november 22 2009. all it took was two quarters and a little bit of teamwork.
after getting completely tricked by the new highway ramps in the city we grew up in, my sister and i ended up in new paltz for lunch. this was a complete accident that ended up having a ripple-effect of rewards. after having matching meals (onion-mushroom-bacon cheeseburgers with sides of green beans and chocolate milkshakes), i decided to try my hand at Hot Stuff (the claw) for my nephew, hayden. first try! reindeer down the shoot!
nothing is set in stone, but i think i definitely helped my case for “coolest uncle” (at least for 2009).
