For All You BBQ Lovers

Just heard about the Big Apple Barbeque Block Party. Can you say finger-lickin’ good? 

I figured this was a good post to follow up me giving up my vegetarianism last week. For all of you out there who’s bodies crave a carnivorous day- grab a bib and some wet wipes and head out to Madison Square Park in a few weeks. Good times and face stuffing for thousands. I’m thinking this would be a good event to meet new friends and potential dates too. Seems like a good conversation starter/ice breaker. Spot someone who looks interesting and Drop a; “Hey- you have bbq sauce up the side of your face and on your forehead. Wanna hang out some time?” 
After that entry line, who could say no?

I Gave Up My Vegetarianism…

…for a day so I could eat amazing sandwich

Ugh- so, so good. I had to.
My friend Tim (who is super awesome and fun) 
treated me out to lunch yesterday at Black Sheep. Love this place. It had been a while since I’s been there. I sure won’t let that happen again.
Tim and I shared one of their 
enormous battleship “sandwiches.” This thing could literally feed 4 
people. We chose the USS Brooklyn; Jerk bbq chicken, with shredded cabbage, roasted banana ketchup and peach chutney on fresh french baguette. Their menu is ridiculous. By that I mean ridiculously yummy options and funky twist on the norm. Fits perfectly with glass bottled old-fashioned sodas, the kitschy decor and overall unique style of the space and staff. Service was excellent. Bonus to their awesomeness because they wrapped our leftovers in deli paper and a small paper bag- not a big gross styrofoam container.
I love you Black Sheep. I am still stuffed and it’s now 24 hours later.
I shall visit soon again for your deliciousness!

Sunday Funday =

*Beers at the river and lounging on the rocks

*Trails runs with friends and dogs
*Boating
*BBQ’s on the patio and feasting with neighbors
*Girly cocktails and appetizers galore on someone’s lawn/balcony/porch
*Camping out at the park to read books and fashion magazines
*Driving to the beach for the day
*Movie marathons 
*Brunch with pitchers of mimosas
*Wandering into boutiques, window shopping and stopping in somewhere for lunch
*Ice cream and dollar movies
(Just to name a few.)
Ahhh…oh the options. Today I/we have chosen the beers and sun tanning/lounging at the river option.
I love Sunday Funday!

Next Time I’ll Have My Drunk Friends Cut It.

I can’t even begin to discuss the horrific haircut I got from someone who called themselves a stylist. If you could sue for bad haircuts- I’d have already hired a lawyer and be at the Supreme Court getting this crap-ass “stylist” thrown in the slammer.

Two words to describe the disaster?
Lawn & mower.
Yep. 
Well- it’s a god thing hair grows back. I guess I’ll just have to celebrate my freakness for the next, oh- 6 months.
Good times.
To lighten the mood/moment/disaster- I wanted to share this photo I took of my friends little boy tonight. She, the kids and I had a date. His shirt was perfectly timed for me when I walked up the stairs to meet them. Nothing cures the misery of a tragic haircut like a couple of cute kids, picking flowers and skipping with them and scarfing some pizza and ice cream.

Response

You know those overly presumptuous and annoying questions that people often ask that make you stand there and think: Really?- can’t you come up with a more creative question? There are SO many more things to life than marriage, Mcmansions and 2.5 kids. (Yeah, yeah, easy general chatter- I get it.) Why have you never asked me what my favorite color or food is? What sport I like? Where do I like to travel? What news/magazines do I read? 

I often wish people stepped out of the daily robotic routine to allow their minds to see more color or flavor for a minute or two. Then they might ask about something that would allow them to learn about what kind of a person I am. (Or any of us for that matter.) 

One of the favorites that myself and a lot of my girlfriends (who are single and married find odd that complete and total strangers ask:
“So when are you going to have kids? I mean- you do want kids…don’t you?
After laughing at the many options with my no babies yet, but sure maybe in the future gal pals- we have come up with a good and completely honest response:
“You know, I’m just not sure yet- but I’ll let you know when I start worrying about my vagina as much as you are. Thanks for asking though!”
Somehow this kind of response stops all those other “small talk” questions from being asked. You know- the ones we all despise scrambling to come up with the “right” answer for on the spot.
By the way; My favorite color is all of them, my food obsession as of today is fresh toasted French baguette, topped with hot house tomatoes that have been soaked in evoo with balsamic vinegar, sea salt and black pepper, and my vagina is currently spectacular. 
Ahhh…just living the good life.
