I am a kid once again, full of envy. Monday night I went by my friend’s, Jeremy Hill, place before we went out for dinner. When I was there I got a quick tour and found this incredible collection of Nerf guns hung neatly on his office wall. If Connor happens to see this I can predict his Christmas wish list and a future purchase of some pegboard.
Yeah. It is a gumball, but not just any gumball. This morning my son followed me downstairs as I prepared to leave for work. I was already running late, but it was obvious he needed a few minutes with me before I left for the day. He told me in short order about his evening having dinner with his Grandmother and a trip to the candy store. He asked me if I had seen his bag of candy, because he had something for me in it. Now in that bag was Jelly Bellys, rock candy and a big green gumball. If you know me you know I love Jelly Bellys and if you know Connor you know he has a fascination for gumballs. So, I was expecting that he would be handing me some Jelly Bellys, but he beamed from ear to ear and pulled out the big green gumball. He went on to tell me how he picked the gumball out for me, because he thought I would like it and he missed me. He reached out and handed me the gumball and said, eat it. But I couldn’t eat it at that moment, because it became a reminder of my son’s love and how he missed me when I was at work and not around. I carried that gumball in my pocket all day and it has reminded me that my most important job is a father and to be there for my son and my daughters.
DC Deli Pulled Pork PoBoy
My family and I were camping last week in Door County and Monday happened to be a rainy day, so we decided to hit a local restaurant for lunch. After we drove into Sister Bay and walked around the marina we ended up at DC Deli for a quick lunch. We chose it because we wanted a sandwich and it was labeled a deli, but it also helped that it was next to the local confectionery and I had a sweet tooth that needed some comfort. We were immediately greeted with a smile and allowed to seat ourselves. The service from the time we entered the door until we left was friendly and attentive, which always earns huge points in my eyes, especially with 3 kids. As we went through the menu I was told about the specials, of which the first item was a Pulled Pork PoBoy. The server, Candice, told me the sandwich consisted of house-smoked pork, slaw, tomatoes, and Creole Mayo on a French baguette with Fries. I was hungry and it sounded great. When the food arrived the PoBoy was beautiful and thankfully made the way pulled pork should be made, dry not drowning in sauce. The pork was smoky, tender, and had a generous serving of coleslaw that was sweet with a little bitter bite, just the way I like it. This sandwich was what all should strive to be, perfect! If you happen to get to Door County, go to Sister Bay and stop in DC Deli, it is well worth the trip.
