Dang. I have to go to my mom’s and help make cake and spinach dip for a birthday party.

I messed up and grabbed the Knorr French onion soup instead of the vegetable soup mix. It actually tastes really good in the dip.

Ishikawa, let the boy hit against lefties.
There’s cake and boxes and spinach dip, oh my!
Actually I got the cake going and made the dip quickly and then fled. For some reason, my mom’s boyfriend lets his grown son and the son’s girlfriend live there despite neither actually contributing anything in rent or help around the house. The girlfriend is dumb as a fucking rock. Listening to her talk makes me feel like my brain cells are dying.
I made it back just in time!

Alton Brown’s “Good Eat’s” web page that accompanies his Food Network show, has some how to make dips from scratch that are pretty tasty. I also learned that onion dip, was called “California dip” once upon a time. Made up a huge batch (w/ double the onions) for the Superbowl this year.

I know it’s just exhibition, but it would be nice if the Giants’ actually used some good players today, as opposed to yesterday.

Heh. This trip came up at the last minute – she found a good deal on tickets less than a week ago and jumped on it. When she called her mom to tell her she was coming in less than a week without me, her mom was a bit confused and asked, “Is everything okay at home?”

I remember having a drunken argument at a bar in Kearny about how to pronounce the town’s name. I’m still not convinced it should sound like the Giants’ hitting instructor’s first name.
Over the offseason I saw the item about Joe Nelson signing a nice contract with the Rays and had to write to a buddy and say “He’s still in baseball?!?”
He wrote back, “Yeah, he had a pretty good year last year.”
Nelson lived 3 doors down from me at the dorm in USF. I found out we share the same birthday when he turned 21 and I went over and chugged one of the cheap whiskey brands with him.
I never met Foppert though; he was after my time.
