Ah, yes -- Alane's wedding shower. That was an absolutely killer party (nothwithstanding the bow hat which made Alane squirm). I remember seeing many of those pork varieties and at least as many types of bread. Marie outdid herself.

Of course, there are sausages and there are sausages. I remember another party at the old Staten Island homestead that included a fully-stocked, real-life hot dog wagon like you'd see on a street corner... It was parked in the living room. Bazzukajoe stood at the helm and as I walked in he pointed a fork at me and said "You want kraut on yours?"

C'mon, how can you have a First Communion party without a hot dog wagon?
