I was talking to friends about our "favorite jobs ever!" Mine was working at a liquor store in "The Thumb" of Michigan. My friends could come in and play guitar, carry on a board game AND I got to chop wood and load ice.
I want to mention Mrs. Bridget Childs and say that, as a 20-something, she really did excellent in running this store. Bridget was skilled in stocking, managing and marketing her liquor store. Unfortunately, the store was in a lousy location--not close enough to any town to catch the business needed to keep a beach liquor store open.
I did get this job after dressing up nicely and askng for a job at every store in a 20 mile radius. Sometimes, knocking door to door will get you inside.
This is from when I got to do the sign, circa 1998.. And our friend, Mary, who worked at the state park. Before she ran away to Spain :)
...and this is the old truck, that drove me to Cali and back more than a few times...and taught me the gentle art of Christmas Eve hitch-hiking. (...yeah, to home. More than once)
and a wee bit of super simple enchilada. This is quickly modified tomato sauce, along with some refried beans and 5 minutes of our precious time.
Perhaps I am beating a dead horse, mais j'ai dit TAVO prends tout est pour toi.Y deseo que hablo español.. and regardless of all, here is what I was into in 1998

How I miss enchilada... I haven't eaten enchildas for ages!
its funny how subjective memory lane is, I have a young friend that can remember 'all the way back to the first toy story...' I like hearing about peoples memories and recollections!
A take-out liquor store I haven't been in- IN MICHIGAN?!!! Hard to believe, you really must have been off the beaten path...
Ahhhh memory lane is so great!
Now that finger in the mouth picture would so get 'Chef' in trouble, lol
Love the enchilada's!
Selba--oh, I love them! Of course I kind of cheated with the flour tortillas...
Doggy--yeah, I was going through the "late 90's" photo albums last night
Buffalo--have you been to Caseville? How about 3-4 miles east of Caseville ;)
Chef!! I was thinking the same thing!! Luckily, it was just Tavo and I and he doesn't mind...
You know what? I think I'm going to pull that picture. Seriously, people, I do not do that EVER do that when I'm cooking for others.
Haha sounds like a fun job... anytime there's guitar involved, it must be fun :o)
Nooooo do not cook that nice bundle of beautiful soft green 'licious! Use it as a soft blanket as I did...
I LOVE enchiladas!
Well I got to think about favorite jobs and wrote about my favorite job on my blog. Good idea.
BTW... I like the sign. ;-)
Honestly, Alex, you may be the only person who remembers this truck.
Unless...actually, you probably knew my nice honda civic that was broken into 6+ times. Man, I replaced broken windows with almost half my salary junior year...
