So I had dinner the other night with Joe Shtrimps. He and his wife and son were in town for some R&R. We went to Brewzii's at Cityplace. Not to be confused with Brunza. I had never met Joe's son Frank and had no idea what to expect. My prior conversations with him had been about his son being out of control. We get there and his son was a pretty funny little guy. Remarkably the child does not look like either of his parents. He looks like someone else's kid. He did not speak much and Joe told me he had a speech therapist, at 2 years old. Someone should have gotten Joe a speech therapist. Anyway. Fun night. You know how it goes with us. It took 5 seconds for me to get the kid worked up. He was chasing me around Cityplace and playing the drums on the table with spoons.
- Speaking of worked up i found that giant pair of inflatable boxing gloves that your boys were soooooo interested in.
- How did that Hulk Hands thing go? Did anyone even notice or did homeland security do a full cavity search?
So we had dinner at Spumoni to celebrate the 34th anniversary of our parents. Lasagna. Amazing. Post dinner discussion or arguing, however you may see it, led to the mini coffee mug shot glasses. I began searching for the 2 mug shot glasses (john had brought them up recently as well). In my search i found a treasure trove of bottles i had never seen before.
Several were small and in vibrant colors. They reminded me of an old movie "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" (Rent it for the men. It's a kids movie) So Shteef, Jeniak and myself join Big Vin (small as he may be big refers to the personality) in trying this rainbow of drink. Jenia remarked that the green one was great, it tasted like Lester Een. I think he works at publix... Not sure. The yellow tasted like banana. We chopped up a banana and served it to Merle but she used it only for the photo op I sent. The orange one was peach and we found a bottle of Creme D'Cacoa. It was good. It had a hershey syrup kinda tase. We also feasted on Galliano, not my favorite but smooth. My mom consistently brought up Brandy Alexander but we still have no idea what it refered to. All in all an interesting night.
Even Ree tryed out a shot or too. We had to take a picture of it because ino would believe they looked that way. Big Vin informed us that those bottle were over 30 years old. Luckily none had red cherries in them.
