As April Fool’s Day draws to a close I don’t mind admitting this was a mighty strange Sunday not counting what I had for dinner — Thai basil chicken, Vlasic pickles and a banana milkshake — or the fact that Sam didn’t care that I watched this week’s episode of “Mad Men” while he was still in the room. We actually both spent most of the day sleeping and eventually dragged ourselves out of the house for a nice ride in the northern suburbs that included an unexpected drive-by past Southfork Ranch.
I also did some
ordering today, as in
shopping, which included a nice Anchor Hocking gravy boat from
Amazon.com and a set of glass platters and bowls
— on sale cheap! — from
Mikasa.com. In case you’re wondering why the big hoo-hah, it’s because Sam invited a couple of friends for dinner this month and I don’t think a seasoned hostess like me should serve baloney sandwiches and Rice-a-Roni from styrofoam plates and plastic mixing bowls. (Stop laughing. We never have company.) In case you’re wondering, I don’t have a photo of my new glass gravy boat. Use your imagination, okay?
So here’s what’s happening this week in Howdygramland! I’ve got a routine doctor appointment Tuesday morning at 9:15, the Masters golf tournament runs from Thursday through Sunday
— go Tiger! — and Passover starts at sundown Friday, so you’d better get your damn gefilte fish already. I’ll have to haul myself over to Tom Thumb tomorrow because that’s the closest supermarket with a Kosher aisle. (Actually, it’s maybe
half an aisle.) I also wouldn’t mind some sugar-free beet borscht if they have any.
God bless gefilte fish. It’s the single best reason on earth to eat horseradish.
Sam has been in bed since 11:30. I’d be smart to join him but I honestly think I’d rather raid the refrigerator and watch a movie because all of a sudden I’m really hungry and dying for a little entertainment ... unless you’d like to break into song for me. (Okay, maybe not.) Thank you for reading this.
