Ya know... I cut my Late Life Bucket List Caper short to be near Atlanta GA with my son’s family, and my grandson who I’d only seen 4 times in his 8 years. But damn! My daughter-in-law is a royal pain in the ass! One of these cult church holy rollers... like her shit would grow diamonds or something 🙄 said didn’t want her “precious gift” tainted by playing sports or learning about the big bad physical world. Hey that’s life! Well, she’ll get her comeuppance soon enough!
Anyway, me & her had it out a couple nights ago. A real paint blistering sailor swearing shout fest when she reinforced the fact her son was not gonna play Little League Baseball after he cried begging me to buy all the equipment and ask her to sign him up. Son told me you gotta go Pops. Oh well.
I’m packing up for Delaware, and continuing my Bucket List. But in the meantime she says I can only have kitchen privileges after midnight when everyone else is up in bed. I’ve been consigned to the damp dreary basement, she has no clue of my survival skills, especially when met with a silly convoluted esoterical challenge!
So... without further ado... I waited, then drove up to the local Kroger’s Market, snagged some wild caught never frozen Atlantic Cod and fresh picked organic Asparagus. A little sauté in lemon butter with Old Bay Seasoning, and Voila! A dinner worthy of a $10 tip 😎 paired it with some Elysian “Space Dust” IPA out of Fort Collins CO. Nice brew clear, crisp, slightly tangy, perfect with seafood, 8.5% ABV 🍺 yum!!!
I’d bought her this Orchid a few weeks ago as a peace offering the 1st time we had a blow out argument. Had to fish it out of the rubbish bin where she tossed it last night so I’d have a proper table piece 👌 So... Cheers 🎉 this ol’ Blues Cat would just love to be someone’s personal chef!
Btw, she HATES me drinking beer in the house. Too bad, this Space Dust brew has me feeling quite don’t-give-a-fuckish 😈 ...can you hear me Major Tom? 🚀💫👽
