Today in place of your normally scheduled entry, I give you a bunch of whiny crap, a couple of links, and a recipe. OK? So you�ve been warned.
Whiny Crap.
I like the way �crap� looks capitalized. Crap. It�s official.
Today I had to unload 144 cases of Drinky-Drink all alone. In the raging hot sun (why is the sun so angry?). Alone. My back, arms, and everything else hurt. Why did I have to do this? Because the shipment came 2 hours late and there was no one to help me, because I had scheduled them to be somewhere else by then. Sucks ass, my friends, sucks ass indeed.
A Couple Of Links.
This site is for emiloo�s husband (who�s name is NOT Sean, don�t let anyone convince you that it is). However, anyone that hates their job (I�m looking at you, amblus), should check it out. I recommend the kiss off quiz. It told me that I shouldn�t quit my job because, even though it might annoy me sometimes, I�m relatively happy. Spot on.

A Recipe
In honor* of the hot, hot summer I give you the recipe to some kick-ass pasta salad. I can�t remember who I got his from, so if it was you, thanks! It�s quite delicious!
Delicious Pasta Salad
For the dressing�
2 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 C. sundried tomatoes
1/4 C. red wine vinegar
2 Tbs. capers
2 cloves garlic
Put all of these in the blender and blend until smooth.
For the salad�
1 lb. cooked pasta (I use bowties)
1 lb. ripe roma tomatoes (heirloom tomatoes are the bomb)
1/2 lb. fresh mozzerella, cut into a small dice
1 small bunch fresh basil, cut into thin strips (chiffonade)
1/2 C. finely grated parmesan (the good stuff)
1/4 C. olives, chopped finely (I prefer kalatmata or niscoise)

1 C. blanched asparagus tips
toss all the ingredients and chill.
*A guy I dated in college was in a particularly obnoxious fraternity, and they had this horrible toast that the president gave every Christmas. It went:
�To honor!
And gettin� honor!
And if you get off her�
Get back honor!�
Or something like that. Honestly, I was drunk.
