Ah..what a great spring weekend! Air is filled with pollen, lawns are lush, flowers are blooming..and to top the weekend off, it's Mother's Day. I spent the weekend seeped in Maryland tradition. Friday evening, we headed to the Oriole game with my extended family. My nephew was singing with his choir and we were there to support him and our bedraggled baseball team. We managed to finagle awesome seats right behind homeplate (thanks to a lack of attendance) and hung in there to the bitter end, only to see them lose, again. The stadium is spruced up-and the food is better. Maybe not lesser expensive. My brother paid 6.25 for a hog dog. And crab cakes were 12.00. No kidding.
Saturday, we attended a bull and oyster (or in this case, shrimp), which might really be an Anne Arundel county tradition. You gorge on shrimp,pit beef, ham, turkey, and sides..most of which are canned or instant. Skip that-stick with the bull and shrimp. All you can drink beer, wine and soda, money wheel..that's about it. Oh, and music..which is this case was a couple, looking haggard and tired, who got very nervous if you asked for some current dance music. Their stock answer was to give them a title because they did not know the current music. Really? Bull roasts seem common only to this area. How lucky can one be?
Off to buy a snowcone. That's another whole story.
