome job. They were so delicious. Cooked to perfection. There is nothing like a good t-bone cooked over charcoal. I think Daniel could have eat two of them. GOOD, huh Bubba!! I guess for the 4th of July Crystal gets the honors of cooking our steaks again.
What if you were going to be on a deserted island but my chance you had the opportunity to semi-prepare for it. You were able to have one personal item other than the clothes on your back, what would it be and what would you wear?
This time with Mahammad happened a while back and it caught him off guard. He is so funny. You never know what to expect from him and he's learning that about me as well. He told me, 'Vickie, go home and get your Bible and you find me in it.' I said, 'Yeah right, Mo-Mo.' He said, 'No, rreally (rolling the r), you find me.' Several days later I stopped by again and Crystal was with me. I said, 'Hey Mahammad! I found you in my Bible.' Mo-Mo: 'You did?' Me: 'Yeah! It said: Get thee behind me, Satan!' He looked at me with this look of like, what did you say! Grinned, turned around and walked off shaking his head.
The other day I stopped by the cleaners to pick up some work and Mahammad greets me at the door as always. Mo-Mo: 'Vickie, how you doin' today?' Me: 'Fine Mahammad. How are you?' Mo-Mo: 'Tink God good!' He said, 'You know heaven not going to be no fun.' Me: 'Why do you say that?' Mo-Mo: 'Ther' not be no rrock and rroll (he rolls the r) and no Michael Jackson.' Me: 'You won't care because you will have Jesus.' Mo-Mo; 'No! I want Disco.'
I've been doing alterations for a Dry Cleaners in Pelham called, The Royal Valet, for the past 7-8 years. I have now working with the 3rd owner and they have been there for about 4 yrs. now. They are Mahammad (whom I call Mo-Mo) and his wife Julie, from Pakistan. Mo-Mo told me that everybody calls her Julie because her real name is too hard to pronounce. Mahamad is a HOOT. He cracks me and Crystal up with the things he says and the jokes he tells. Mo-Mo always has a joke for you or if your sick, he always has a cure. Today I got Daniel to go to Mahamad's to pick up some work he had for me. Mo-Mo will call me and say, 'Vickie, come on o-vair. I have lots of wo-ik fo' you!' When D got back with the alterations there was something I needed to get some instructions on from Mo-Mo. We were talking and Mo-Mo told me that one of them was a re-do because the first time I did it his wife had marked it wrong. I told him 'Sure, Mo-Mo. Julie gets blamed for all your short-comings.' He said, 'Last nite I cuss my wife out.' He said, 'I cuss and cuss at her picture and when she get home, I was a pussy-cat.' He somehow brought Danny into the conversation and was saying something about drinking beer. I said, 'Danny has never tasted beer, Mahammad. He has never even tasted coffee.' Mo-Mo said,' Tell Danny, Jejus (Jesus) drank coffee so it's ok he drink coffee.' One day, I went by there and there was a guy in there and Mo-Mo said, 'Hey Vickie. I want you to met my brother, Mike.' I said 'Mike? How did he come up with the name like Mike and you got Mahammad?' He said, 'I have three brother and we all name Mahammad. You go home, call Danny, Mahammad!' You will be hearing many more stories of Mahammad, some old, some new. Maybe I can get a picture of him.
