Sticky Buns Sunday

Taking a walk on St. Nicholas

Mitch Hangs a Hard Right

It's almost 8:00 and Evie and I and Marisa and Mitch are the only one's up on this beautiful Sunday morning.  Evie's in the kitchen with Marisa, getting the sticky buns put together, making piggies with the left over dough, and heating up the oil for deep fried dough, or churros of some sort or other.  Mitch, of course, is tethered to the couch, playing Call of Duty.  Tyler stayed up last night and watched, with me for the first hour, Sergio Leone's classic, ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA.  I remember watching it 30 years ago, but it was cut to attract American audiences.  This is the uncut version and it's over 3 and a half hours.  We had take out Chinese last night from a local noodle house which was quite good. especially their dumplings.  The boys loved them, as Tyler's buddy Brian, also was over till about 9:00.  I watched lots of basketball yesterday, caught the end of Pitts loss to Gonzaga, an amazing final ten seconds.  Today, a day of leisure, with the kids, though Evie's making sticky buns, and we are having Turkish Iskender kebabs for dinner (lamb in grilled patties, on pita, with tomato sauce and yogurt), the favorite of many of our children and grandchildren.  

We all hung out around the house today, Evie cooking and playing with Marisa, Mitch with buddies, skateboarding and playing video games, Tyler doing his homework, and Rami and I working on my photo album and watching the various basketball games.  Dinner was iskender kebabs, which everyone loved, and now we are waiting for fresh, hot sticky buns.
