years from now, people will look back on saturday and say, "I was there for the miracle that was, the one day summer."
maybe there will even be a holiday--like Christmas. we could call it "Humid Christmas."
leigh and i just got back from Mystic, CT for our dear friends' wedding. it was beautiful and i will say this for old-man summer...the sun came out just as they were giving their vows. much wine was had. much merry was made, and i had a "dance-off" with a couple of ten-year-olds. sure, i held my own but my dance-off legs are not what they used to be, and now it's back to work.
don't forget that soft shell crabs will only be around a little while longer, so get them while you can. a soft shell crab po-boy is the only way to celebrate one-day summer (or humid christmas for that matter.) try it with the 2008 Kim Crawford "Unoaked" Chardonnay from Marlborough, New Zealand. that's what i did the other day at banQ! Chardonnay has a nice soft "sweetness" of fruit that goes so well with the sweet , buttery meat of the crab. being "unoaked", it doesn't overpower the delicate flavors of the SSC (which is short for soft shell crab--but now it doesn't make any sense to shorten it, because i'm taking all this time to explain myself...)
as for me--i just made pasta salad. leigh is grading papers and i'm about 5 minutes away from another (yep...another) three-hour session of HULU! i haven't see this much Family Guy and SNL in years. God bless Tuesdays. if you're going to banQ, tell everyone i said, "Hi!" and have a pitcher of sangria. don't forget to pour a little out of your glass and say, "this is for geoffrey!"
giggity giggity,
geoffrey
