An older friend passed away recently and his visitation was tonight. ID was a full time farmer and part time business man. His obituary described him perfectly; he was a gentleman’s gentleman. Therefore I decided to wear my suit, although I expected to be one of very few (if any) dressed to that level. It is a rural area, so mostly only the older folks dress up. Glen Plaid suit by Paul Betenly-charcoal colored Light blue dress shirt-David Donahue Tie-Blue Foulard silk from The Dark Knot (Thanks, @Antonio O. Centeno !) Shoes- Allen Edmond burgundy wingtip brogues (Thanks, eBay) Belt-Anson burgundy Socks- dark blue Calvin Klein Pocket Square- dark blue, no pattern I’d like the coat to be cut an inch longer, and my pants need to be re-pressed…they drape oddly at the bottom. Otherwise, I think I’m good to go! Accompanied, of course by my wife of 44 years, Cindy.

I like to cook. I also like to eat. One of my favorite things to ask people is: If you knew you could only eat 1 food for the rest of your life, what would it be? It could be a dish you remember from childhood, or something you have grown to love as an adult. Maybe it is a chocolate covered twinkie. What would be the only food you could eat for the rest of your life? I have to edit as I am looking for a finished dish and not BLANK cause I can make it so many ways. So not, linguini cause i can make it carbonara, or with clam sauce etc. Alternate question if you're not a foodie, if you could only pick 1 bourbon for the rest of your life what would it be? I would also accept scotch, whiskey, and tequila entries.
