happy birthday, Fitz!
Today is my friend, Larry Fitzgerald’s, 27th birthday. Larry and I began cooking together when he was only 22 and I was exactly twice his age (ouch!). He was a star wide receiver even then, beginning only his second season, but now – well, now he’s a superstar. Deservedly so! He’s beyond talented. Larry has an incredible work ethic and is as humble as can be, one of the nicest and most genuine people on the planet. It would be hard for the average person to imagine being as humble as he is after you watch this amazing video from ESPN Sport Science.
Dave, Marissa, and I attended the Second Annual Larry Fitzgerald & Friends Celebrity Servers Night to benefit The Carol Fitzgerald Memorial Foundation and The Larry Fitzgerald First Down Fund, last night at Morton’s. My favorite thing about the photo of us above is how I’m looking at my camera that Marissa is holding, and Larry is looking at the camera that his professional photog is holding. So neither picture turned out well, so typical!
I snapped about a dozen pictures of Marissa with the various Cardinals servers/stars (including Steve Breaston, Darnell Dockett, Derek Anderson, Matt Leinart, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (DRC), Beanie Wells, Early Ducet, Levi Johnson, Anthony Becht, Coach Whiz and more; but the picture shown is our favorite. She is between rookie first-round draft pick, Dan Williams (#92) and Calais Campbell (#93) – who is one of the sweetest guys you could meet. I’m talking “puppy-dog” sweet! It was a great night, for a great cause, for the greatest guy around! Happy Birthday Larry! Love you. xoxo

Yay! So much fun. I’m sad we don’t get to go to Dancing with the Stars though.
I know, if I were only drunker or richer, I would have bit higher and we’d be flying private to LA to see Kurt win the mirror ball trophy! Next time!
And if Marissa hadn’t been wearing high heels, she wouldn’t have even come to the top of his apron.
Linda, you always have such sweet things to say about people – I love you so very much – and Marissa your a superstar!! Bang Bang!! Your mom can explain that.=)
Where’s the recipe?
Hey Sloane, give a girl a break… hard to post a recipe when one is not cooking, but rather eating out. 🙂 Love you anyhow, sister sweetness!
Oh Jenny, I do love you!
Can’t believe no one has commented on the awesomeness that is that link to ESPN Sport Science… have you people watched that stuff yet?
Dave told me about last nights event and how well it went. Congrats to Larry on his successful event and on his 27th birthday. Marissa and Linda, I wish you guys would adopt me so I can get pictures taken of ME with the guys too!!! LOL
OK — 10 for 10 upside down! Yes, I did watch the video! Amazing. Glad you had such a great time. You’re off the hook for the recipe. We’ll just have to eat out tonight!
Thanks Debbie, nice to hear from you… and Ronnie, so happy to know someone watched the amazing video! xoxo
