Before we get to the five questions, I know I was supposed to post pics from Tony’s workshop yesterday. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I inadvertently deleted all the photos! The good news is that I was able to go back in time and download the pics from my remote backup server! So I hope to have the pics uploaded for tomorrow. Now to the questions:
Q: Where is the largest collection of Fiesta salt & pepper shakers that you have ever seen?
Eric: Tony’s dining room of course!
Q: What did I miss at Tony’s workshop when I was in Chicago?
Eric: Lots of laughs. You missed Becky Willi busting Tony about the original thirteen colonies and other distorted stories of the past. She had everybody laughing especially when she made a statement that she doesn’t talk a lot. She talked the whole darn time! And what a potty mouth! It will be interesting to see if Tony will allow her back again.
Q: What was your favorite restaurant while at Tony’s?
Eric: The forty minute wait at Pappy’s was definitely worth it for the smoked ribs and sweet potato fries. I highly recommend it for people near St. Louis. However, my linguini and clams at Zia’s and their signature salad dressing wins it again this year.
Q: What aggravated you this week?
Eric: Using Tony’s dull band saw to cut notches in the Shaker Apple Baskets! He profusely claimed that it was a new blade.
Q: Maybe it was a new blade. Why was it dull?
Eric: I asked Tony, “If this is a new blade, what were you cutting with it, metal?” And he stated, “No. I was using it to cut plexiglass squares for the back base of my stamps.”
That’ll do it!
Up early again (4:30 am) for the Missouri Basketweavers Guild convention, I didn’t expect to be laughing out loud this early in the morning!
Thanks,
Tony
That’s what I’m here for!
Zias, PAPPY’S And Crown Candy Kitchen! That insane BLT! Ted Drewes ice cream is awesome! Every time I go to see Tony it’s like what are we going to eat! Lol. Sounds like you guys had a blast!
I know. Too much eating in St. Louis.
