HAPPY HALLOWEEN HNT!

HAPPY ENDING HNT

About a month ago I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my upper chest. The incision got infected, but in the end, all's well that ends well.

HAPPY HNT

The day I met my baby HNT

March of 2006 I met the second love of my life and our relationship is still going strong. Here's the first post I made about my baby Lori. Love you babe, more than Fridays.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm dating someone new now, her name is Lori.



I started dating Lori a few weeks ago and thought it was time I introduce her to you, my closest friends. It’s a long story about how we met, so let me see if I can figure out a way to make a long story short and I’ll get back to you. In the mean time, I wanted you to meet her.

Oktoberfest HNT

Tuesday Lori and I celebrated Oktoberfest with some friends at an beer tasting dinner. We were served four courses with a different German beer with each course. Our glasses were never empty and everything was delicious.

We each were given marbled rye bread and baked pretzels with horseradish-ale mustard

Beer - Weihenstephaner Original











SECOND COURSE
Sauerkraut-tomato soup, beer braised duck leg on custini

Beer - Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier












THIRD COURSE
Grilled marinated lamb shak, apple-mint relish, potato dumpling, red cabbage

Beer - Weihenstephaner Hefewissbier Dunkel











FOURTH COURSE

I dressed up and wore my best "Os" shirt.

HAPPY OKTOBERFEST HNT
