Jews Can’t Eat Pigs

Damn I love me some Memphis Blues. The MEAT, the SAUCE, even the SLAW, all of it so good. Not to mention the Corn Bread, Fries, and Potato Salad. I can’t handle it. I’m drool right now.

Pat made a special request to stuff his face full of pork and we obliged.

It was just before this photo that Chad went to sit down after ordering the beer and blew out his knee. He is an invalid now.

It looks better in this light

SWEET SWEET GLORIOUS PLATTER OF MEAT AND EVERY GOOD THING!

My plate

My first plate. Notice the Lemon Aid in the background that has Jack Daniels in it. So hardcore.

Too busy eating

Gone

Devoured. For some reason we never eat the chicken though. Thankfully we found out that we can actually substitute the chicken for more pulled pork if we want next time. Excellent!

Poor Chicken

Poor Miss Chicken.

Andrea

Andrea and Tania joined us after we had already finished every speck of meat on the plate (aside from the chicken) and ordered up their own mini plates of goodness.

We then spent the majority of the evening talking Mad Men and thinking of baby names for Elise and Ryan. Long story short, Ryan & Chad have made a bet on when Elise & Ryan will have their first child. Chad is betting on soon. We then discussed how much Dario looks like his Dad with his new moustache is sporting for Movbember and how Pat likes to CHEW Advil. Yes, you heard that right. We were all quite grossed out by that.

My Boys

After dinner we went home because Patrick had a headache from having too much fun for 4 days straight (Vancouver will do that to you). So he and Chad cuddled up on the couch and perpared themselves for 3 hours of War related TV watching. Look at him all wrapped up in the yellow blanky! So cute!

From this picture it actually looks like my house is clean, but that’s a big lie.

Tonight, more adventures. Tomorrow, maybe some relaxing?

 

The Return of the Prodigal Son

You are going to have to be patient. Pat has returned and as a result of that, this blog post is going to be 10 times longer then usual.

I mean, you can’t really cut back on photos when the photo King comes to town can you?

So the evening started off with a dinner party of sorts.

While it was all cooking, the boys decided to dig up the videos from our camping trip. We were pissing ourselves laugh. I mean actually on the floor. I think Pat has a picture of me rolling around somewhere.

As you can see in the corner of this picture, Krista joined us just as dinner was over, so we had a shot in celebration and then backed up and headed over to the Cambie.

Stolen Chicken

Krista had not eaten dinner yet so Chad secretly stole some of Elises for her.

Should I be offended that I made Elise dinner and then she bought more food at the Cambie?

Ok, well I stole some fries too.

It is really too hard to go through 200 hilarious photos and pick out the best for a post. I am just not that picky and want to show everything.

Pat has his pictures up but they aren’t in a specific album so I can’t link it (make a friggin album already Zaph!) but you can look through them here.

This was such a good night. Such a good night on so many levels. It was actually the first time we didn’t get a picnic table all to ourselves but having everyone stand up just allowed us all to mingle more. Haha we all got drunk and I tried to get a guy to by me a song by Eazy E on the Jukebox but it never played. Bastards.

You can view all my shots here.

Now we are off to Memphis Blues for lots and lots of meat!!!

Another Day Another Dollar

CIMG0746

The weekend is over, but the fun hasn’t stopped yet.

I have 200 pictures from Friday night at the Cambie that I have to title and then I will post.

I have a bunch of pictures from the banquet still to upload, but I will wait to get the professional ones from Dario & Pat before I post those.

Yesterday we were late for every event we were suppose to attend because all we wanted to do was sleep and not exist.

Tonight we eat pork. Tomorrow we listen to music and get drunk. Wednesday we celebrate Darios birthday Italian style.

Right now I have to pump out some stuff for work and come up with a Christmas list for the MIL.

My body aches and my head is fuzzy.

The things we do for our favorite Jew.

I Want Meatballs

So it was Wednesday, on Wednesday, and what does Wednesday mean? It means its time to hang out with Claudia and Alicia. Because you know, we aren’t allowed to hang out any other day during the week.

We started off the evening with Alicia being highly racist. At least her tits look fabulous. Enjoy.

Racist

And we carried on the evening with Claudia wearing her sweater inside out. She did this all day.

Backwards

We decided to go to Ikea because Claudia wanted to make some purchases and since she doesn’t have a car she needs someone to drive her. Plus the stuff she was looking at buying was heavy, and she is tiny. This is where we stepped in.

Getting Food
So Excited

We decided to go to IKEA for dinner as well. Now I have eaten the hot dogs and the cinnamon buns, and I know they have a little restaurant upstairs but I’ve never been so I didn’t know what to expect. Alicia assured me it was a good idea.

Ikea Dinner

Oh, I’m sorry, whats this? A bottle of Wine, Pasta, Garlic Bread, and Cake for $8. OMG!!! Greatest discovery of my LIFE!

Now, as an Italian, I am very particular about my pasta, but for 99 cents this stuff was damn good. The noodles were little al dente but the sauce was money.

" "
3 meals cost us $25

We were in heaven. Everything was so cheap and looked so good.

Thank you Ikea, thank you.

WINE!

Claudia was beyond giddy, and with the day we all had, a glass of wine was well deserved. I still can’t get over Ikea selling booze. Its that even legal???

I told Chad we are going to Ikea for our anniversary dinner next year. I want to go back right now.

I still can’t get over the food.

Karla

Oh hey guys, pose for me would you?

Claudia wants this table

Denim Vest?

I don’t think Ikea is up to date on their fashions.

These two girls are trouble.

Hey

Hummmmm

Is it just me or does my body look weird here? Like my stomach is sticking out or something?

Chad is insanely anal about the side of wine glasses we have. We bought 6 a long time ago from Ikea that are actually quite large. I enjoy drinking from them but he HATES them. He uses the medium size stemless glasses we have for dinner and the small stemless glasses for lunch. Anyways, gets annoyed when we have to serve wine in the GIANT glasses and wanted to buy a set of smaller ones (that we have no room for) so I was looking at the new ones Ikea carries, but they still weren’t right. Srsly. SO PICKY.

I love Cows

When my Dad lived on the farm they use to have a cowhide rug (naturally). It was so beautiful and I loved it. Who knows where it is now, but I so want one of my own. Ikea sells them for a friggin arm and a leg, but I guess we have no room for one. Maybe for the new house, just maybe, I will get Chad to buy me one. PLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSEEE.

I live here

Oh hey look. Chad.

Walking Out

Excellent shopping trip guys!

For 30 bucks I got…

  • 2 rolls of Christmas Wrapping Paper
  • 3 packs of Candle Sticks
  • 2 Glass Bowls
  • 1 pack of Napkins
  • 1 pack of Bag Clips
  • 1 Pant Hanger

Hahaha, such a great collection of random crap.

Stuck

What do you do when you are stuck in the middle?

Your loyalty is to one side but your friendship is to the other?

When you have things to say, honest things that are meant to help the situation, but worry that they won’t?

When you are normally blatant ways are too much for a delicate situation?

When the timing of all of everything is oh so wrong?

What do you do?
