Thanksgiving pictures!!

Well I've finally gotten the pictures off my camera of my Thanksgiving trip to see my faily. It was a great time and as always great to see the family. On Wednesday night Kelly invited Mom, Dad and myself over for dinner and a movie. We had shrimp and scallops marinated in a lemon zest marinade wraping in bacon. Very yummy, and she also made some Buffalo style Onion rings! We started to watch HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, which everyone loved. WE didnt get to finish it as we were all very tired from a long day. I'm sure Mom, Dad and Kelly were able to finish the movie before they had to return it.


Thursday was great, Kelly was over before I even woke up. When they woke me u with Bart, I found out they didnt wait for me to have the first Mamosas. Gees thanks guys. WE spenpt the day in the kitchen watching Kelly and bart sleep. Mom and Dad recently got one of those out-door fire chimney things, we were outside enjoying that for a bit as well, very neat. Their yard is nearly fnished and looks great.





Bart has a favorite toy, and go figure its a Monkey, I had some fun with the toy as well. Although Bart was sleeping the whole weekend due to his saddness of losing his balls, and his claws. I can understand that, I don't think I would be very pepy either.

Well I have some more pictures I want to post includeing a picture of the Christmas Tree WIlliam got for the apartment. Its great I was o suprised when I saw it. I grabbed some ornaments for it last night. I may change the tree topper too. I'm not to sure about the Blue bottle on the top of the tree.... But we'll see.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving, Oaken Bucket

Happy Thanksgiving! I get to go see my family this week in DC. I'm really looking forward to it, I will probably come back fat. I would make a list of things that I am thankful for, but I can't compete with Seans post, so I'll do a small and simple one:

I'm thankful for:

My family, we are a bunch of dorks I love it!

My friends, they put up with me, thats alot.

Charlie, he's still a but crazy but hes too cute

Purdue whoopin some Indiana butt in the rivalry game yesterday

Broadband

See I said it would be simple :)

P.S. - I'm not thankful for Christmas commercials on TV already :)

Celly phoney-yo

Well if you havent heard yet, or received an odd Text Message from me yet, I have a cell phone! Thanks to my parents who decided it was time for one. I'm havinga blast with it so far, I love new toys! I took a icutre of Charlie and put it as the background. I also got the unlimited text and pix messenging thing, which is good, I can see that I'll be using that alot. So yea, thanks Mom, Dad and Kelly!
oh and the picture is of the actual model of phone that I picked out. Pretty nifty eh?

Oh and I think I shoud point out that the Bills won this week against Kansa City 14-3. Whos house? Bills House!!!

Interview

Well I had my interview at Max's of Eastman Place. I can't remeber the last time I walked into an interview not already knowing I had the job. It was weird, and I got kinda nervous when I arrived.

None the less I feel that it went well, and I should hear back from them Monday.

Well this is a short post... I have to go save the world with Tim.

Ahhh Friends

Now that I'm at my personal weekend from work, I get to write about the past weekend. Happy be-lated halloween. I ahve to say that this ast weekend was a good time. I spent a good amount of time with all of my friends from work and my good friends from outside of work.

Friday I met out with Sean, Chris, and Willy for beers at Snuffies and had to shuffle in some friends that may or may not have been allowed in. Being that they were females it didnt really take much, oh surprise. Hung out there for a bit, chatted with lisa a bit, that was nice, got to trash talk Macs a bit, which seems to be something I've always enjoyed since my adolences years. Scary monkey mask aside.

Saturday, haloween night, the actual celebrations of haloween on folded. Good times, I stoped by otter as usual, but I foud myself leaving pretty quickly. Way to crowded. So I bounced out to a work party for the rest of the evening. It was more fun seeing eople you work with acting like fools and dressed up as pimps and whatnot, and trying not to get stuck to the kitchen floor where the kegs were. I was a ninja this year. I dressed up for the first time in years as something other than a cook :)

I think it is more than neccesary to back up to Friday.

Friday when things started to come to a close at work, I called up Sean:
Me: Hey Sean, whats up?
Sean: Hey not much just drinking wine after a seven course meal, what are you up to?

Me: Workin.
Sean: Yea.. we are at this amazing place you should stop by.
Me: Oh..... yea.. maybe if I get out soon
Sean: Well give me a call when your getting out.
Me: ok talk to you soon.

Okay so after this short conversation, I figured I would be meeting them at the bar as per usual. So when I was all set with work and ready to head out I called up Sean again...

Me: Hey buddy
Sean: Hey!
Me: What are you guys doin?
Sean: We are still here you shoudl stop by, they are looking for a cook, its a really really nice place.
Me: Oh really?
Sean: yea potash knows the chef, you should stop by and talk to him.
Me: Are you with me?
Sean: No man, stop by

Me: okay I'll be there in about 20 minutes
Sean: ok I'll step outside and look for ya

So I drive my butt down to this supposed eatery, have the best glass of wine I've ever had. Some kind of 30 yr old tawny port. Great stuff, I've never enjoyed a wine-like drink like that ever before, I'll never forget it.

After a bit, Sean showed me the atrium. Yea an atrium in the building between the two sections of the resturuant. Then a got to chat with the Chef a bit. I say a bit because soon Chef and Potash were in a conversation of there own. The Chef gave me a menu and his number and said they were looking for a pastry chef and a night chef. So I do my look over the menu and ask bluntly 'what do you start at for pay?' He asnwers failry quickly in a not thinking about it manor '20- 25 and hour' So I do what I can to look abck at the menu and not show any expression. But I can see out of my eyes that Willy and Sean were rolling their tougnes back in there mouths. I was shocked.

So, I'm going to meet with this Eric Mueller, Chef of Max of Eastman Place tomorrow, hopefully unless something goes dreadfully wrong, which I hope not. This is a big oppourtunity, the food on thei menu is nice, and they change there menu monthly.
This is there webpage here. Check it out, you'll see my I'm pissing myself.


So back to the point of the post. I had a great weekend, spent with my friends.
