Not Hawaiian and not a mutt.
========================

Kate said she was a mutt, not Jon. And Jon said he is Korean with Hawaiian influences. Kate didn't flub that.

You knew what a shrew she was to Jon when they sat there on the couch and Jon shrunk away from Kate's death-ray stares when he casually referred to bulgogi and "goki"; what his family called it.
You know, his Korean family.
Kate insisted that the familial nickname was verboten.

I mean, why?

====

Because he outdid her by making the one meal he knew how to cook and it pissed her off. She can't cook no matter how hard she tries to convince herself she can. No one betters Ms Competitive on anything. She has to win in every arena and if she can't, the opponent is suspended from the game. There are no compromises with her.

She's still competing with Jon even though he's dead.

My question is, if her fans try to make bulgogi the way you described she prepared it, do you think they'll make it twice? I doubt it. lol

PatK said...

Has anyone else realized that as far as Twitter goes, Kate's supah fans hardly battle with non-fans anymore? Seems to me they've tucked their tails and given up. Perhaps that whole BV fiasco is what did it, because I seriously doubt any of them have the brains to finally realize they've been "had" all these years by Kate's phony show and life.

All that seems to be left are fangirl tweens and teens who hate their own mothers and think living with Kate would be so dreamy. Well, and Milo, of course.

But you have to admit she treated him like a dog.

Formerly Duped said...

I thought it was funny Alexis did not seem to know she was part Korean or where Kate's ancestors were from. They had discussions on this topic when they were very little, at the Korean dinner Jon prepared. I guess it was a scripted discussion, but it seemed silly. The kids are almost 12!

Pat, that's so true. And they probably hate their mothers because their mothers tell them no you are not going to Florida and Mexico this year you're getting a part time job this summer and saving for school, we just went on a nice vacation a few months ago.

And no you're not getting new luggage your old luggage works just fine.

I see how they relate to Kate.

Is Milo admitting that Kate abused her children? These tweets are in reply to a tweet Goody made that was obviously about Robert.

Fired Up 4 Kate ‏@MiloandJack 14h14 hours ago
@BarbGilmer @msgoody2shoes21 She was young, stressed overwhelmed w/8 small kids. I've lost my temper w/just ONE misbehaving! LOL #Human

So Kate's abuse of her children were just "mistakes", and it's okay because it happened 10 years ago. And most of all, God(and Milo) has forgiven her for these "mistakes".

Isn't this the same reasoning the Duggar fans used to defend Josh Duggar?

It's pretty sad when someone calls physical and emotional abuse of children a "mistake".

They did not show her prepping the chicken. It was already cut up and marinated. She grilled but I think that was the extent of it. Would not be surprised the house was stocked with groceries when they arrived.

@fidosmommy Now that you mention that,it reminds me of how 1 Kate defender said she didn't believe the book because no media outlet offered him an interview about the book.But i think its how Hoffman approaches it.I know no matter what he saids,Kate's die hard fans will just write him off as a vile hater but if he shows proof and doesn't say anything vile about Kate then i think more wont write him off as some hater trying to get a person he doesn't like off the air.

Tucker's Mom said...

Kate said she was a mutt, not Jon. And Jon said he is Korean with Hawaiian influences. Kate didn't flub that.
******
If Kate told the kids they were in any part Hawaiian, she flubbed. The kids are not in any way influenced by Hawaii, having never lived there in 2 generations.
Jon's mother had Hawaiian influences culturally, but not genetically, and to say the kids have anything to do with Hawaii (other than eating Jon's Hawaiian rice) when speaking of their genes is incorrect.
I'm sure Kate isn't a Heinz 57-she just doesn't acknowledge her parents are alive.
Well, except when she throws them under the bus.

Tucker's Mom said...

I don't know if exposing Kate's abuse of the kids is going to make a lick of difference to her die-hard fans. But the fact that they can overlook her grifting, crying poor and taking money from people with far, far less than her when she was amassing millions is a mystery.
Always will be.

Really Milo? What happened to the trash mans book of lies?

Rhymes with Witch said...

Leaps that whole BV fiasco is what did it, because I seriously doubt any of them have the brains to finally realize they've been "had" all these years by Kate's phony show and life. 3

They were also had by BV. I think some were expecting a payout from BV's lawsuit against the "haters".
Perhaps they thought they could live the high life like Kate just by virtue of supporting her.

Kirkland said: "I watched 30 minutes of the show online (not on my TV) and it literally was the most boring thing I've ever watched. Think watching toast toast or water boiling. That's what it's like to watch the gosselin kids shop for suitcases. boring boring."

Kirkland, I have to disagree. Watching water start to boil is MUCH more interesting than anything tfmjg and crew could do.
I'm still bewildered at people finding cute little kids on tv interesting. I prefer to interact with cute little kids that I know irl, or I'm related to. They are real, not fantasies or edited for mad consumption.

Mel said...

She could have used it as an opportunity to discuss her own heritage, Pennsylvania Dutch, but no, she was too busy disparaging Jon to even realize that her own heritage is less mixed than his.

--------------------------------
When we went to Hawaii, we rented from the vacation rentals by owner website. All that sort of thing was provided by the owners: sometimes in the suite, sometime you had to ask. In addition, there were some toiletries and basic non-perishable groceries. Some were provided by the owners, and some were just left by previous renters who didn't want to haul it back to the mainland. We abandoned a half-full huge bottle of sunblock and some other items. Renting in Hawaii is almost like having a PA!

Blowing In The Wind said...

Isn't this the same reasoning the Duggar fans used to defend Josh Duggar?

---------------

I was just thinking the very same thing. Josh made "mistakes" and the sexual deviance followed him into adulthood to the point where he solicited paid prostitutes. Can the sheeple be rest assured that Kate's "mistakes" aren't ongoing? We have photos of her spanking a child; reports from those inside the home hearing her wail on a child in the bathroom; pictures of the wooden happy spoon in her car; investigation by child services. Are the sheeple sure that these "mistakes" aren't still happening today, perhaps not physically, but emotional abuse takes its toll as well?

But at least God, Goody and Milo have forgiven her. That's what is important in the whole scheme of things. Oh, and Milo, if you're young and stressed, you take time out and get yourself under control. You don't grab a child by the hair, spank him as hard as you can to the point where you think you are seriously going to injure the child. That's a whole lot more than just "losing your temper."

Has Milo forgiven Kate for the reported animal abuse? I guess she was young and stressed then, too. What about crying poverty and taking love offering from parishioners when she knew they were in the process of settling on a million dollar house? Stress caused that?

Jon isn't alive nor are the haters or Gina Neild so why should her parents be any different lol.

‏@TMZ

Kate Gosselin is AWFUL in this brand new clip -- and what she's allowing her children to do is even worse. http://tmz.me/zxBdanS Wasn't TMZ the tabloid that would always defend Kate and make negative articles about Jon?@PatK i've seen some fans like Milo try to deflect on the recent media articles about both Robert's book and Kate's awful parenting.Basically the same arguments they used before.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

KIAT (#8), wow, all 4 of Gladys' tweets imply that she believes TFW did those heinous things, but that it was a long time ago, and she's forgiven. Not a word about Robert or Jon or lies or exaggerations or jealousy. Interesting.

But then how will Milo worship her queen if she get locked away.

I sort of wonder if Kate's embarrassed by being PA Dutch. Not exotic enough. Too plain. Too mediocre.
Shame-it's such a treasure in so many ways.

Bless Kate's family for staying mum while she continually disparages and eschews them.

It's nice that the fans can bestow forgiveness upon TFW for beating her children, and yet Jon's brief skirt-chasing period after his hellish marriage has forever branded him a drunken frat boy.

^^^^


They don't see that.

They also don't understand that they have no standing to "forgive" Kate for this. It is her children who were wronged here, not them, and the children are the ones to decide if and when they can give her forgiveness for this. They might not want to give her a pass on this, and that's their right. The idea that a sheeple thinks they have any right to forgive a parent for something that parent did to their child is appalling.

It's a wonderful heritage to have and be proud of, but I think you're on the money. It's very local to her, lots of people have that, and it's sort of homespun, so it's not very glamorous.

I bet to her it's much more exciting to say you're South African, or Greek.

In PA, it feels like everyone has that heritage. Sometimes when you have what everyone else has you don't feel like bragging about it. That's how a 16 year old thinks anyway.

chefsummer #Leh said...

I love my mixed heritage.

One of my great-grand father is white/Irish and the other GGF is Asian and my grandmother are African American.

P.J. said...

So, Jon makes Hawaiian rice and that makes him Hawaiian.

I guess I made french fries a time or two, and Tandoori Chicken once. Boy, will my family be surprised when I tell them I'm French/Indian.

redbird said...

I am calling it.

When the date fiasco show airs and it flops, she will push for a appearance on the show Who Do You Think You Are. That is why we are hearing chatter about heritage. This is all totally snark.

She should be ashamed calling her kids mutts. She threw Jon under the bus with this, this way. She called herself a mutt and the kids mutts. But she didn't call Jon a mutt. She totally separated them from him.

Wow, wouldn't of been spectacular if Alexis would of said after being called mutts to have said, but, Mommy, I thought we were PALINS! OTH!

Well, you learn something new everyday. Thanks, PJ! I didn't know I was Italian. But since I often make pasta, pizza, chicken milanese, antipasto I guess I am. Buon Natale to all!!

She does seem to have a burning need to be seen as special, extra special, one of a kind.

Thus 8 kids. And nobody better try to compete with her, either!

LaLaLandNoMore said...

A lot of us bought in to the "loving mother illusion" many years ago, but when the Gosselins became too uncomfortable to watch the obvious came out loud and clear. I cannot believe anyone would continue to support this shrew and be entertained by watching children vomit on a fishing boat. How horrible to be dragged out to sea by a mother who knows her children get sea sick. The very idea that anyone would film it is unbelievable. Mean, mean woman. Too bad Jon couldn't stop the filming forever. Still wonder why TLC hasn't cut her loose?

redbird said...

I wish Jon would post his KBBQ recipe. It was hilarious that Jon posted the Coke bottle with Kate's name on it. I think he just opened the door of the cooler at the store and reached in and there it was. It was a fluke. I bet it surprised him.

If he saw it and reached for it, who cares! It was great and shows what a nice guy he is. She would never post something like that.

You know, I watched the show pretty regularly and got a completely different reading almost immediately. That will happen. I saw a mother overly concerned about cleanliness (scrubbing the kitchen floors 3 times a day for example) and being blase about all the help she received, and almost totally removed from the children she had wanted so badly. There seemed to be an emotional curtain between them.

To get Jon's recipe just google Jon Gosselin recipe for bulgogi and there it is in all its glory. Complete with accurate measurements and directions. No problem.

I didn't much like her from the beginning either but what I did do in the beginning is give her a lot of free passes like the sheeple do. She's been written so many free passes we must have destroyed a forest in the process. I don't write those anymore, nope.
