Every so often, I might catch the tail end of a conversation between Margot and a friend, either from across a table or on the phone.
I try to compute all this information into a vision and low and behold I end up usually with something as pictured on the left.
I don't know if she does this on purpose to try to make me a better person...........or if she is doing it just just to make herself .. happy. The true reason is not important.........what is really important is that she gets all the happiness one deserves being married to the guy pictured and..... if bitching will do it so be it.
Everyone needs a reason to ............keep living........it's no wonder that I constantly check the obituary each day to see if I can continue to keep ............the little women...........from just fading away into... cruisin' mode or...... "let's see how much of Vito's money I can spend today" Now..this is not to say that I am the perfect person to give Margot any reason to alterer any longterm plans, ........but I am. Margot still bitches on why she constantly finds clothes that I wore 10 years ago still hanging in the closet , even though, they might be a little worn or fit a little tighter than they did the day they were bought. Well, it's simply because I want.... HER to remember the better days and for.... ME to remember the younger days.....when the dreams of being able do young people things WERE REALITY. Occasionally though, I will find a sweater or old pair of pants in the Goodwill bag. ...."but, honey, this sweater is my gardening sweater (I hate gardening) or these pants are my ......bumming around pants.......seems like I'm constantly bumming around. To beat all though, I discovered my $900 Armani suit size 38 waist----42 chest, still in the cleaners plastic bag hanging on a hook marked DONATE TO THE POOR. Why in the world would you get rid of this perfectily good suit? suppose we have to go to a wedding or a funeral, what would I wear? Well, it always looks like it's tight on you .What do you mean it tight?? it just needs a little alteration.......perhaps an elastic waistband.......or extention buttons for the jacket. It's still a great suit. Wide lapels are coming back. Besides, if we donate this to the poor they will loose their status as..........."the poor"...........just think, they wouldn't be able to stand on the street corners asking for free money for their..........cafe a lay........
Bottom line..........I guess I'll continue to try and make her happy and give her a reason to...............bitch.

JUST IN CASE YOU ARE ONE OF US THAT WANT TO FLATTEN THAT
BULGE THAT HAS FOUND ITS WAY BETWEEN THE BREAST AND THE HIPS TRY THIS!!!!!
Ingredients
2 tbsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
4 (6-oz) red snapper fillets
2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 ½ tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup torn fresh basil
Directions
In a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pepitas (pumpkin seeds) lightly. Do not allow them to brown. As soon as you begin to smell them, take them off the heat. Preheat the oven to 400 ° F.
Sprinkle red snapper with 1 tsp salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet and place fillets skin side up in the hot oil and sear until it turns color. Turn fillets and add lemon juice, wine and butter to the pan. Add capers and tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes release some juices (for about 1 minute).
Place pan in the oven until the fish is finished and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes). Baste the fish with some juices and transfer to serving plates. Add 1/4 cup of basil, pepitas and salt to the pan and stir until the basil is wilted. Spoon the mixture over the fish and garnish with basil
Good Luck.
