Trombone Shorty To The Rescue

Cue the New Orleans funeral march cuz the death of summer is upon us. It's always a tell-tale sign when I start coming off the beach more Indian burned than tan. And, the nail in the coffin is inevitably marked by Emma and Hilbil's leaving for school tap tap...



screeeechhh...changing that N'awlins funeral record to some Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue to lift my spirits. 'Twas a smidge over 14 mins into this video when Trombone's insaaane display of talent flicked that li'l mood switch reminding me that in less than two months my parents open their Ixtapa home for the season. Always nice to know there's a life vest on board this sinkin' summer ship...

Kindness of Johnson's Produce for keeping it SC (seasonally correct) for us summer sensitive souls. The last thing I want to see when I run in to grab my lopes are shelves of Christmas ornaments...XXOO

  2. Austin City Limits can always help perk up your spirits. And yay for Ixtapa! Do you ever go to Playa La Ropa?

  3. Tardy re: "Kindness of anyone who can direct me towards the in vogue practice suits. The last one I owned was a tie-dye Speedo and that is NOT the look I want..."

  8. I have a completely unrelated to this post question. What do you like about the O-live olive oil in comparison to others? I made a special trip this morning to Kroger which is supposed to carry it - and doesn't - so will have to order it.

    Have you ever had any of the evoo's from Oil and Vinegar (C'ville location among others). Or any of the Wms Sonoma oils?

    I'm going to have to order the O-live oil and your answer will determine how much to buy! Thanks so much.

  9. No, I have not tried any of the oils that you've mentioned. And, I heard about O-LIVE evoo from an old friend who represents some big name, celeb chefs. I am in no way an oil connoisseur but, I've been having the O-LIVE oil every night on my salad as a dressing and think it's tastes wonderful. Tastes very clean is the best way I can describe it. Exactly what I feel like an evoo should taste like without any distractions. I'd ask your Kroger manager to stock it. Make him pay the shipping :)

  10. Yeah, no kidding. Especially since the website for the oil says all the Kroger stores carry it.

    "Very clean" is a good description; many of them taste musky or something. Thanks for the info.
