And I reply, "That is spring."
I'm kind of a Spring weather guru.
Clearly.
Anyway!
During this in-between, dis and dat time our lovely friends texted us,
"We're planning an excursion to westerly packing- need anything? Or want to come along?"
Oh, do we.
Oh, and did we.
Field Trip!!
Sammy Meatballs couldn't get enough of us. Of Michelle, mostly, but still. I think he loved us all.
Especially Michelle.
And then we realized in our, um, exuberance the evening before we may or may not have forgotten everything. Eveyone. One one:
Sigh. We did.
The only good thing about the whole debacle was the absence of a person enabled us to fold down the middle console in the back seat to unearth the drink holders.
Well, that and we got a lot of steaks and seafood.
Okay. Dis and Dat.

First Signs.
Poor Hsin! I'm sure that your sweet messages helped her cope with her abandonment. I saw a photo you were tagged in on facebook from that field trip, and I was afraid to ask what the hell I was looking at. I think it was dead? I do not quite want to know. Love you!

I'm a tad bit confused myself, westerly packing? Sammy meatballs?
ReplyDeleteBut all your inbetweening looks entertaining. And it's always good to see solid signs of Spring.

You're absolutely right, Beth. I should have linked Westerly Packing to their website . . . and I just did.
ReplyDelete"Traditions and Flavors brought from the southern coast of Italy to the southern coast of Rhode Island."
I know, right??
It's a fabulous butcher shop / market / frozen foods emporium where you can get the most *amazing* treats . . . including "soupy" -- aka soppressata -- their amazing home-cured Italian dry salami. *That's* the photo you saw that Michelle posted, Jacquie: that's their soupy dry-curing room.
And finally, Sammy Meatballs is the brother (uncle? newphew? son?) who makes what he describes as "world-famous" meatball mix.
And just like that, a sobriquet was born.
