Must be a Chicago thing…
NovySan got the invite for his high school reunion yesterday. It’s at the Hilton, in a town near the one he grew up.
The invitation included a brief description of the event. There’ll be an open bar - four hours worth of an open bar. This is a good thing. And dancing, yes. We like dancing. And a buffet. That’s alright. Nothing wrong with a buffet. But what’s on the buffet, that’s the question. Well, it appears to be… Heavy hors d’oeuvres.
Heavy. Hors d’oeurves.
Heavy. Hors. D’oeurves.
Nope. Still can’t wrap my head around that.
I’ll plan to take a camera. And maybe a scale.
Well, it sorta makes sense - Chicago style. They don’t serve light refreshments, it’s 2lb sausages with massive splinters, rather than pigs in a blanket with toothpicks. That’s how they roll!

And I’m sure some of them will need to be rolled out of the hotel by the end of the night.

any TANGO?
If you’re dancing the night away you shouldn’t have to worry about the HEAVY HORS D’OEURVES
Have loads of fun.
