Hey, I am out at a client today on my weekly visit to the city, so I won’t be doing a lot of posting until tonight.
I will however accept questions. Especially planted questions because they are the best kind.
I spent a couple of hours weeding the backyard yesterday because we are going to host a brunch for the family after my granddaughters first Holy Communion. The wife insisted I hire a gardener but the guys I called all needed weeks notice to fit me in. Even illegal immigrants schedule their jobs on their I-phones these days. WTF?
Anyways I just blew through it like I usually did. We used to plant a lot in the backyard when the wife worked at the restaurant as we had big blowout barbeques every weekend. They were great because a lot of the guests were waitresses and bartenders and bar backs and they pitched right in to clean up when everything was done. Now it’s all up to Grandpa.
Tomorrow I will be working on some of the food. You know salads that will stay until Sunday. Potato Salad. A macaroni salad with basil, ricotta salada and cherry tomatoes and stuff like that.
Plus shopping for the party. And the wife is on a panel discussion for the plus size industry in a big event on Friday. So your humble correspondent will be busting his ass trying to get everything done.
I wish Laura Bush, Kelly Clarkson, Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig were able to lend a hand. Lazy bastards..

It sounds like you're just manning up, taking care of what needs to be done.
ReplyDeleteWe'll survive!

You mean like in The Little Red Hen?
We'll need to see the recipes, of course!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a cold crisp salad when it's 90+ degrees outside. With a nice Peroni to wash it down.
ReplyDeleteHey, run over to Wal-Mart and get a pint or two of their potato salad. I'm certain it'll dazzle the taste buds of all those guests.
ReplyDeleteSorry but I always make my own potato salad.
ReplyDeleteAlso believe it or not but there is no Wal-Mart in New York City.
Really...no Wal-Mart? Hmmmm, I guess we're even, because we have no Macy's here in western NC.
ReplyDeleteWe do have moonshine for our garden parties.
...and tobacco is considered a vegetable in our state.
ReplyDeleteGovernor Patterson is considered a vegetable in our state

ReplyDeleteYou're just lucky he'll never see that here!
That's true, he does turn a blind eye to most things these days.
ReplyDeleteSo to speak.
He might take a dim view of this thread.
ReplyDeleteYou know, they have good ass-kicking prosthetics these days. You can only have one for your standing leg, though. Having one for your kicking leg is considered an unfair advantage.
