This past weekend saw Tiger Woods involved in a serious car accident that reportedly resulted in facial injuries. Updated reports claimed  that the lacerations were actually caused by his wife Elin Nordegren who had a go at him because he was possibly sexy timing Rachel Uchitel ( a VIP hostess at prominent nightclubs).

Did Tiger bring out the driver on this one…

Most definately not putting from the rough hey Woody.

“Original reports claimed that Tiger had received lacerations to his face due to the car accident, and that apparently his wife had to used a golf club to free him from the wreck. Now it’s claimed that the order is wrong: that Tiger’s wife both scratched Woods face and attacked the car with a golf club as he tried to leave”. [Inquisitr]

Tiger Tiger Woods ya’ll.

UPDATE: “Tiger Woods has issued a statement saying he was “human and not perfect” following his bizarre late night car crash in which he hit a fire hydrant and a tree. ” [telegraph]

I was working as a restaurant hostess, when this guy came up to me and said that he wouldn’t stop bothering me unless I gave him my number.

Honestly, it’s part of what makes life’s challenges funny with Francy.  I’ve gotten to the point where I pretty much know what he’s going to say on any given occasion.  I can have the entire conversation by myself simply imitating his voice and responding.

But like the whole sandwich comment from a previous post, sometimes even though I know when it’s coming and have my long-range defense shields set up, Francy still says stuff I’ll never be able to get my head around.

You could have…-Last Saturday we had  that little get together I mentioned.  I feel that overall things went quite well.  No screaming between guests, no extreme racist or xenophobic ideologies being ranted.  Yet, when the last guest leaves (literally, I closed the door and it was the first thing he said) the most common expression I hear is “You could have…” Apparently I could have cut more slices of cake at dessert because there was lots of cake and people probably wanted more cake and they most likely thought there wasn’t more cake and people don’t like to ask if there’s more cake (really?) and in the end I deprived someone of their RDA of cake.   At this point I usually laugh, Francy gets huffy at my inability to accept his constructive criticism and we have to think it out a little more logically.

1.  Francy, did you know where the cake and knife were?

2.  Hadn’t I done an excellent job (overall) as hostess and therefore I should be forgiven if I didn’t slice enough cake?

3.  If someone wanted more cake and didn’t ask, shame on them.  I wasn’t bogarting the cake.

Maybe next time you should be more specific-On the tailwind of the “Why didn’t you make me this kind of sandwich?” remark we come across another peculiarity.  Not unlike most husbands or wives for that matter, every-so-often we have the discussion that someone needs to lose weight.  I’ve never cared if Francy weighed 70kg or 85kg, I just care about our health.  However, when he laments that he’s eating too much, I accept that I might be the culprit and look to react accordingly.  I’d previously been preparing 2 small sandwiches.  Francy is gone all day in some middle-of-nowhere part of the city.  Since I assume there is no one holding a gun to his head and forcing him to eat both sandwiches, he must’ve been eating them of his own free will.  So when he asked me to only make him one sandwich it really wasn’t a problem.  I made one sandwich and just in case he was still hungry later I added a small piece of cake (the very same cake mentioned above since after my cruel cake-denying ways we have a lot leftover).What did he tell me that evening at dinner?

“You know, the piece of cake you gave me was too small.  You should’ve given me a bigger slice.”

Again I am apparently trying to hoard this cake and keep it all for myself as I am screwing everyone out of their fair share.

Let’s go back to that whole logic thing.

1.  Didn’t you tell me you were eating too much?

2.  If I cut down on the sandwich portion of your lunch why on earth would I compensate by simply replacing it with cake?

3.  Next time per l’amor di Dio just TELL me how much cake you want!!!!

As I said earlier, all of this isn’t a problem.  It’s a little exasperating at times, but a problem no.  Thankfully because 8 times out of 10 Francy sees the light and we just laugh about it.

Then he tells me to remember who’s the boss.

Pues algo de belleza en el desfile del Gobierno del Distrito Federal…

Reseña: Docso

-Cell phones, Blackberrys,  iPhones, etc. should be shut off during holiday gatherings.  No sports scores, twittering, or texting is important during Holiday gathering.  It is just plain rude behavior. If you have Teens, teen texting should be discussed as being  not polite prior to arriving to holiday gatherings.  One should give their attention and focus to family and friends,  it’s why you are there.

-It’s not okay to change up Aunt Elizabeth’s table seating, no matter how far she put you from your significant other.  She’s your host, so  accept her wishes.  However you could always ask her nicely, before the meal to change it for you just respect her answer.  Interesting enough, these awkward moments of sitting next to strangers often lead to some pretty powerful new connections.

-A token gift for your host or hostess, is lovely gestures anytime of year, the old school Emily Post  etiquette says one is  NOT required.  However walking into a home or party empty-handed is just plain selfish and thoughtless.  Chocolates, candles, cute holiday napkins, 2010 calendar planner, home made cookies, wine, a plant, and a warm smile shows respect of being ask to be a guest.  If you want to be invited back, a hostess gift does matter in manners and etiquette.  This small token of appreciation is a example of class, etiquette, and manners.   Lets Face it, entertaining costs money, takes time, and should be appreciated in 2009.

-Volunteering as a family.  Not only does this give you a chance to spend time together this Holiday Season, but it is also perhaps the best way to show your children the importance of giving back.  Children naturally mimic their parent’s actions, so they will be much more inclined to get involved if you do, too.

-A lovely way to stay in touch  is Holiday cards, but if you don’t have the money or time, it’s okay to skip a year as you can always pick up sending them out next year. You can also cut back the list,  but if it’s a question of time, send them a week or two into the New Year.

-Spending holidays with family is a tradition.  If your single, and you siblings are married with kids.  You can begin to dread going home to family and their “why aren’t you married?   Single People, there’s nothing wrong with delivering an ultimatum if your single.  “Ask why I’m not married, even once, and I’m off to the tropics with friends.”  You matter too.

Oltre cento navi da crociera all’Isola Bianca. Una risorsa importante che significa decine di migliaia di turisti in più ogni anno, bocconcini offerti su un piatto d’argento agli esercenti del centro storico. Ma proprio da loro, i commercianti, non arrivano le risposte attese.Ci vorrebbero nuove idee e iniziative per ripagare la fiducia dei visitatori e, magari, qualche sorriso in piu da parte di coloro che stanno aldilà della vetrina.
L’analisi senza ruffianerie porta la firma di Paolo Piro, iI presidente dell’Autorità portuale in prima fila per la valorizzazione di questo tipo di turismo. Concetti che compaiono nella relazione letta dal presidente sabato scorso al convegno dell’Expo. Piro parte dall’atteggiamento degli esercenti di Porto Torres, che hanno subito unito le forze per capitalizzare la risorsa crociere, contrariamente a quanta avvenuto in Gallura.. «Devo però constatare una risposta ancora trappo debole al fenomeno del crocierismo ad Olbia – scrive Piro, che aggiunge: ricordo che le navi in porto, quest’anno, sono state 117. Un numero che ci porta nel novero dei transit port del Mediterraneo. Mi dispiace dover rimarcare una vena di disappunto».Vanno bene le iniziative del Consorzia Centro città, vanno bene quelle dell’associazione esercenti di viale Aldo Moro, «ma non basta». L’accoglienza verso coloro che scendono dai palazzi galleggianti resta fredda, lasciata un po’ all’ improvvisazione «Mancano i piccoli accorgimenti - spiega Piro – dettagli per i quali non servono grosse cifre». Ad esempio «una cartellonistica in doppia lingua che indichi i principali monumenti del centro, delle hostess che conoscano le lingue straniere e che possono essere reclutate, a costa zero, delle scuole superiori di Olbia, tra tutte il Turistico Panedda e il Linguistico». E poi, pizzicotto quasi amichevole ma destinato a fare male, «qualche sorriso in più da parte degli esercenti».Recentemente – rincara Piro, riferendosi al caso Fargion, siamo stati tacciati di favoritismi nei confronti di un’imprenditrice toscana che ha cercato di intercettare i crocieristi per portarli, a bordo di un autobus, nel suo centro commerciale. Provocatoriamente, credo che questo sia servito a risvegliare un po’ le coscienze. A far comprendere che si stava perdendo un’occasione importante, una fonte di guadagno, seppure limitata, ma in più rispetto al solito movimento». Chissà se qualcuno lo ha capito davvero

E’ record, almeno per quanto riguarda me e quelli che conosco.

A neanche un mese dalla nascita di questo blog ricevo una minaccia di querela per i miei post intitolati hostess vs escort che, lo dico per chi non lo sa, significa hostess contro escort.

Eccola:

Vi preannunciamo una querela per diffamazione con richiesta di tutti i danni morali ed economi correlati.
ha definito le ragazze hostess che hanno preso parte all’incontro con gheddafi delle ESCORT.

Penso che la gravità di tale affermazioni non necessiti di commenti, chi tiene un sito ha il dovere legale e morale di controllare cosa venga scritto nel forum cosa che nel vostro caso non è stato fatto per cui sarà nostra cura fare una causa che ricorderete, chiedere l’immediata chiusira di questo scempio di deficiebza ed avvisare le nostre oltre 60.000 iscritte dell’accaduto affinchè valutino che strada. da parte nostra abbiamo fatto delle copie della pagine allo stato attuale dai nostri tecnici e stiamo girando tutto al nostro ufficio legale.

Notare le deficienze ortografiche. Secondo me è un falso.

Ad ogni modo, ecco la mia replica.

Gentile Dott.ssa Yvonne Di Vito. Queste, a me, sembrano minacce. Non ho scritto nulla di ciò di cui parla. Non tengo un forum e modero i commenti ai pezzi sul mio blog. Vengo volentieri in tribunale a parlarne. Sempre che lei esista davvero.

Vi terrò aggiornati.

I know I’ve been harping on about how macaroons are the next cupcakes. But given the fact that whoopie pies are in every grocery store and bakery lately, I’ve had to reconsider. (Also, if you think about it, whoopie pies are close cousins to cupcakes. Just lop off the bottom half of a cupcake and reattach it to the top, like a cupcake sandwich. You end up with a whoopie pie-like creature.) 

The thing that bums me out about most whoopies pies is that they taste like a variation on a Devil Dog. So it’s exciting to see that B. Hall, Baker (featured in DailyCandy DC today, http://bit.ly/2jGZLs) is bringing us ones made with gourmet ingredients. With flavors ranging from Raspberry Red Velvet to Dulce de Leche, this ain’t no Hostess creation.

These babies are available by mail order and for local pick-up on select dates.

And for you bakers out there, this white-chocolate whoopie pie recipe from The Washington Post is pretty good. http://bit.ly/8Jhv1

Il destino del derby machista sembrava ormai segnato: Gheddafi, all’inizio del secondo tempo, appariva padrone del campo, avendo schierato un altro centinaio di hostess.

E, nonostante Berlusconi gli avesse opposto il proprio lato giullaresco in sede FAO affermando che il libico era un po’ troppo prolisso, nulla era più parso in grado di opporsi ad un finale di gara tutto a favore del cineaico.

Ma mentre scorrevano gli ultimi minuti del tempo regolamentare, e cioé durante il secondo incontro hostess-Muammar, Berlusconi – come riporta l’ANSA – è riuscito rocambolescamente a pareggiare:

“cosa pensa delle feste di villa Certosa e delle polemiche che ne sono seguite?”, ha chiesto una bella ragazza mora, riccia, con un tailleur nero, tacchi vertiginosi. Gheddafi l’ha guardata e ha alzato il dito indice della mano destra portandolo alla bocca in segno di silenzio. (fonte)

Un palese segno di resa, anche se questo è il classico golletto che si subisce perché si gioca in casa.

Quanto a ciò che si sono detti Gheddafi e Berlusconi nell’incontro di ieri sera non lo sa nessuno.

O perlomeno nessuno lo ha riportato.

Doveva essere roba imbarazzante.

So perhaps as a joke, Mr Shuck brought home a box of Hostess Cupcakes for me to review.  My first observation is that Hostess Cupcakes are a bargain!  $2.99 for 8!   My initial cupcake was completely consumed, so I guess it’s not THAT bad, considering I have left some cupcakes on the plate recently.  (By this very act, I think I have demonstrated to myself that I’m not a cupcake snob.)   The cake is okay….it’s moist and chocolatey…a little sticky in the teeth.    The icing, on the other hand, is HORRIBLE!  It tastes like plastic and has a waxy texture.  The white filling doesn’t have a lot of flavor.  I assume it’s sweetened shortening or something.  It adds a nice mushiness in the center.

Last night, I made ganache as I intended to make cupcakes tonight, but am not in the mood now.  I made 1/2 with cinnamon and ancho chili powder and the other half just plain.  It hardened up a bit too much, so I added some warm cream today in an attempt to increase the fat content and have it cool down softer for baking tomorrow.   The last 2 Hostess cupcakes ended up drenched in warm ganache: plain for me and spicy for Mr Shuck.  I must say that a Hostess cupcake topped with slightly warm ganache is AMAZING.   You can’t taste the plastic icing when it’s covered with Callebaut bittersweet chocolate ganache.

I wish I had taken the time to take a picture before cramming the yumminess down my gullet.

I pulmini della so­cietà «Hostessweb» arrivano in fila indiana in via Cortina d’Am­pezzo e si fermano a qualche de­cina di metri dalla blindatissima villa. Scendono ragazze, tante ra­gazze. Con spolverini di cache­mire , tailleur. Nessuna in mini­gonna. Tacchi alti sì, ma niente scollature. Sono tutte lì per il Co­lonnello. Pensano di andare a una «serata di gala», ma non sanno che le aspetta una lezione di Islam nella quale si sentiran­no dire: «Ma lo sapete che al po­sto di Gesù hanno crocifisso uno che gli somigliava?». Ad accoglierle davanti alla re­sidenza dell’ambasciata c’è uno schieramento di libici con il tur­bante bianco e adesso loro, un po’ intimidite, si sottopongono alle misure di sicurezza: passa­no attraverso il metal detector, si scambiano occhiate di auto­rassicurazione e poi via, entrano nella sontuosa sala con divani bianchi e rossi disposti a ferro di cavallo. Gheddafi atto secondo.

Un volta arrivato a Roma per il vertice FAO,  Moammar Gheddafi, ha ricevuto più di 100 hostess presso la sua residenza in Via Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Il tutto era finalizzato a una sorta di lezione sull’islam e sulla Libia in cui il presidente dell’Unione africana e Re dei Re tradizionali dell’Africa sembra aver cercato di fare proselitismo affermando cose peraltro ben note, e cioè che per l’islam Cristo non morì sulla croce.

Stasera, alle ore 20, Moammar incontrerà Berlusconi a palazzo Chigi. Vediamo se il nostro premier riuscirà a replicare allo sfoggio di potenza maschile. Ne ha di certo la possibilità economica.

Certamente parleranno di donne e motori. E, a margine, di affari.

Mi piacerebbe sapere cosa pensa la Santanché – nota femminista e partigiana dell’islam moderato – di tutto questo. Il suo movimento proprio qualche giorno fa, è confluito nella Casa delle Libertà.

(ANSA) – ROMA, 15 NOV – ”Cercasi 500 ragazze, piacevoli, tra i 18 ed i 35 anni, alte almeno m. 1,70, ben vestite” per serata di Gala con Gheddafi. Ma non scollate o in minigonna. Il colonnello, arrivato a Roma per il vertice Fao, non perde l’occasione per far parlare di se’, trascorrendo le sue serate ‘romane’ tra belle ragazze. Un’idea che ha messo in moto le agenzie di reclutamento di hostess per convegni.All’appuntamento, di stasera, si sono presentate circa duecento ragazze.

Let’s face it. Life happens, and sometimes it’s almost impossible to feel pretty. So, here’s an invitation for you! Take time out and go to your pretty place.

NBC Weekend Today AM featured RabLabs agate platters on a segment called Best Kept Secrets: Hottest Hostess Gifts. The platters they chose were in the $55-70 range. RabLabs is first in the segment so no need to skip through the video! If you want Brazilian agate platters for the hostess with the mostest in your life, you can find them here.

The first time I tasted these, they were the sweet favors at my friend Lindsey’s wedding. I rushed over to her to find out what fancy confectionary outfit she purchased these babies from.

They were amazing, thick dark chocolate, crunchy toasty almonds, large bits of turbinado sugar, but most glorious of all, obscenely large hunks of salt. Lindsey lowered her voice and said “Trader Joe’s,” and a love affair was born.

I am recommending these as the hostess gift of the 2009 holiday season, but don’t forget to buy a box for yourself. Or, if you open the box and repackage in a schmancy container, maybe a few will fall out and  you’ll be forced to eat them.

Last time out, the Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Roll did the impossible, taking out the Hostess Cupcake, which many thought was the frontrunner to win SnackBracket. Now in round 2, it’s going to have to do it again as it faces yet another American icon, the Zinger. Can Little Debbie pull off a second miracle win?

We all know who he is once he walks into a restaurant.  Depending on if you’re in the restaurant industry, your spidey-sense may start tingling the moment he decides to dine in your establishment.  He is the restaurant customer who will have his food spit in during the course of the evening.

Pre-meal:  After calling a few days in advance and making reservations for a party to ten, he swaggers into the restaurant an hour and a half late with only one other dining guest.  It appears his bottle of Drakkar Noir spilled all over him as he was getting ready for the evening because the host could smell him coming and it was so bad that they were considering calling the local haz-mat team to check out the mysterious yet foul odor.  He proceeds to get upset that his table has been given away after it has been held for an hour.  Although he was told over the phone that he wouldn’t be seated until his entire party was present, he gets defensive and agitated that he and his guest can’t be seated right away.  After his tantrum passes, he is begrudgingly led to his table.  However, after about two minutes he gives his server the proverbial finger and tells them that the remaining eight guests won’t be showing up and it is just two for dinner tonight.  Have fun taking apart eight place settings and removing two tables because he will be watching the server like a hawk and making asinine comments about how unprepared the restaurant is.

At the table:  Once the table is broken down, he proceeds to get on his phone.  Not only is he on his phone and Bluetooth the entire time the server is taking orders, he makes sure to talk loud enough that everyone knows the results from his most recent std test and that because they came back negative, he will be out partying it up later with his club promoter pals.  Graciously, he pauses in his phone conversation just long enough to order an entrée that is not on the menu.  In addition, he unilaterally decides to make substitutions to his sides and appetizers.  While the food is being prepared, he proceeds to order round after round of shots getting him and his dinner companion considerably drunk.  After hitting on his server and the bartender bringing the shots, he begins to sloppily make out with his dinner guest and gets into it so much that it reminds him of the beginning of his favorite food related movie, Julie does Julia.  At least it could be worse, he could have brought his damn wiener kids who don’t behave, have no semblance of manners, and are barely coordinated enough to get 10% of the food they throw at their faces in their mouths.

Post-meal:  Although he finished his meal nearly an hour ago, he is still at his table keeping his server there after their shift was scheduled to end.  When he is finally ready to go, he snaps at the server and repeatedly makes check signs in the air until he catches their attention.  Once he gets the check, the issue of the tip comes to the forefront.  He has to decide how and how much, if any, he would like to tip.  When he walked in and was seated, he placed twenty dollars in ones on the table and told his server that this would be their tip and every time they make a mistake he will take a dollar away.  Although he took away quite a few dollars for nitpicky things he made sure to point out to the server, he is toying with cleaning out his parking money stash and tipping in all change.  Like the Grinch who suddenly grew a heart, he fights the urge to not tip and leaves a whopping 11% gratuity on the check.  And as he signs his credit card receipt, he steals the server’s last pen to boot.

After being such as classy and agreeable restaurant patron, he wonders why that little voice in the back of his head says to check all his food for spit prior to eating it every time he goes out.
