  • Thanksgiving Feast!

    So I'm hosting my first mini-Thanksgiving meal this year. And I'm cooking ALLLLL of it (except the Turkey and Ham, I'm ordering that!).
    Here's a list:

    - Homemade stuffing
    - Baked Macaroni and Cheese
    - Mashed Potatoes
    - Sweet Potato Casserole
    - Green Beans
    - Peas and Corn

    For dessert, my mom is making an apple pie. Isn't it lovely?!?
    Ok, so the guest list is going to be super small. Me, my husband, and Adrianna, my awesome 17 year old stepdaughter. Plus we have plans to see "New Moon" that night at midnight. Oh Edward... swoon!

    Anywayz, hope you all have a pleasant and safe holiday.

  • What the F*%$ happened to Al Gore's teeth?!?

    Fast forward to 19 min and 45 seconds and watch carefully. My respect for our former VP dipped quite a bit when I got a look at his bottom choppers. They look like ancient yellowing fish bones.

  • Favorite Commercial on TV right now!!

    From Ash

    Hey Peeps, I just have to say, I have become OBSESSED with this Gap commercial. I love it! Maybe because it reminds me of my heyday as a PFHS cheerleader

    Enjoy!

    Why are Virginia Tech fans so obnoxious? Living in the Northern VA area, they're everywhere! We get it - you didn't go a shittier college but we don't need to see a stupid flag waving from the front of your house.

    My theory is that these people have no identity and are cattle that would like to be back at the farm with the rest of the cows. Maybe? Maybe not... but try getting some grown up clothes.

    Look at these dorks and you will understand.

  • Yummy!

    Windy City Red Hots.......Okay here is the dealio! Everyone loves hotdogs. Grilled, boiled, steamed, baked, fried, sauteed, deep fried, and raw. You name a way to cook it and people like it. To this point in my life the best hotdog I ever had was from a vendor cart in Boston back in the mid 80's. The cart was run by a guy I knew only as True Mucking Meyer. God I miss my uncle Joe. We would stop on our run and grab a few a piece. Boiled with kraut and some nice potato buns!!!!! The cart was posted up in front of the Massachusetts College of Art on the corner of Longwood and Brookline Avenue's.

    About four months ago my wife and I was channel surfing and having a hard time finding anything to watch. There was some documentary called hot dog something. Well I watched it in awe. The next day I was at a cookout at my sister in law's house and naturally I brought up what I watched! Low and behold my sister in law's husband mentioned a place out by the Blue Mount Nursery. Windy City Red Hots. Let me tell you! I have worked my way thru the menu trying everything but the Pizza Puff ( for obvious reasons ) and they have by far the best dogs ever. It is simply the BOMB. I highly recommend the the Italian combo..If you are driving west on Route 7 stop in tell Angel that Southie sent you.

     

     

  • Two weeks

    It has been that since I have blogged last. My apologies. The wife is still swamped with work, so I still get to play the role of "Bloggie." Wow. How should I start?

    Well recently I went to the see the movie The Box. I have never in my life felt like I wasted $22.00 more than I did that night. Where do I start? I absolutely love Mr.Whoopi Goldberg as an actor ( Frank Langella ). Second I despise, no I straight up can't stand Cameron Diaz. So its going to be a toss up decided by James Marsden. Well James didn't deliver. The movie was easily the worst movie I have seen  this millennium. There wasn't any redeeming thing about it. Two hours of pain and misery. I am glad my wife was riding shotgun on this one. I wouldn't have been able to endure by myself.

    I checked out a new dining option in my hood. Bistro-Bistro. Saltimbocca like it is supposed to be. Yummy.

    My Boxing business is picking up. I am quickly approaching my yearly goal. I think I may have hit the big time. I just cashed checks from Don King. No they didn't bounce. Speaking of boxing a colleague of mine has asked me to help him train. As much as I would love to, and I did try. I can't make the commitment necessary to assist in Money Mike's endeavor.

    Almost mid November which means holidays. My daughter is coming to see us for Thanksgiving. I am excited. This also means Christmas is coming. Any one have any suggestions what I should get the wife for X-Mas?

    And for the record. There is nothing worse than getting stuck behind someone driving a Toyota Prius on a one lane highway. I now know why the are energy efficient. They don't have gas pedals. What an ugly car.
