Sorry for left overs. I know that it is Sunday morning. I guess I am a couple days behind schedule. You can find Friday Feast at: http://fridaysfeast.blogspot.com/
Appetizer
What was your very first job with a paycheck?
Box boy (grocery bagger) in a supermarket in East LA.
Soup
Did you ever lose something really important to you?
Yes. Friends from high school. I also lost my song book from high school. We had an awesome schola, and wish I still had all the words to the songs I remember. I can’t find my high school ring either.
Salad
What is the best Christmas present you ever received?
Back in the early ’90s my folks got me a signed copy of Patrick Stewart as Jean Luc Picard. I don’t have it anymore, but I was very excited when I got it. I also got an iPod from a business colleague a couple years ago - it was one of the really expensive ones and it was totally unexpected.
Main Course
Tell about a favorite “hang out” place for you and your friends when you were in high school.
Tommy’s, definitely. Tommy’s is an LA institution. It serves the most outstanding, artery clogging chili burgers I have ever experienced. There was one in the San Fernando Valley that we went to for any celebration or pretty much any chance we could get (once we started driving). It was located across the street from a brewery, so the distinctive smell of hops went with the experience for me.
Dessert
Name something that always brings a smile to your face.
My children. My Wife. Seeing friends.
