Brrr, fucking brr!
Yesterday’s dentist visit has spawned another trip to a root canal specialist next Tuesday afternoon (too late for lunch, unfortunately).
After treating myself to an Indian (vegetarian) buffet for lunch I worked from home.
Last night I made a play on a “Chicken and Dumplings†dish I am calling “Mushrooms and Dumplings†in which I substituted vegetarian components for their chicken counterparts. Had I not added too much garlic stock concentrate to make the stock the dish would have been great; instead it was a little too salty.
too much garlic? never. Too much salt – I can see that.
We went to play trivia at Treehorn Cider last night – it was Geeks Who Drink trivia, very different than the Outspoken or the other group we usually do.
They had 8 rounds – 8 questions each round, I never really figured out the scoring, but it was fun. They had a visual round – passed out a picture and name all 8 people in the picture named George. They had a word puzzle round, where we had 2 1/2 minutes to solve it & turn it in. We got 5th place out of about 10 teams -but who knows if we could have done better if we had understand the double point options, etc.
We got ramen & bibimbap to go at The Bowl which is basically next door & ate it during trivia – pretty good food. I have driven past the place many time, just never tried it.
I’d never be disappointed by too much garlic.
Interesting trivia concept. Did you visit that new brewery last week? If so, how was it?
Its all ciders – but its pretty good. I think they have 12 different flavors. Its not cheap, smaller pours than a brewery, but it was something to do.
They also have a 6 person team limit, so Aron (aka Yassir) and his 2 friends were on a separate team. (we have 5 people with us). His team got 2nd or 3rd – and they had a dance-off for that (I don’t know which girl won) I also don’t even know what the prizes were.
Word from the farm is the heat is out and our regular hvac has already left for Irrland. We were able to ask him for a recommendation.
Bummer. Hope you can get that rectified quickly.
just bought a plane ticket to Iowa for Superbowl weekend – Saturday to Tuesday.
price was really good – $234. Allan will most likely be working some OT, so figured why not.
Good plan. I’m sure prices into ATL are through the roof.
Repair called in. Should be there this afternoon.
Cyclingnews has a story from Phil Liggett about “The empty chair to my left”. I’ll read it later cause it’s gonna make me cry. Tour Down Under next week.
Yeah, not sure I can read that dry-eyed.
I committed to my annual Super Bowl weekend in Raleigh today.
And I have spoken with my brother and maybe making a trek to Florida to visit my mother for her birthday at the end of February.
our parents aren’t getting any younger – I gotta spend the money & just do it – I don’t want to have a bunch of regrets later.
Agreed
