New Project: Holiday Weekend Wedding

Posted by on
If you haven't been able to pick this up by now, I'm not one to hold back my opinion on some things.  Nat insists that I think that the entire world should think just the way I think on some things.  And, I guess that's true.  I do, often, wish that the world thought the way I did on a bunch of topics. 

But, I'm not sitting by and leaving it up to luck that people will come around on some topics.  

If you've followed along at all over the years, you know I have an opinion on when it is acceptable to listen to Christmas music.  And I tried to do something about skunks in Elmhurst.  

Today, I'm excited to release my latest web project. 

The wedding industry is chock'd full of advice sites.  How-to guides.  Tip sheets.  Consultants.  In fact, my wife Natalie was an award-winning member of the industry for a bit. 

My project is aimed at the wedding industry.

It is an advice website called "Holiday Weekend Wedding". 

The goal of the project is to answer the question to prospective brides and grooms:  Should I have a holiday weekend wedding?  

The answer is simple.  And can be found here:  http://wwwholidayweekendwedding.com/.  


Have someone in your life that is getting married?  Do they (and, frankly all of *us*) a favor and pass the link to the site along to them.  Nobody wants to have their holiday weekend ruined by having to deal with a wedding.  We're talking Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years.   Even Father's Day, Mother's Day.  Pick another weekend.  

I can hear your reasoning right now:  "Hey...with a holiday weekend wedding, all of our out-of-town guests can come and spend the weekend with us.  Doing the wedding on a holiday weekend is actually *easier* for everyone."

Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...

Overwintering Disneyland Roses With Leaf Mulch - Floribunda Roses - December 2024

Posted by on

Yesterday, I posted photos of how I'm attempting to overwinter some Dahlia tubers in the ground and in a couple of those pics, you might have peeked at the chicken wire cages next to the piles of mulch on the dahlia tubers.  Those chicken wire cages are full of fallen leaves and are set on top of the three Disneyland Rose crowns along the southside of our house. See below for a couple of photos showing how I set up the ring of chicken wire and filled it with mulched-up leaves: These roses struggled this year, so here's hoping this little bit of extra Winter protection is going to help them get through the cold.
