More Gracie!

I recently visited Gracie and we had a little photo shoot. She's so fucking cute I want to take her home so bad.

Action shot!

She is eating my head!Hi!Ferocious!

Ho, Ho, Ho's

July 28th was the Ho, Ho, Ho's show. It was being held at Otherlands. We were concerned about getting a table but Susan put our minds at ease. She was reserving us one!

Before the show, we started the party at Mel's house that is right next door to Otherlands. Very convenient, especially when the bar (it's really a coffee bar) ran out of Bud Light. Horrors! We just went next door and got one out of our cooler. Here's a few shots of the preparty.

Check out Bacon's shirt. Hilarous!

Mel is singing in this one.

Then it was time for the show. Let me just say it was fucking great. Rick Steff was a honorary Ho. He played keyboard and accordian. Awesome! Here are some pics from the show.

Susan Marshall!

Reba Russell!Kim Richardson!Rick Steff!

I heard that Susan might be singing River by Joni Mitchell. She played it at the last Ho, Ho, Ho show and I almost melted. It's my favorite. So, here you go! She played it just for me.



How fucking awesome is that? Are you kidding me?!

After the show, we went back to Mel's porch. We were all drunk by then!

I can't wait for the Ho, Ho, Ho's in December.

Dinner at Mooey's

Weenie and I arrived at Mooey's with charcoal, wine, corn and eggplant. Mooey had already procured the shrimp and grouper. Turns out, this Asian market around the corner has an unbelievable assortment of fish for cheap! Four giant filets of grouper plus 1.5 pounds of cleaned and shelled shrimp for $20! At The Fresh Market, at least $40.

We poured the wine and started preparing dinner.

I lit the fire while Weenie marinated the shrimp. Then, while she prepared the fish I put them on skewers.

Then Weenie put me in charge of the shrimp. Bad idea. See, she's the chef. Me, I can boil hot dogs and make a mean frozen pizza. She was truly throwing caution to the wind! I took them to the grill and placed them as best I could.

Meanwhile, the fish was about to go in the foil.

Weenie put the lemons on the bottom and then put garlic, salt and pepper, olive oil and white wine in the little aluminum foil boats.

I was watching the shrimp cook drinking.

I managed to not totally ruin the shrimp. As soon as I took them off the grill, we devoured them in about 3 minutes.

Other items for dinner.

Everything was finally done and we plated the food. Mooey had whipped up a simple aioli to put on the fish. Basically, it was Hellman's, soy sauce, whole grain dijon mustard and lemon juice.

Everything was great but the fish was truly some of the best I've ever had. Weenie cooked it perfectly and coupled with the sauce, it was fantastic.

Then we proceeded to get our drink on.

Whoops.
