About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

For my birthday, mom baked me a cake: strawberry, with vanilla icing. She left it on the counter, but unfortunately near the edge, just close enough so our dog, Cribbs, could get up on his hind legs, and lick at the icing on one side.
My parents did not notice this until they saw Cribbs running around the house with white icing all over his mouth. He was a happy dog.
And I got only half a cake for my birthday.
Many moons ago, I worked over a year for a Domino's franchise in Chicago. The putridity of being in their employ was underwhelmed only by the experience of actually touching and preparing the putrescence that they sold as 'food.'
Your dog has good taste, or at least functioning taste buds.
Am I the only one who generally finds that Stunt Pizzas are by and large disgusting?
You know "Italian Hero Pizza", "Hawaiian BBQ Pizza".
urgh.
Papa John's Hawaiian BBQ Chicken pizza is a sublime delicacy, that only refined and discriminating palates are ready for.
There's a Hawaiian BBQ pizza? With regular tomato sauce? Because, that's making me kind of sick just to think about it.
Ever have spinach pizzas with white sauce instead of red? That's not bad, but you have to get it in a real restaurant. A delivery place would screw it up bad.
Garlic pizza with white sauce.
Mmmmm....
I never thought I'd like Hawaiian pizza, but it's great. I think I did try it with BBQ and it was excellent.
Is there any better ingredient in the history of ingredients (with the exception of salt) than garlic? I don't think so.
No, there isn't. I could eat just about anything with garlic.
There are several all-garlic restaurants out there. I've even heard of one that serves Garlic Ice Cream which I am intending to make this summer.
