Howdy true be-loggers, welcome to Sunday Leftovers. This has been a long week with lots of exciting things happening - so let's open the fridge to see what the hell happened!

[Uncle Joey]
I became an uncle for the first time this week.
I didn't know if I should say anything on the blog because this isn't my story to tell... People have congratulated me, but I haven't done anything. NOTHING (I have been absolutely no help to them). All the credit goes to my sister and my brother-in-law.
My sister has handled this entire pregnancy with grace. She had difficulties before, during, DURING, and after this pregnancy. She didn't complain and she still hasn't after three days of labor. I am genuinely proud of my sister for her demeanor and focus for the last few years of heartache, work, and eventually reward.
To my nephew Luke (who may one day read this): I want you to understand and know (from an almost independent party) how much you were wanted. You are the fulfillment life-long goal. I have no doubt you will be loved every second of your life and I am looking forward to the impact you will make on your parent's life and also my own.
Welcome to the real world kid.
[Recipe of the Week: How To Make Potato Chips In The Microwave]
INGREDIENTS:
1 russet potato
Non stick spray
Salt and Pepper
TOOLS:
Mandolin Slicer
Parchment paper or glass plate
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the inside of your microwave.
2. Carefully slice 1/3 of a potato into paper thin slices using a mandolin. Don't cut any more because the slices will turn an odd color
3. Completely coat the parchment paper with non-stick spray and place the potato slices in a single layer.
4. Spray the potato slices with non stick spray and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Turn off the rotating option on your microwave and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Additional Comments:
Cooking times will vary based on the strength and power of your microwave. Some chips may turn very dark brown. Ideally you want them light and golden. Repeat the process until you’ve used your entire potato. Enjoy!

[Conclusion]
In light of my nephew being born, I am keeping the bitter out of this post. So I better end it before it sneaks in. I wrote a pretty good (if I do say so myself) review of Mike Gordon's performance at the TLA - it's a fun personal story (not a standard review). If you need to reach me, you can do so via email at: "blog at joeylombardi.com". As always, don't take shit from anybody.
Smell You Later,
~ Joey
