Sunday Blue Law Blues


In Texas, you cannot buy distilled spirits on Sunday, even if you have a note from your doctor saying that Ina Garten's Beef Burgundy recipe is exactly what you need on a chilly March night and the cognac in it is absolutely essential to your wellbeing.

So FUCK YOU, Texas Blue Laws. This afternoon I'm going straight to the liquor store and chugging an entire bottle of Courvoisier. I'LL SHOW YOU.

    Seriously. My husband and I have agreed never to move to a state that has uncivilized liquor laws. I feel for you.

    Far be it from me to defend Texas's stupid liquor laws, but what happened to the bottle of cheap-ass cognac that I picked up for you a few weeks ago? And if the answer involves multiple iterations of beef burgundy, why didn't I get any? ;-)

    And this is one of the reasons I moved from TX to Louisiana. The wine and liquor selection at any grocery store is positively huge and available all the time. (it's not really the reason, but you do raise a pet peeve of mine with that law...what's the point of it?)

    I get super annoyed if I go to the grocery store early Sunday morning and forget that I can't get my booze for Sunday night's family dinner. And white we're on the subject of grocery stores those of you that live in states where they don't have liquor in your local groc, those stores suck too.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC.
