Birthdays!
Just a little bash I threw for the birthdays of two of my favorite girls.
Zippy checks out the groceries.
“Missing Hell. They ain’t missin’ nothin’!”
“This damned receipt is as long as I am!”
“You paid WHAT for steak for this shin-dig?”
“And all these shrimp…”
“…and all I get is DRY CATFOOD!”
“Won’t be much of a party. I don’t see catnip on the list.”
Mound of meat.
The scene is set.
A Cook’s work is never done…
Let the People arrive…
That’s B-day girl Barb in pink.
And the other B-day girl Ros supervises. I never did get around to putting shoes on.
Brian prepares to grill corn on the cob Indian style. That would be grilled corn with lime squeezed on and then rolled in a combination of salt and Indian chili powder.
Brian advertises one of the products they carry at their store.
For some reason Special Someone finds this brew particularly pleasing.
This is what happens when you sit too close to a smoking lantern.
Me with the B-day girls.
Let the eating commence! The menu was grilled ribeye, tequila-lime marinated grilled shrimp, BBQ pasta salad, Long Beach cole slaw and grilled corn.
Special Someone models his new shirt. The lanterns, by-the-way, are filled with citronella oil. A decorative approach to providing a relatively bug-free environment.
Don’t look now, but Tommy’s doing dishes!

Looks like a blast. Special Someone’s new shirt is cute!
And…holy MEAT!
You really are the meat man aren’t you?
WHAT grocery store puts the “missing child” ads on its bags?! That’s AWESOME!!
At my grocer of choice, they use bags that are discarded in bulk from.. anywhere. It’s called Marc’s. This weekend, my groceries went home in bags from Big Lots. It’s kooky, but the prices can’t be beat!
You sure party a lot.
your meat is fuckin beautiful !! i hope you didn’t let anyone have it well done.
i see the damn snow finally melted up there !
If nothing more than a fly on the wall, I’d love to
attend one of your parties. They always look like such fun.
Thanks for the photos, it’s always good to get a
glimps of those you talk about.. and yourself of course.

Thank goodness you have Zippy Kitty to manage your grocery finances…I wish my cat was even close to that useful.
