Friday, and bring on the weekend!

It was snowing lightly on Friday morning. I think I used my wipers twice on the way to work.

It was snowing a lot more seriously at lunch time. But, they were big puffy flakes and the accumulation just wasn’t there.

I had decided days ago that today (payday) I would eat lunch out. It would be a real treat for me since, after doing that for like 18 years, I haven’t done that in quite a while.

So, I went across the street to Chin’s (a so-so Chinese restaurant) and ordered a luncheon special: Chicken subgum with fried rice, an egg roll with wonton soup and hot tea. The wonton soup was excellent. When my lunch came, I cut the egg roll in half and put Chinese mustard on one half and plum sauce on the other.

The Chinese mustard really (really) cleared out my nasal passages and allowed me to really taste the rest. I added a lot of soy sauce (since my Korean business trips back in the ‘90s, I really enjoy the taste of soy sauce) and ate the rest of my lunch. Like I said, it’s not GREAT food, but it was good and filling and it only cost me $6.10 US, not counting the tip.

The only disappointment was the fortune cookie. It said: “Smile often and see what happens.” Now, that’s not a prediction, just a suggestion. I was hoping for something like “You will marry a rich, but sickly widow with no dependents.” I could get behind that!

I spent a lot of time after lunch walking and climbing stairs (and my thighs and knees will attest to that). But, finally, I was homeward bound (listening to “Bang the Drum.)

After treating the cats, I retired to my bed and watched the evening news until 7:00 PM. My friend B___ called and we caught each other up on what’s been going on.

After we hung up, I started making dinner (my Mom’s tuna and peas). Unlike my brother Carl, I prefer them over wide egg noodles, rather than toast. So, I went out to the pantry shelves and found I only had the Polish kulski noodles (I use them in soups I plan to freeze as they are thicker). I told you before I really need to do a massive grocery shopping to restock my pantry!

So, I made them and added the tuna and peas. Not so good. I ate because I was hungry, but it was a bit gross, texture-wise.

I watched a movie until it ended at 10:00 PM and then went to bed.
