Thoughts On The Week

Give Me Park Avenue
After my time out in the country, I spent a week of complete opposition to all that is hick.
I ate at fancy restaurants.* Between my grandma and the aunts, we hit just about everything Wisconsin doesn’t offer (including In-n-Out burger).
My cousin is a pastry chef (who married a chef**)at a great little place in Antioch, [...]

I Like to Cook
It shouldn’t come as any surprise. I’m Italian. It’s inherited. Innate. When you’re Italian, you like Frank Sinatra, you eat bread with everything, you have a temper, you are good at love and guilt, and you cook.

Why Do I . . .
-Are you enjoying your breakfast?
-I don’t know if I like pop-tarts.
-Did you fall on your head while you were sleeping?

Don’t Judge
This afternoon I had to go to the doctor, and when I stopped at Wally World to fill my prescription, I used the time (and the car borrowed from a wonderful friend) to pick up some items and groceries I needed. Milk, bread, shampoo, all that good stuff. And other things.
A girl on my night [...]

My Week(end)
Last night, we got done with practice and it started to sprinkle. The heavens looked dark, so I grabbed my gear, left my shinguards and cleats on and jumped aboard my bike to beat the storm home. It was tough going through the grass, but once I got to pavement . . . thwub thwub [...]

I have found
Someone else who shares my Nutella obsession.
Even better, someone who can cook. I think I shall try this somtime. Whenever I get time to actually cook. So, three months maybe.
