Pop invited the boys for his annual home opener barbecue, where they enjoy watching their beloved baseball Cardinals, the NCAA basketball final game, and then finish with some (nonsensical) Wrestlemania. It is amusing to see the side dishes the fellows bring to accompany Pop's bacon-wrapped filet mignons - they are quite proud of their kitchen creations, ranging from green bean casserole to Rotelle dip to deviled eggs. My contribution was this chocolate-nut pan cookie decorated with Cardinal accents and red jelly beans affixed with white icing.
The boys (a term used loosely because even though the youngest guest is seventeen-year-old Vince, most of the others are now silver-haired grandpas) have a blast - betting, cheering, arguing, ribbing, and giggling - and thoroughly relishing their mostly-male created buffet.
