Quote of the Week 9/24/12

September 24, 2012

First of all, happiest of Happy Birthdays to one of my bestest best friends, Christine, who is WAY OLDER THAN ME today! Wooo! Check your mail this week, expect something awesome. But not too awesome. Moderately awesome. Wouldn’t want my present to be all anti-climactic.

Had a pretty chillaxed weekend, which was nice. Spent Friday on the couch watching movies with Ben. Saturday, I made these awesome apple turnovers that I brought with me to an oyster roast hosted by one of my coworkers. It’s against my religion to come to a party empty handed. The oyster roast was very fun, and I really enjoyed seeing my coworkers outside of work, and with their hair down. Woooo bonding! Sunday, Ben and Doug and I went to Lost Dog Cafe, and I finally remembered to take pictures of the Biscuits and Gravy, so expect that review sometime soon!

This week’s quote is about oysters and how weird they are. Enjoy and have a great week!

“He was a bold man that first eat an oyster.”
–Jonathan Swift

 

He was a bold man who thought that hairstyle was a good idea.

Quote of the Week 2/5/12

February 5, 2012

In honor of the big game, Super Bowl XLVI, this week’s food quote is being published on Sunday. This is partly because it’s a holiday, and I enjoy highlighting holidays in my blog posts, and partly (or mostly) because I know I’m going to be too busy recovering from tonight’s festivities to try and write anything of substance tomorrow. Kathleen and I are throwing a party for the Super Bowl because she’s a die-hard Patriots fan, and I like to eat and drink in the company of friends. I’m in charge of the food (I know, shocker, right?) and she’s in charge of the alcohol. We make a pretty good team, and I’m pretty excited about it. New Year’s Resolutions, Shmoo Years Revolutions. It’s the Super Bowl! America’s holiday! The whole point is to eat and drink and scream at the TV…. although now that I think about it, that pretty much describes every holiday we celebrate in the Gallimore household. So.

“When your Super Bowl guests arrive, they should find a mound of potato chips large enough to conceal a pony sitting in front of the television. For nutritional balance, you should also put out a bowl of carrot sticks. If you have no carrot sticks, you can use pinecones, or used electrical fuses, because nobody will eat them anyway. This is no time for nutritional balance: This is the Super Bowl, for God’s sake.”

–Dave Barry

Americans pretty much use any excuse to eat and drink too much. This is why I'm a patriot.

Quote of the Week 1/16/12

January 16, 2012

So, I’ve decided that I hate online classes. And classes in general. I just want to learn, I don’t want to have to bother with watching 13 videos about how to use the website and uploading an entire word document with the words “I have watched all 13 videos about how to use this website.” Seriously. It’s a class on powerpoint. I’ve been using Powerpoint since middle school. And I know you think using all of those different colors and bolds and italics in your instructions makes it “easier to read” but really, you’re giving me a seizure. Most of the time, simpler is better.

But I digress. The point of all of this was to share with you my frustrations so that you will understand why I’m such a fan of the following quote by Ben Franklin. And no matter your stresses or burdens, I’m sure we can all agree with Mr. Franklin’s timeless wisdom.

“Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried, with fewer tensions and more tolerance.”

— Benjamin Franklin

"I'll have a bottle of your finest White Zin... don't bother with a glass."
