Three Valentine’s Days ago, Jill was between houses. She sold her house on Olive, and was virtually homeless for a month before she could move into our new home.
Luckily, our friend Dede offered Jill a place to stay during this month.
Back then, I asked Jill what she wanted for Valentine’s Day. “Martha Stewart’s Mac & Cheese” was the reply.
That started our new tradition, christened “Fat Fest”. The three of us gather together, eat fatty foods, and enjoy each other’s company.
Last year, we went out for BBQ (Kielbasa Sausage), and followed up with Maggie Moo’s ice cream.
This year, we headed over to Art’s Place on College Avenue, and had their famous hamburgers.
We all ordered the “Art’s Hog Burger”, a burger made with a combination of ground beef, ground bacon, and onions. Add the double pepperjack cheese, a side of fries, and a pitcher of beer – that’s one hell of a good time.
Afterward, we headed over to Cold Stone Creamery for some yummy ice cream.
Can’t wait till next year!
