A friend of mine is getting married this weekend and the rehearsal dinner is tonight, which I'm looking forward to because I rarely get to practice eating meals before eating them.

Cornish game hen. Sounds delish. Why do we always eat our biggest meal at the end of the day? A tv show or a magazine article once told me I should eat breakfast like a queen, lunch like a princess, and supper like a toothless Midwestern meth ho. Actually, it said like a king, prince, and pauper, but I wanted to be inclusive.

So many people look back fondly on their mother’s or grandmother’s cooking, but not me. Mom was passable. She could warm up a pan of SpaghettiOs like nobody’s bidness. Grandma was pretty bad, especially at Thanksgiving. I remember the cranberry sauce still retaining the shape of the can at serving. And turkey so dry it burst into dust the minute you bit into it.

I didn’t eat a lot of ramen until college. When I was a kid Asian cuisine hadn’t yet penetrated very far into the American hinterlands. It was a Chef Boyardee childhood. To this day I still buy the occasional can of SpaghettiOs, and on pay day, just like when I was a kid, I’ll slurge and get the one with the little cut-up hotdogs in it.

Good times.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Beautiful. Biden’s like “I would’ve totally taken him out.”

And he would have, too. Or Sanders.

Jesus, talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

“The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.”

Bought my old dog Duke an orthopedic pet bed and jesus christ he loves it. He’s lived a long life and can sleep all day if he wants to (and he does).
