day two of the bday trilogy...broccoli fest


sorry i havent been around, posting or commenting. a few days ago, stompers gift came in the mail, and its been keeping me busy!!

binky runs a pretty tight ship around here....


and doesnt like me slacking off like that!!

(aarraagh)
lol


this is what it looks like in the "michelle land of shopping", pastel.


my mom holding more clothes:) we had so much fun that day!!!


roxy shorts for 12 dollars! and lots of spring and summer sale stuff, leggings and tunic shirts, that skirt im not sure about(blue western theme....maybe i didnt think that one through)...what are you supposed to wear with it? brown?


new pots/pans
i slowly but surely destroyed our other pots....these were on sale also:). theres a funny(well, thas subject to opinion..) story about the first set of pots and pans that we bought together(stomper and i). it actually was our first "fight". i think it was me just being so nervous about what we had just done...(eloping).
and poor stomper just didnt know what he had gotten himself into. about a week after we got married and we were still moving my stuff into his "place" uh.....that would be a "prefabricated mobile unit" and i didnt want to bring the pans that i had from my apartment...i could scrape off the burnt parts and use it as charcoal to cook with if i wanted......so, i didnt want him to think i was a careless/worthless cook/animal....you know?( i was 17 when i got that pan, so at that time i was an animal) so we were at "bed bath and beyond" and i was going to get a cheap set to bring home. he knew they wouldnt last and didnt want me to buy them. so meanwhile im upset, hes upset and its a big mess.i might have cried...which i really dont do, you know? then later he surprises me with some really nice ones that took me five years to ruin instead of three months!

hungry car



full car:)





now to the feasting. these pictures really dont do my broccoli bonanza credit.


this is the mediterranean platter..half eaten





this is broccoli appetizer number one...i only got two. theres more trees hiding behind the giant fondue bowl (teriyaki sauce)




my food pretty much took up the whole table.i might have mentioned in my last post that the waitress skipped stomper because she thought that i had ordered for us both....she literally left. for a dipping sauce (this appetizer was originally a fondue with bread dippers and a three cheese sauce) i got their house made teriyaki, it normally has chunks of pineapple and sweet red peppers in it:(. instead of bread i had them replace it with EXTRA broccoli!!! they were really great about it, oh except for the fact that there was cheese sprinkled on top, so she (the waitress)brought me a new one. im always nervous doing that.






and pictured here (below) you can see the second.this was for everyone else..it also came with cheese sprinkled on top, i couldnt ask her to re-bring out(making up words here) everything without cheese, it would be to much food to waste. so i just stuck with the unsprinkled (word?nope:))hidden pieces of tree while my parents and husband took care of the rest.




my tatas are NOT that small!! i dont know what happened!! well yes i do, its my new VS strapless bra. its kinda tight....somebody thinks they can fit into anything.


and to drink i brought a "true lemon" packet. which i "covertly" *snickers* stirred into my drink:) i think ive proved that i did, indeed, live in a trailer park.
if the farm animals that i sleep with didnt tip you off before that......

I thought Binky only "bites" Stomper. Or is it that he only attacks, eye-pecks and eviscerates Stomper? Evisceration reminds me that we disturbed a buzzard eating roadkill, and he flew ahead of our car for a long way, then dropped some squirrel. I was all AAAAAAAHHHH IT'S GOING TO LAND ON OUR WINDSHIELD but it didn't, and that's the end of the story.

Oh, and hey! Where did your tatas go?

Hahahahaha!

As always, too much to take in...First off -- Hello! Paging Daisy Duke!ummm ... yeah....those "shorts"...strapless bras...spiking your beverage...

How did you find a restaurant that serves Mediterranean food as well as Fondue and Teriyaki sauce? My colon hurts looking at all the broccoli. Seriously.

Will Part III of the bday recaps reveal Stomper's gift? A pole to go w/the shorts?

Sorry, reposting:

That broccoli looks pretty good...not to mention that gigantic bowl of teriyaki sauce! Ok,so between that and your salsa raids...I think I have you pegged as a condiments girl...me too.

I love the blue print skirt. I'd wear it with a denim vest, but maybe that's because I'm a throwback from the 70's.

LOL about spiking your drink in the restaurant and sleeping with farm animals...you wear it well though...in a trailer park chic kind of way. :D

Yuck! Birds! I am so afraid of them! Hahaha

dirtyduck said...

TB, lol i love your suggestion, hwite fringe shirt:) i need to stop buying themed clothing.binky (his real name is Aloha) is my "old man" he has been with me for about 7-8 years now? he and i are "mates" so its a little awkward around walter:) hehehe

Viz, seriously? it dropped a piece of animal? oh siiick, and funny...but more sick. you have a good memory, binky hates walter still. they got along for awhile in this freaky truce...that went away when binky bit him.

Shen, yea, i guess they are kinda short...maybe its just my camera? lol not buying it? my mom didnt endorse that purchase. my matching pole....lol oh yea this restaurant has a little of everything, thats probably why i like it so much. i think you would also, they have veggie sandwiches! its called "barley brothers" but i think its just a local place.and my tatas are all ive got going for me that doesnt take any work!! i have to defend the flatness!!!stompers gift is going to be part 5..you''ll see!

Rose
heheh trailer park chick! it was only for a year!! one little year! lol it was actually a very peaceful and safe place, i felt safer there than any other place i have lived. the lady that took care of walter growing up and his ailing mom still lives there. i love my food by the gross. condiments BEWARE!! sometimes i get a little shock when i walk into the front room and i see a duck and a pig walking around, i really need to be on a farm!!glad you appreciate/understand my humor. its worth it to make jokes at my expense if somebody thinks its fun:)

HM, some birds are SOOO sweet!! this bird thinks i am his "mate" so he really takes care of me. birds just need a lot of understanding, they are really cool if you get to know one. this bird will make nests for me, and try to feed me his chewed up food....etc?lol im not improving your view of birdies.....after i got aloha(thats his real name) i never felt scared in my apartment where i lived alone. he was so happy to be(he lived in a garage for five years) out of his old place that he would literally die for me, i know that sounds dramatic but he would go after anybody that came near me, then look back and see if he should attack, i would tell him "no" and he would retreat but still keep an eye out. he is so loyal, btw i had the same feelings towards birds till i was 13. i thought they were boring etc. ok...this was a ridiculously long comment back....im going now..

Rose said...

I so totally didn't mean anything against trailer parks...:)

I meant chic...like glamour/chic kinda way.

Yes, you do need to live on a farm! Wouldn't that be bliss?

The Shenandoah Vegan said...

A trilogy usually means three parts...just sayin....

dirtyduck said...

Rose, totally got it, dont worry!ttysoon

Shen, you make a good point...lol no i know i just feel dumb after letting so much time go by....ill get on it!

Jenny said...

Wow, my head is sort of spinning after this read...the pot story...your boobies...your hungry car...you got a bird...I didn't know you could get different kinds of dipping sauces at a fondue restaurant; now I'm wondering if other places will do that...many other thoughts, but that's all for now.
