Much to my Questioning Angst, I allowed Big Funny Kid to watch "Pulp Fiction" with me during break. On the One Hand, he is reaching a certain point in maturity and film-making that I think he needed to see this film.
On the Other Hand.....well - it is a bit inappropriate.
(My favorite part during the screening is when BFK kept saying
"OH! You say that all the time!")
And truthfully, I don't think he "got" most of the brilliance. But he was exposed to it. In the paraphrased words of Jules (played so aptly by Samuel L. Jackson), I sprung some serious Gourmet S*** on him.

So today, we sprung some serious gourmet-ness on the cast of Charlie Brown in the form of Dave Barrus. Yes THAT Dave Barrus. The dude who co-founded The Broadway Dreams Foundation. Featured artist in the Broadway touring version of Les Miserables....he has released a TON of CD's. You cut this guy and he bleeds Broadway!
I pretended to look at a stage light
just to take this picture.
moving on.....
I got home today and had this Lil' Jar of Awesomeness delivered to me by a very apologetic postal worker who said she was sworn that I had to sign for it.
Winter Truffles, my friends.
Serious Gourmet-ness will occur with these yummy guys.......Eventually.
My point? Expose yourself and those you love to The Real Deal. Some will get it. Some will balk. Some will get it a long time from now. Some won't notice.
Just keep it real.
Keep it real is the point, but some real can be too much for some.
ReplyDeleteYou are intrepid in your explorations and those truffles, wow, how do they smell?
True dat, Elizabeth! And no, I am not intrepid at all about using my truffles - just waiting for the right time and the right diners to spring them on. And I had to fight every urge to break the seal to smell them. ;)
ReplyDeletetruffles = ick
ReplyDeleteother gourmet items = probably not ick, but with you it is hard to tell. You often spring things on me. Though I know you won't waste the truffles on me :)
No truffles for you, D-Gang.
