Good Monday to you all.
Well, the karaoke beat goes on. Last Friday it was a tribute to Sir Mix-A-Lot with "Baby Got Back", Digital Underground with "The Humpty Dance", a messed up version of MC Hammer's "2 Lgit 2 Quit, and Snoop's "Gin and Juice". Everybody had fun though, that's all the matters. Like the saying goes...What happens at karaoke, stays at karaoke.
Being Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we all need to revisit the dream and make it a reality. I don't want to get too much into race and all that, so you all know what you need to do to make this world a better place to live in, so just do it.
Today is also the celebration of the birthday of one of the greatest poets ever to live, Edgar Allen Poe. Go and get a copy of any of his poems, sit back, start reading, and enjoy. If my 8th grade English teacher, Mrs. Brug, heard me say that, she would drop dead in her tracks.
If you had this holiday off, enjoy. If you were like me and had to work, try to get off early like me and go home to rest.

Happy "National Thank God It's Monday!" Day
Who would have ever thought that there would be a holiday to celebrate Mondays, the most hated day of the week? I have always hated Mondays...until today. Today is the best day ever! A simple reply I received this morning, to a text message that I sent last night, is all it took. The bell peppers smell sweeter, the warehouse doesn't seem as cold, and T even looks a little prettier today. Could it be love? Stay tuned and find out soon.

First Day Back After The New Year Holiday 2009
Welcome to 2009!!!
To all of my followers, I hope you had as much fun as I did for New Year's. As I informed you in a previous post, T Williams (our Facilities Manager) and the band he plays in (Borderline) were the entertainment for the New Year's Party at the American Legion Post 61 Avondale. Myself and three other guys from work attended the show and had a great time. The band was great with their steroid pumped renditions of old and new country. T took the time to introduce us to his bandmates, which was cool. My favorite was the closing song, Neon Moon, I can picture myself in my own version of the video with a black Stetson on. What the made the night enjoyable, besides the music, was the people of Post 61. Everybody was friendly, there were no problems due to alcohol, and it only takes fifty cents to play a game of pool.
Needless to say the guys and I closed down the place. After we headed up Dysart to the IHOP for breakfast. Some of us needed it more than others (right Andy?). While waiting for a table we met Sue, Helen (my favorite), and Suresh. Our party grew from seven to ten, just like that. Sue made Gabe's night even better, Gabe tried valiantly to flirt with her over the entire breakfast. I tried throwing myself at Helen but she might have been on a date with Suresh (I think that's how you spell his name). The girls asked what we did for a living and one thing led to another and that led to this..."I'd like to give a big Peddler's Son Produce shout out to Sue and Helen for being such good sports and putting up with our loud mouths over breakfast." Oh yeah, Helen, call me 602.423.6369 (wink wink).
If you'd like to share your New Year's happenings, comment to this post. Have a good weekend everybody and if you're in the Phoenix metro area tonight, I'll be doing karaoke at the American Legion Post 1 Phoenix. Drop on by and cheer me on.

Tis the holiday season
Happy Wear Brown Shoes Day!!! Do work boots count? If they do, I'm being trendy today. Another holiday today is (Inter)National Dice Day. If you like dice check out this video, Happy (Inter)National Dice Day!
I love the holiday season.
As we head into the first weekend of December, let's think about our favorite dishes for the Christmas holiday. Bill Kroener, our Facilities Manager, thinks fondly about all the Prime Rib with mashed potatoes that he's enjoyed during the holiday seasons past. Our Vice-President of Retail Sales, Mark Damato remembers a long lasting family tradition that started with his great-grandmother, his family makes homemade ravioli during the holidays. (Funny, I've been around Mark for three Christmases now and I've never tasted his family's homemade ravioli. I think he's been holding out on me!) T Williams, our General Manager, made my mouth water when he told me about his favorite holiday dish, roulade. It seems that you take some pounded out round steak, fill it with bacon, roll it up, brown it in a skillet, put a little water in to make a gravy out of the drippings later, serve it up, and enjoy. Doug Kaufman, one or our beloved warehouse guys, has fond memories of his mother-in-law and her green been casserole. Green bean casserole is a classic dish found on many holiday tables but Doug says that he has never tasted anything better or as good as his late mother-in-law's. Amanda McLachlan, our sales representative for the Scottsdale/Paradise Valley area, tells a tale of a squash pie that her father makes. It consists of Grand Mariner and homemade whipped cream topping. I apologize, I didn't mean to drool through your computer monitor.
Now it comes time for my favorite holiday dish...homemade pork tamales. My family has been making homemade tamales since I can remember. My late grandmother's recipe is the best that I've ever tasted and I'm not just being biased. It seems that the matriarchs of my family, starting with my great-grandmother Acosta, have been tweaking the same recipe for generations, but what they all have in common is that each individual tamale contains two raisins. Now that you know my family's secret recipe, I will be knocking on your doors to silence all of you. (Insert evil laugh here.)
If you would like to tell the Produce Guru about your favorite holiday dish, post a comment to this blog or email me at bridge@peddlersson.com. We will also be posting more holiday recipes and goodies, so come back and check us out.
