So today Dad came home and tells us that Sur la Table called him and they have a COMPLIMENTARY PERSONALLY SIGNED book from Giada waiting for him.
This was very cool of them to step up and take care of Dad after the cluster “F” they had in regards to the ticket and the lack of shared information when he called. Dad says he will go to pick it up on Saturday.
So Dad didn’t get to meet Giada today and sign her new book for him….
…….since no one told him that he had to pre-buy a ticket.
(Oh and he called the Kierlan Commons Sur La Table location on Wed to clarify their signing process….)
for the signing today…
Dad told me that Mom & Dad were like # 75 in line when they arrived with their chairs @ 9am …
At 10am Mom held their spot in line and Dad went to get his book and when he asked about the ticket he heard mentioned in the crowd and the Sur la Table bitch behind the counter told him he HAD to have a ticket and they were … guess what…??
S O L D O U T ….
that’s right folks… Dad then told me that the ol’ shit hit the fan at Sur la Table to say the least as he chewed them out for not telling him when he called SPECIFICALLY to find out their process……

Then later Dad got an upset stomach (not related), then got “bit” by Rosendo’s new bird, and to top it off..
the damn Red Sox won’t go away… What a Saturday…
