blue artichoke

I drove back to MO yesterday, stopping in Nashville to see my nieces and Gentleman Caller's family, and again in St. Louis to stock up on treats from Trader Joe's. After a long day of driving, I cracked open a "Two-Buck Chuck" Shiraz to relax and unwind. Purple Fried Okra calls that a "Merlotzac" - she's a clever one, that PFO.

Friday night before I left, I had a party at Blue Grilled Cheese's. I invited people to the party before I had cleared it with BGC. Luckily, she was kind enough to cancel her Friday plans to accommodate my party at her house! She made her famous pizza dip, someone brought ribs for the grill and we ordered pizzas. Good times, though I left just after the panty raid.
