the next adventure

Youngest and I are going away this weekend.
We are going alone, for a week, with K's family.
And we have great plans that involve letter boxing, lattes, and reading and relaxing at the beach (I will be reading and relaxing, Youngest spends his days immersed.).

Yes, three men will be in my home alone for a week.
The week that Oldest turns 21, as a matter of fact.
To commemorate that, he and K are doing a pub crawl.
They are going to walk from my house to the waterfront and stop at every bar that has Guinness on tap and have one at each stop.
(Did I mention K's hollow leg? heh heh.)

Anyway....
I was discussing that week with the guys last night and I asked if there were any groceries they'd like me to have in the house -
if they knew what kinds of meals they might like to throw together while I am gone...

Herewith their thoughts on the subject, verbatim:

Beef Wellington (done two ways as Middle is not fond of pate and would prefer duxelle)

Kobe Beef Hamburgers, with hand cut fries and aioli mayonnaise

Cedar Planked Salmon

Pulled Pork (which K can very well make himself)

Crawfish Boil

Pheasant and Peacock Sausage

I'm a little sorry I asked.
I suppose a lasagna and some cold cuts will do...

This week, aside from killing a peacock, I have to:

a. make the dressing for my Sunset Sesame Noodles (how adorable is it that my recipe has a name?)

b. renew the dog's license. (I have nothing witty to say about this...plenty of nasty things, but nothing witty)

c. send the man who fixed my watch an additional $15. (this really is just for me, this list, you can leave if you wish)

d. find Youngest's summer reading list and get a book for him.

e. put Youngest's underwear IN the suitcase. (ooooooohhh, hahahahaha, see? now it's funny! I forgot ALL of Youngest's underwear last time we went away. All his underwear AND the nebulizer. not funny anymore.)


Finally, I've have asked my friend Joke what he would like to see for show and tell (thursday).
His reply is in my tag line above.
