Norman wanted to have a party. In light that it was over President's Day weekend, I suggested that Vice President's deserved a party since they didn't get a weekend and thus the plan was hatched. WE notified Tom promptly and the party date was picked--last Saturday.
The last party we had was our Housewarming in September. We'd adopted a JailHouse theme for that one. This party involved few small, color printed flags strategically taped up around the apartment; dressing Luckey in a blue sweater to match his red collar and general white-puppy cuteness, and putting up 10 Veeps on a wall with a page under each for guesses. Who's even HEARD OF Hannibal Hamlin or Schuyler Colfax? The prize for the best guesser or knower of VPs of the United States thus far was a bottle of red wine. My friend Markiv came closest with a solid 50%. Dan Quayle, Teddy Roosevelt, Spiro Agnew, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams were the easier bets. Nelson Rockefeller, Millard Fillmore and George Dallas rounded out some of the tougher guesses.
Tommy cooked up some delicious Quayle Sandwiches (cornish game hen) with a delectable ginger-mayo-dijon sauce, Burr It's Cold Ice Cream Sandwiches (he MADE the sugar cookies himself from scratch), Broccoli Spears-Spiro-Agnew. I handled the drinks with a bevy of Veep inspired concoctions: The Fillmore (Jello and Vodka), Triple Johnson (Triple Sec, Vodka, and Malibu Rum), Mad Adlai (OJ, Tequila, and Rum), and Crazy Calhoun (Bailey's, Kahlua, and Vodka). The Crazy Calhoun was the biggest hit as were the Burr It's Cold!
The party was a success. Not a roaring success, but a success nonetheless.
