SLAW on the Road:
Cash recommended that we take SLAW on the road next week.  Team unanimously agreed. Check back next week's episode 16-18 for those blogs.

SLAW MUSIK:
Spa was listening to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan* this morning so she decided to put that song.  He is a Pakistani classical singer who was known all over the world (see below on his work).Cash and Mr X didn't really like any of this but Cruz had a great time listening to the song and seeing Spa dancing to it.


* Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
"Khan teamed with Peter Gabriel on the soundtrack to The Last Temptation of Christ in 1985, with Canadian musician Michael Brook on the albums Mustt Mustt (1990) and Night Song (1996),^[3] and with Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder in 1995 on two songs for the soundtrack to Dead Man Walking. He also contributed to the soundtrack of Natural Born Killers.

2nd month started on a lighter note with Mr X not at work today and Spa under the weather.  She brought 




1. E.A.T's Caesar Salad
2. E.A.T's Onion Rolls
3. E.A.T's Chicken vegetable soup
4. Raspberry Cookies

Cruz enjoyed his salad more than anything waited 3 years to have a E.A.T Caesar salad (thank you SPA), Cash enjoyed the cookies and Spa enjoyed cleaning the table after our Lunch.

Perfect meal for a cold day.  We all sat and shared our weekend stories with Spa's nephew visiting Santa, Cruz's brother getting married and Cash enjoying a nice weekend with some friends in a different State.


Mr X, Spa and Cash also visited FLO, the  evil lord of Nathan's cash register on Friday for some Nathan's. From what we hear she hasn't changed much...


We also talked about taking SLAW on the road next week which will spice things a bit.  SLAW ended with some nice dessert and Spa feeding the carpet.  A quiet, healthy, delicious SLAW indeed.  Sadly no PB&J action today.

Episode 12: Cash adds some meatballs to the mix and [sings] puff the magic dragon

Today, 12.08.10 marks our 1 month "anniversary". After 12 SLAWs and 5 pound gain each, SLAW is going strong and has evolved from a little lunch to a medieval feast with tons of bread/butter, desserts, meat, singing, dancing and dragons...

Cash Brought:
 - Italian leaf mix with cranberries, pecans, tomatoes, olives and feta with a home-made basil vinaigrette dressing
 - Meatballs (Mrs. Cash's grandfather recipe) with homemade tomato sauce
 - Apple spice loaf bread.
Cash mixed all the salad ingredients and SLAW started 9 minutes past 12.  Food was excellent (not just saying it, feel like eating that salad right now) but having 3 course meal during work hours is taking a toll on us. Guess what Mr X had today.  Yup it was a pb&j, the smart one.

To celebrate great John Lennon's 30th anniversary, Cash asked us to name some songs; songs that were believed to be referencing drugs, songs of the 60's and 70's...

Puff the magic dragon, Strawberry fields and Riding that train are few notable mentions.
