Saucy Sauce

We use quite a bit of barbecue sauce. The kids like their nuggets dipped in it, we have barbecued chicken occasionally, and often they just want to use it for dipping other things. Any meat that is a little dry, barbecue sauce is the answer.

We've become connoisseurs of barbecue sauces. We've tried all the different flavors of Kraft, K.C. Masterpiece, and every other brand on the market, including local, off-brands. Our favorite, hands down, is Jack Daniels. We like it so much that we even use the Jack Daniels marinade when we have steak.

One night while out having dinner, Dane decided his meat was dry and he needed a little barbecue sauce. Typically, Don or I order for the children, but we're giving them a little more leeway to teach them how to talk to a service person. Deanna, for instance, will ask for refills of her drink herself.

We gave Dane permission to ask the waiter for sauce. When the waiter returned, Dane said, "Some Jack Daniels should would taste good with this meal!"

Don and I quickly looked over our shoulders for any diners sporting Department of Family and Children's Services badges or policemen in uniform. Apparently, Dane needs a little more work.
