Big Night.

So as all of you are probably aware I LOVE dinner parties.  Hence the title of today's post.  If you haven't seen that movie then go out and rent it immediately... or downlaod it since no one rents movies anymore.    It is amazing! (thank you Uncle Mike for the suggestion).   Anyway, back to my point - dinner parties.   Tonight I will be hosting my first antarctic dinner party.  Or at least it started that way.  It is our friend Cole's birthday and another friend, Michael Smith, is leaving to work at the South Pole.  So I decided it would be a perfect occasion to rent Hut 10 and throw a dinner party, not that I needed an excuse.  (Kesa, Shoop, Mic, Crystal, Pat and Jen MAN, do I miss our dinner parties!) 

The second I rented it I started making menu lists, almost all of which were thrown out becuase we are kind of limited with ingredients here... due to us being in Antartica and all.  I thought about throwing a pizza party, but it is so dry here I didn't want to do it and screw it up since I can't just call Pizza Hut and order some if it's a bust.  And then flashes of my first pizza party came back to me with flames shooting out of the oven, smoke everywhere and the entire party in parkas fanning smoke into the 10 degree Chicago night.   I am pretty sure that would be cause for getting fired here.   So finally I decided to keep it simple and make what I miss.  I picked Aunt Sissy's pimento cheese, wings, and sonoran hot dogs.  

Shortly after I booked Hut 10 I found out that Bertha, our 40 year old dishwwasher was dying and being replaced on Thursday.  People take Bertha very seriously here.  The community has a special bond with her.   So there will be a wake held to remember her life.   Anyway long explanation short, my small dinner party isn't so small anymore.  So we will see how tonight goes.   I am sure I will have some stories for you.  

I will have pictures for you soon.  As well as pictures from this Saturday's Halloween festivities, in which I will be performing with the Hip Hop crew.  I miss you all!  Sorry I have gotten so lax on posting!  Will check back in soon!

BTW - Shout out to the soon to be Mrs. Lindsay!!!!!!!  I love and miss you.  Wish I was there.
