It has been a really busy week. Lots of orders to get out. We had to go to the fabric show. A whole big bunch of people coming to the store. Just busy every minute.
I am starting to fall asleep in my pasta.
That can't be good.

Fai una pianta faccia nella pasta!
#italianlessons
This is a very tasty pasta from Marco Polo. Fettuccine Al Vino Rosso – their famous red wine fettuccine tossed in a parmigiano wheel.
They cook the pasta at the table and then place it in a big wheel of cheese and toss it and toss it till it is totally covered in rich tasty parmigaino cheese.
It even feels great when you fall asleep and go face first right into the fettuccine
How does that old gangster saying go? Mangia Napoli e poi dorme?
BTW, that's a very good photograph. It's artsy and reminds me of a Dutch van Eyck because of the chiaroscuro and the depth. It reduces Troop to a humble renaissance man.
Don't fall asleep in the soup..you'll drown. A great scene in Mary Hartman.
You have a mighty grip on that shovel, er, fork, Troop. I hope you are up to the task at hand.
That food fucking looks amazing.
Just dropped the rare clumber at the exclusive "crate free" doggy daycare. I feel awful leaving the beautiful animal, but if I didn't make the big bucks he wouldn't have the life he has.
Heading to DC in two hours. Won't be back until Wednesday.
Miss me long time. Fucky, sucky.
No posts on Troop because I will be in back to back strategic high level meetings as well as dindins and receptions. I really need to bring my A game. It's all about showing up though, that's my motto-just show up.
Accomy's are 5 stars, natch.
My tits are hard, clothes prada, banana and brooks brothers and it's show time. Shoes and handbag are also Prada.
Take care.
Have a great week.
tits.
Agree Chick that IS a damn good photo, loved how she waited until Troop's head had cleared the window in the back.
My first reaction to that photo was, no bull, the raising of lazarus. As per chick's comment there's a painting by an English painter, early 20th century, can't think of his name, with just that title, The Raising Of Lazarus, where Lazarus is having his first resurrected meal and it bears a resemblance to Trooper taking much needed sustenance after feeling faint from overwork...or something.
Okay. I'm back after googling. The painting is called Lazarus Breaks His Fast by the English painter Walter Sickert. That's why I made the connection between this very atmospheric picture of Troop eating and the picture of Lazarus eating, I guess after his resurrection.
...it's all about showing up though, that's my motto-just show up.
Hey Titus, that's what Woody Allen said, that 90% of success is showing up. Don't know as I agree but it's repeated ad nauseum by every Tom, Dick and Harry...and you. But if it works for you that's all that counts. See? I can be nice. Eats my gut but I can.
Isn't it?
Yay, comfirmation.
This is the second photo of Troop that has been likened to art on canvass. The first was that photo of him and Lisa that looked like American Gothic. I think that this latest one rivals anything that the TOPtress took and blogged as art.
I submit this great photo be called: Truck Driver Eating Eyetalian Spaghetti
We now know what to get Trooper for Christmas..Bibs!
That fucking thing goes on your lap you NYC Hoosier!
From the future New York Times which reviewed Lisa’s collected photographic works:
Next we come to the portrait we have a simple subject “Giacomo Mangiando” [James Eating]
Scholars have debated the photograph for years---from the simple oil-on-canvas texture of the white table cloth and bib, to the earnest yet genuine hunger of the eating peasant, the bowing of the head as if in prayer while the overhead the illumination and partially obscured cross of the window portray reverent humility; the vitrine depth of the shelves and fenestration framing the simple subject’s shoulders and adding depth imbue the subject with erudition and outward vision. All of these compositional elements were carefully framed by the artist and captured for posteriority.
Fenerating The Burgher of York.
I tried to run my pretentious "review" through the blablameter bullshit detector linked at TOP and it choked!
Apparently, it needs at least 3 sentences. When I inserted a full stop after "humilty" it scored a .17
I call bullshit on the bullshit detector.
'Twas a nicely crafted review. Maybe the bullshit meter was confounded by posteriority, not knowing whether to go for the long or short view.
