Memorial Day Weekend

T Minus 1 hour until we begin our journey to Chicago for the weekend. I recieved an email this morning that truley shows what has become of the patriotism in this country. The picutre above shows not only the lack of respect for each other and our soldiers and country, but in my opinion, the plain ignorance of everyone. Teach kids in school about thier country and whats is proper and forget the long division, no one uses that anyways, we have calculators or our phones for crying out loud. All i'm saying is this is disgraceful. Knowlege is power. Ignorance may be bliss, but it sure makes you look dumb.

Have a good weekend all and be safe

P'schetti's

I am back baby. I bought a new computer and it gets juiced up with internet later this afternoon.

I thought i would share a wonderful exprience Courtney and I had last night. We got carry out from P'schetti's, an italian restaurant. 1 word...Fantastic. We had a Meatball Sub, garlic cheese bread, pizza bread with pepperoni, and toasted ravioli. ok...i know what you are thinking, thats a lot of bread, and my answer is yes, it was a lot of bread, good bread. I recommend this place to anyone who likes to eat. I don't know if i'd sit down there and eat but i'd surely take it with me and pig out at home. P'schetti's has now moved into the coveted top 5 spot of mine. I plan to run through their menu like a 26.2 mile marathon...without stopping and with the occational sips of water. P'schetti's you do it right.

Wedding

There is so much to say about how happy Courtney and I are to have found each other and to now have each other for the rest of our lives. She is the love of my life, and I still get butterflies in my stomach when i wake up to her next to me, or see her walk through the door to me. Thank you to all of you who made it to the wedding it was the best day I've ever had. From the rehearsal dinner to the reception dinner it might have been the greatest two days of feasting i've ever been a part of.

I have my wife and a full belly always and nothing makes me happier. I was going to upload a bunch of pictures but blogger couldn't handle the size of the picture. shame shame. here is something else to look at....i had this for lunch today....2 of them.....Mobile on the Run hot dogs! great stuff

Hello to all my faithful readers. I will make no indication that this post is being made. Only the few people who still have faith in "the blog" will have the pleasure of reading today.

So much has happened that i'm not quite sure where to start...

Well here is a good spot to begin....dinner....not just any dinner, but a carryout of feasts fit for a king and queen. We started our journey at Schnucks to pick up ingredients for Courtney and Libby's Holly Cookies. We then progressed to two simple phone calls, strategically placed of course. One to Dewey's Pizza in Kirkwood and one to Fortel's Pizza Den in Kirkwood. We promptly ordered 2 Calzone's with Ricotta Cheese, Extra Mozzarella, Pepperoni, and Roasted Red Peppers, as well as a Peppercorn Ranch Salad from Dewey's. We then placed an order for Mozzarella Stick at Fortel's. Being that we are pros at this type of "carry-out" ordering, as i walked into each place the Cazone's popped out of the oven and the mozzarella sticks were dripping from grease from the fryer. This type of order is tough to stand the ride all the way home, but we fought the urge to dig into the bag for a quick stick. This meal all in all was fabulous, just the right amount of food, and i am now smelling cookies baking as i write, amazing,

More to come, stay with me now, i have to get something to eat...

New Orleans

New Orleans

Life Goes on....

A special thanks to the insightful words of Big B. He obviously took time to spellchekc and grammar check his post and that is NOT what this blog is all about. I’ll tell you this though; it does make for a nicer read! The trip down to New Orleans was one for the books, from Kegs to Beers, Absinthe to Slushies, Hand Grenades to Atomic Wedgies, I was quite happy. Even though he booked my bachelor party on the GAYEST weekend in New Orleans, it was still a blast. The teams were picked and we stayed shirts and everyone else went skins. From a guy getting off the elevator peeling an orange stopping and saying, “oooooo you’re cute…” to a 5am shirtless passerby asking Jason Brad and I if, “Ya’ll Queer,” we simply replied “no thank you.” A bum exclaimed to me at one point that, “My Cat Had Puppies!” I told him congratulations of course (didn’t want to be rude) and moved on and he chuckled to himself as he smiled a 2 tooth smile and took a sip of his Colt 45 40oz.….classic. I will say this I had so much fun, and would go back in a second. Having an upstairs balcony bar to ourselves our own music and a personal bartender a nice touch. I will tell you it is quite a sight to see 9 guys drool over one chick that they all knew they had no chance with. Although this “Allison” is the love of all of your lives you must press on to greater women who don’t have 2 kids and are divorced and live in New Orleans. My voice was shot by day two from smoking so many cigs which I vow to never touch again. “Give it all you got!” “Give it all you got!” Here are a few more food critiques that I experienced below….enjoy….thanks for the ride boys on the bigger and better things…Who is next...?

In addition to the crawfish pie and soft-shell crab po-boy I enjoyed a few different items that were quite good. 1. Crawfish po-boy: what could be better than a sub style baguette, with fried crawfish with peppers onions an cheese, man that was good. 2. Fried Gator po-boy: Man was this good, taste like chicken with a zing of Cajun spices. The kicker was that in the basket of fries were hidden gems (gator bites that fell out into the fries). 3. Dirty water Hot Dogs: who could pass up a hard working street vender for an 8 inch hotdog with chili cheese and relish? NOT ME. I had about 3-4 that I can remember. Food at its best. Now I’m not a relish eater, but I thought I’d give it a whirl since that’s how he prepared it and I had no choice! I was pleasantly surprised at the explosion of taste that took place. What could be better to wash it all down than a nice Hurricane or the ever dangerous Hand Grenade?

Gentleman,

We must go onward to the Rehearsal, the Rehearsal Dinner, the Wedding, Pictures, and Reception. An I’ll be thinking of you all when I am laying on the beach in the Dominican eating pounds of Pineapple drinking ridiculously fruity drinks, and you can use your imagination…
