Fire + MeatZ
Sunday night was a nice night for a BBQ. One of the best things about INFY’s house is that there is a firepit. I was awarded the great honor of putting the ligther fluid on the logs. After taunting INFY about how much of a piromaniac he was I found myself fairly obsessed with the flame. Then I went on a beer run. During this festival of driving I found myself on the phone with my mother. The Ertel Sr. who suggested that Luther Vandross attend my upcoming birthday party, and then came to the sad realization that he is no longer living. But suggested he come anyways. Well, it would probably be easier to get the dead Luther Vandross to attend a party because money would no longer mean anything to him and thus there would be no payment involved. So, frankly I thought it a good deal.
Because I had already indulged in a Phillipe’s beef French Dip earlier on Sunday I was in the mood for beer, chicken and sweets. I also meant to tell the story of how INFY and I got in the wrong line at Phillipe’s and I became ravenous with hunger while watching the olds and their heavy heavy trays of sandwiches etc. I made a list in my head of what I would order. Beef French Dip, side of cole slaw, sour pickles, bowl of chili with cheese and onions and blueberry pie (which I have never had). But by the time I arrived at the counter I had talked myself down to just a sandwich, bowl of chili (to share) and pickles. And it was enough, and I ate again only 1 hour later. I became out of control, once the tequila gun was drawn. Marcos surprised me and the gang with that. And most of us loved it. Tori provided marshmallows, symphony bars and graham crackers and we cooked the s’mores on a twisted hanger. Ashraf and Jennifer generously fed us meat upon meat and we took from them what was offered. Many people showed up.
We then experienced Curb Your Enthusiasm. Meaning that we started to watch it and there was no sound due to the fact that INFY had to remove Halo from the TV. We then backtracked with the technology of the DVR. Which I know to be high end. Everyone was cleaning up around us, but we were preoccupied with the show. Let this entry stand in good faith as one “clean up” coupon after a BBQ.
