Well, Friday started out with what Jake calls a "nice rain," meaning a gentle rain on the warm side.
But, I had to go out to the new building to confer with my troops (I had some changes I needed them to make to ensure redundant connectivity between the OpteMAN in the demarc and the switch in the MDF). By the time I left around 10:00 AM, the winds had really picked up and the temps were falling. Not so nice, now.
At 4:30 PM, I called to Chin's and ordered take out. I am just about out of leftovers and had nothing thawed, so it's either cans or takeout. Chinese sounded good!
Now I haven't eaten lunch there in probably a good year or so. I was quite surprised at the brisk business they do at night. I got my bag and drove home.
I wasn't hungry yet, but I couldn't help myself, so I ate one of the two egg rolls I'd ordered. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted (much better than I remembered). I stuck everything else in the microwave to stay warm and went to change clothes.
I did a load of whites (downstairs bathroom towels and mat and my bathrobe). I had the news on while I puttered about. There was another hostage taking, shooting rampage and then suicide in New York. Man, this is getting weird! This used to happen maybe every year or two and now it seems like once a month. What the hell's the world coming to?
I noticed that the wind gusts had knock my patio furniture all around, so I took a photo for you.
Finally, it was dinner time. I warmed up the second egg roll and was very glad I ate that first one. Because, warmed back up, it was mushy. It still tasted good, but the texture was all wrong.
They must have gotten a new chef, because the won ton soup was completely different, filled with matchstick-sized veggies of all kinds. It tasted good, but on some dishes, I go for strictly traditional. I must have rutabagas and no carrots in a pastie and won ton soup should be the dumpling, clear broth and a sprinkling of scallions!!!
The pork fried rice more than made up for the soup, though. It was excellent. I ate about half of it (the rest will be Saturday's lunch). Then I wandered in to watch the Friday Night Fights.
I gotta tell ya, dude, this has been a very boring week of posts!
ReplyDeleteWell, like most people, I do have days that range from joy to sorrow, happiness to despair and the profound to the profane. But, again like most people, most days are NOT worth reading about. They are just ordinary and, okay, somewhat boring.
ReplyDeleteBut, I made a commitment to keep this Blog going, so I report on the "blah" stuff as well as the exciting (not that I can recall any "exciting" posts at the moment, lol).
