Tonight I stopped in at one of my favorite neighborhood haunts for a raspberry spritzer and a nibble.
I didn’t want to take a table, so I sat at the bar and chatted with the barmaid.
Or should I say bartender? Or barperson?
You know all this having to watch every word you say makes me crazy sometimes.
It reminds me of when the term MS came out. Everywhere you went you heard; “that’s Ms. So and So to you thank you.”
Wonder if anyone still uses the term?
I still read Ms. Magazine from time to time, and it still has some great articles.
There I go rambling again.
Well the term Ms reminded me of the magazine, and the magazine reminds me of Gloria Steinem.
Gloria Steinem reminds me of Playboy because she was a bunny.
Playboy bunnies remind me of one of my favorite old TV shows The Odd Couple, because there was a whole show about Felix’s wife wanting to be a Playboy bunny. The Odd Couple reminds me of my grandmother, because she always said my room was as sloppy as Oscar’s.
And my grandmother reminds me of so many things that I could blog for hours.
Oh and by the way did you know Reddi Wip is spelled without an H?
I just noticed a can sitting on the bar.
As you can see from the pic I took with my camera phone there is no H.
What can I tell you - I notice things like this.
Okay so what does whip cream remind you of?

Hmm. I am embarrassed to admit that I just had to walk in the kitchen and LOOK at the can of Reddi Wip in my fridge to see if it too has no H - because as many times as I’ve seen those cans in my life - I never noticed that!
But to answer your question, it reminds me of all those yummy desserts I try to avoid. “Try” I said.

It reminds me of my childhood when we would get the can out of the fridge, open our mouths wide and squirt to capacity!

I loved this post, it might have been “rambly” but it was also very revealing about you. In a good way!

Whipped cream reminds of getting hot chocolate (with whipped cream) and Philly soft pretzels with spicy mustard in the basement café of my law school–my 4 to 5 pm snack on many, many days over three years.
That café reminds me of my recent trip to Palermo, Sicily b/c that was the name of the place–I believe it was the family’s last name.
My trip to Palermo reminds me that I *still* have posted my photos to Flickr or blogged about my new favorite city….
Grazie
