This week's notable quotes

Wednesday night with K on the Upper West Side, driving south along Broadway discussing where exactly Central Park starts.

Me: It starts at 59th St

K: Oh 59th is the one that does the ... (K goes a hand squiggle) ... right by the park?

Me: (dubious) Yeah, that's the one

K: (very unimpressed) Oh yeah, I don't like driving on that one

The previous (hilarious) 3 hours we had Popovers (fancy Yorkshire puddings), loudly discussed sex in CVS (drug store), spent 1 hour looking for a parking spot (unsuccessful). Not a single drop of alcohol for either of us!

During the CVS episode, K recounting early experiences

So I was laughing and making jokes as we were doing it ... He was not happy ... apparently 'we did not know each other well enough to joke during sex' Phuff! Whatever!

Sunday afternoon en route to Long Island vineyards

Me: (pointing to a nearby field) Look a flock of ducks

K: They are gees

Me: Aren't gees white?

K: No, these are Canadian gees

Me: You are making this up*

A little later, after having visited a few vinyards, discussing how we both have 'the best vegetarian chili' recipe

K: I am going to try and make it less spicy

Me: What spices do you use?

K: cayenne pepper, chili powder ...

Me: (confused) Oh, mine isn't spicy ... (realising dumb mistake) oh yeah, it's vegetarian nachos, not chili ...

K: (laughing) This is so going on your blog ....
