Hip Hop O'Malley's

After dinner, most of Kristy's friends left and Ellen left and so that left Krueger, Jayne Jay, Charlie, Kristy, her friend and hubby and I to roam the streets of Seal Beach. Let me tell you the streets were pretty bare. Well, the reason the streets were bare was because it was cold and all the people were in the bars warming up! We decided to take up residence inside of O'Malley's an Irish bar that likes hip hop music. Jayz and 50 Cent sounded a bit weird playing in an Irish Pub but hey this is America and anything can happen right? Right. So we entered and the waitress sat us at a big table that overlooked the bar area.

The first thing we learned that night is that Krueger does not like her food warm. What, you say? Since she hadn't eaten at Ruby's she ordered a meal and progressed to let it sit for 40 minutes before eating it. Of course everyone had to know why she was doing this and her response to the millions of questions was "She hates warm food and it's hard to chew." Okay, whatever? I wasn't thrown by this as it's just another one of the "Kruegerisms" I know so well. She does things her way. Why people are surprised anymore is beyond me!

The second thing I learned that night is that you can mix Guinness with peach ale and you get the weirdest but cool, looking Arnold Palmer looking type drink that was surprisingly tasty. Thanks Charlie and Jayne Jay for introducing me to this new beer concoction.

Third thing I learned, well really, I didn't learn it but the table did, was that Krueger knows way too much about lemon drop shots and now so does Kristy. The fourth thing we learned is that some people, after getting married, like to take their entire wedding party to O'Malleys. Not exactly my idea of a an ideal wedding reception but alas we were surrounded by bridesmaids and groomsmen in a union, that from all looks of things, would last 2 maybe 3 years at the most. Finally, the last thing we learned that night is that Seal Beach is a pretty cool, Hip Hop Irish Town. We all agreed we'd go back to do some more birthday, lemon drop celebrating some day.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
