Daily Tea: Happy Memorial Day!

May 24, 2015 by tamaratattles 107 Comments

memorial-day-remember

I have nothing to post this evening because it is Memorial Day and there is nothing on. Which would  be a great time for some me time. If only.

I cannot stand a cluttered inbox and I get a billion emails a day. Emails for each comment, emails from ten billion people wanting to sell advertising, emails from people wanting me to cover their client’s show, appearance, envelope opening, emails from me from y’all directing me to (usually interesting) things I might want to blog about, emails from people wanting to start their own blog and asking for help, emails from some groups I belong to, emails from networks with PRs, emails from y’all asking about my day,  emails from y’all telling me something you posted five minutes ago is still in moderation, emails from me people telling me to stop posting about one show and post more about midget shows… it never ends.

Since it was Memorial day weekend, I had sort of planned to at least grill a hotdog and have a beer. But I could not find the time. So I thought about Checkers.

Checkers

Checkers is a fast food place. I don’t get Checkers. Checkers has TWO drive thrus. Two.  But one is on the passenger side. Chick-Fil-A has a store like that, but they tell you before you get in line, you need to have a passenger to go through that window. There is no sign at Checkers. So it is sort of chaos.  All I really know about Checkers is that is close but on a busy intersection and hard to get in or out of the parking lot. And they sell hot dogs. Chili dogs to be more specific.

It’s is Memorial Day weekend and I feel it is my patriotic duty to eat a chili dog.  So I get in line behind a guy in a convertible. It is a lovely day so I open my moon roof. Which I am not sure  I am allowed to do during the day, but I’m a rule breaker. I oder the #13 size small. One small coke, one small fry, one teeny chili dog. Practically a chili pup, really. Then I decide to get a box of five chicken wings, because tomorrow is the actual holiday and I will need some celebratory food stuff for that as well. They will keep.

Sidenote: The paramedics are next door again. My living room feels like a disco with all the red lights. Can’t they turn them off when they reach the destination?

Where was I? Oh yeah, the drive thru. So I drive around and there is no one there because while there are two drive thrus there is apparently only one cash register. So as I am sitting at the window they have a little add on the window that offers a 32 ounce sweet tea for a dollar. This is an especially good deal because I will water it down and make like five glasses of tea out of it for tomorrow. Because that makes it diet. So I say, “I’ll take one of those large teas for a dollar, too please!”   And Heather ( I am guessing) says, ” What?”  Again I point to the sticker on the window.

“The large sweet tea, for a dollar you are advertising to me right her on the sticker. I’d like one of those please.

“Oh, it’s not a large.”

“Okay, I will still take one. It says it is 32 ounces. I assumed.”

“It’s a medium.”

“Okay then. Please add it to my bill.”

She hands me a 32 ounce tea with ice.

“I have another question, do the wings come with blue cheese or ranch or something?”

I mean they should they are almost six dollars with no drink, no fries.

“No it’s just the wings.”

“Do you have blue cheese?”

“Well we have it, it just doesn’t come with it.”

“Well can I get it? You know, like a side?”

“Oh yeah. You can get it. It’s just extra.”

“It’s fine. Just add a side of blue cheese then.”

“Well, it’s 15 cents” Heather says softly. “Is that okay?”

“Yes. I think I have that, it’s fine.”

It was more than fine. It was a container of prepacked blue cheese with like enough blue cheese to get the job done on five wings and some fries too.  Of course Heather put everything on my chili pup and it was a smashed mess. But good in a “this erases all of my organic eating for an entire life time sort of way.  The mixture of carcinogens on the fries were the perfect, patriotic complement. The wings were excellent. I went with “Buffalo Medium” because Heather said they were the most popular, and well I haven’t had wings since 1992.  BUT THEY WERE NOT WINGS. I did not get five WINGS.  I got five half wings. Some drumettes, others were wing tips. I got two and a half wings.

Somehow I paid like $12 AND FIFTEEN CENTS for a small coke, a medium tea, a small fry, a chili pup and two and a half wings.  There wasn’t even cole slaw involved. I of course at it all at once and saved the tea for tomorrow.

So that was the height of Memorial Day weekend so far.  Except that the Gaybor and his mother just left in an ambulance.  He was in the front. She was in the back. She’s really old and mean. This is her second ambulance trip in a few months. I sure this one will somehow be my fault too. I mean I did plant more tomatoes today.  Total of seven plants this year.

How is your weekend going?

      ​I planted a bunch of dahlia bulbs. The gaybor came out as I was watering the next day with his usual assholery. He said he was going to put up a privacy fence (because I have ignored them for over a year except for calling the cops on them for stealing my extension ladder).

      Anyway he is putting up a privacy fence, implying all my hard work planting was for nothing. I never respond to them. Have not spoken a single word to them in well over a year.

      I went inside and did a little happy dance. I could care less about the dahlias (which don’t appear to be coming up anyway) if I could walk outside my door with the evil Gaybor and his insane bitch of a mother standing in their yard staring at my fence. They are both batshit and are both supposedly near death but apparently hell is in no hurry to take them.

        Privacy fence is great news! The “good” side will face your property! Tip that I have found handy. Buy a Dremel….the least expensive one….( have seen them at thrift stores and yard sales). Engrave your name, date, something unique to you on ladders or whatever tool, stuff you have.

    I am working this weekend, but I have tomorrow off. We do a pot luck at work every Sunday. I don’t cook, so I buy out Ralph’s market deli section and bring a veggie platter. The Filipinos bring amazing food. We all eat too much on our 45 minute lunch break and then try to stay away for the rest of the shift. Fortunately, Sundays are usually quiet. My daughter and I are going for a second time to see Fury Road, tomorrow. My son is going with us, yay! Repeat after me, MY NAME IS FURIOUSA AND I AM ALL ABOUT SURVIVAL! (deep breath)
    Petomato update: Kyle is getting fat!! Lotta leaves. Lisa Vanderpump has more tomatoes growing. She’s in a pot in the tiny outside area behind my kitchen.
    I’ll get a hot dog at the theater and think of you, TT! That reminds me. Remember when the Lisas and Kyle went to that film festival at the mall for Eileen’s amazing sci fi? The girls were hungry so they split a hot dog three ways. I could never do that.

      @Lisamia, when I worked at a county hospital in Ca, the Filipino nurses brought the best food. Pansit, Lumpia, and adobo. One nurse would bring food for the shift every day. She was a Goddess. (She could also get an IV into anything; a supreme Goddess.) I miss the camaraderie, but I sure don’t miss the hospital politics and bullshit. That is why I always worked nights.
      Glad the tendonitis is better.

          ​A slaw dog has slaw. A chili dog has chili. A chili cheese dog had both. Going for the trifecta is always kind of awesome. But it is three separate dogs.

        You need a Polish Boy! I think it may be unique to Ohio. It is a spicy beef sausage topped with cole slaw then french fries and finally covered in barbecue sauce. A complete sloppy mess that I must indulge in at least once a year when I am there.

        I know you guys will probably laugh at me. It may just be an eastern North Carilina thing but my favorite hotdog condiments on a softly steamed bun are as follows: Dukes mayo, mustard, chili, and onions. Sometimes I add a little ketchup or slaw but only one or the other. Sounds gross to some but don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Other than people from where I live, I’ve never heard of anyone using mayo on hotdogs but it’s awesome on a fried or charcoaled one.

          ​Sounds great to me. I’m pretty sure most hot dog places add mayo if you order it all the way. I’m sort of a more the merrier kind of gal when it comes to dogs. Except I like to keep the slaw and chilli on different ones.

      Come to think of it Tamara when I add slaw, I don’t use chili either. It’s just Dukes mayo, mustard, onions and slaw. I always get light chili anyway. Hate it when the chili squishes out the other end of the bun and down my hand.

    Just another Monday for me. Except ion will have a “Blue Bloods” marathon, and I like that. So, that will be my day.

    I’ve been seeing the Sonic commercial all day, for their corn dogs. Now, I really want one. It’s just not worth getting in the car to get one.

    The last time I went through a drive through, it was at Taco Bell. The idiot in front of me changed his mind, and started BACKING UP. I had nowhere to go. I blew my horn, but he kept coming. He didn’t even stop when he hit me. His car practically ended up on top of my hood.

    Stupid me, I didn’t call the cops. We exchanged info, and of course, his was fake.

    I didn’t even get my tacos. Bummer.

Trying not to eat too much crap as my endo is going to have a fit when he sees me on Wednesday. Although it isn’t like I can do anything between now and then so may as well just eat what I like.

But wine is also transitioning to BOXED for everything. #FuckingLiberals So I am tryna get with the program. I just went to grab a beer, which I am pacing myself on. And THERE WAS AN EMPTY CAN!

        ​I pour it into a chilled glass. I am trying to get accustomed. Plus then my garbage doesn’t rattle as much when the trash man comes. I already have EVOO bottles, Vinegar bottles, Mexican coke bottles, That fancy shit with the probiotic drink bottles, some fizzy water bottles, pickle jars (I eat a lot of pickles) Kim chi jars ( I TRY to eat a lot of kim chi), olive jars (I have more olives than I could eat in a year most days), Dukes Mayo jars, Minced garlic jars, sundried tomato jars… and the Forest Gump list continues. So I am trying to give up beer and wine bottles.

        Because I have too many damn Califuckingfornian friends that make me feel guilty.

        And I am kind of getting used to it. Sort of.

        Side note, at a bar, order bottled beer no glass. The bottle has been sterilized and those glasses can come out of the dishwasher with lipstick still on them. It only takes once…

    This morning at 6:00 AM I was woken up by a frightening alert text message on my iPhone from the weather center about a tornado that was in my area. It told me to take cover immediately.

    It was the scariest decision trying to assess which closet would have room for my fat ass. That sucker touched down 2 miles from my house & hit an apartment complex destroying dozens of units.

    Coincidentally only yesterday I enabled my alert feature on my iPhone after it did a software update.

    My point is to remind those with smart phones to enable this alert feature. It could save your life when your asleep and need to be warned about dangerous weather.

When a tornado comes while you are sleeping of course it will catch you off guard and trying to figure out what to do. At least now you will make a plan for next time (God forbid there is a next time) right UF RIGHT?

    Happy Memorial Day to TT and all of her comments. Just glad im a guest to this blog.

    Im loving EJ Erwin, on Rich Kids of BH. He is one class act and the love that family has is real. Hes my new favorite gay boyfriend. And after he lost 100lbs, his style is fierce.

        Really wtf is up with all the backhanded comments lately? I mean can’t people just say something nice or interesting without saying how much you hate the shade of eyeliner, thickness of the face or color of their underwear? Ugggh sorry I’m just grumpy my car broke down this am. So I will go read some more and keep my comments to myself. Hope everyone enjoys the holiday as always thanks for the great reads here TT!

    I love Checkers! (And Rally’s, same thing). I’m sorry you had a bad experience, hopefully it was an exception. I don’t allow myself to go there too often though, because otherwise I’d be about 500lbs!

    Their burgers are always good and juicy, the spicy fries are fab, and (here in FLA at least) they’re FAST – they’ll have the bag already waiting before I can drive the 30 feet from the order box to the window.

    Another thing: they are open til 5am for those extra late-night not-so-sober cravings. I’m not a fan of hot dogs (if I’m going to eat lips ‘n’ assholes, they are going to be those of a hot man!), but they have many other tasty things. Especially the chili-cheese fries. They’re the perfect 4am feast!

      No Checkers here. Whataburger, Sonic, and FiveGuys. Every month or so we get promised an In and Out Burger, but nothing in 4 years.
      However the Mexican food here is the best.

        In and Out came to DFW a year or so back and you’d think it was the second coming. Scary long lines blocking traffic for about a month {the. Same happened she Krispy Kreme and Polio Loco opened), now its just like normal fast food traffic. I don’t get the appeal? Give me a Whataburger or a Sonic Footong with Chili and Cheese and I’m good.

    Our Memorial Day favorites are Wisconsin style bratwurst with sauerkraut. Boil in beer and onions then grill for added flavor. Favorite hotdogs are Chicago style. They are all beef dogs on poppyseed bun, sweet relish, mustard, tomatoes, dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and onion. I have never tasted a cony dog, looks unappealing to me.

    The big treat I purchased to celebrate the day alone are the fixins for BLT’s and a bottle of wine. First alcohol since birthday in September. I am hoping to get a buzz under my ass and do some housework. Not having it done seems to be mentally preventing me from doing outdoor work. Finally safe to put out plants here.

    It may be too wet to plant for days, it’s raining like Niagra Falls. At least the tornado watch ended earlier than original warning. I guess drowning is better than being blown to bits or crushed in basement.

      Cheychey, I envy you living at the lake. I would so love to be able to do that. It doesn’t even have to be lake front. We’ve been looking for a camping lot at a lake nearby us. We already have the camper and the pontoon. We just need the lot. If we finally get one, I’ll probably live in that camper 8 months out of the year instead of our house. That’s how much I love it. My husband and I worked as host/hostess at a state park for 3 months one summer and I loved every second of it. It was a bit crowded with 3 rotties and a cat living with us but it was still worth it.

      Get them good and tired outside so they will go to bed early and let you watch TV and have a beer in peace. My husband used to ask me why I would stay up late( when the kid was little) I told him I needed at least 4 hours with out hearing “Mama”.

    My husband and I went to the lake yesterday where our best friends have a camper for a big cookout. I’m 58 and our best friends are in their 30’s. Yeah I know but it works. We had boston butt cooked for about 8 hours, brisket, grilled chicken wings and legs, deviled eggs, pot. salad, green bean casserole, baked beans, cheese potatoes, fresh tomatoes, onions and cucumbers in vinegar, corn on the cob, and pasta salad. There was a quart jar of apple pie moonshine for tasting. Plenty of homemade dips for appetizers and several desserts. I made a peach cobbler that I did manage to get a couple of spoonfuls of for me. Obviously it was good because none of it was left. I ate more at that meal than I’ve eaten in over a week. Enjoyed the day, the company and will be making another peach cobbler today. Didn’t get enough to satisfy my craving lol.

      Sammie, it’s never easy to lose a a furbaby. It’s been over 3 years since I lost my Bogey and I can still cry at the drop of a hat over it. Sounds silly I know. However, he was my comfort when I broke my leg and developed CRPS. While I was in bed for over 6 months he was right there beside me. He was a 110 lb. Rottweiler and was very careful not to hurt me and would lick away my tears so I understand your loss. You have my prayers and healing thoughts as you mourn your loss.

    Scary here in south central Texas. We are waiting on 3 inch hail, wind gusts up to 70 mph, flash flooding, and a tornado watch. Just got out of a tornado warning but could happen again. Houston and Austin are flooded. Damn have way in Bastrop and in Wimberly and San Marcos (all 3 towns around Austin) the Comal River flooded causing damage to 300 hundred homes. The thunder and lightening is so bad right now. They are holding everyone in the arena from the game tonight in Houston.
