You might want to stay in Georgia

Might want to if every day was like yesterday. Found enough gold flakes to take the wife out for fast food, then came on these. 2 Rubies, a Smokey Quartz, Aquamarine and a cup full of assorted smaller gems. Fun day. Wife sees some new jewelry when we get back. Maybe something to go with the full carat diamond she found last year.

5 teens who recorded, mocked drowning man will not be charged in his death

I'm done reading news today. It's too depressing.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Yeah, that was awful.

Sad about Linkin Park's singer, especially on the birthday of his best friend who'd been with Soundgarden and ended his life too... wow, just hard to understand but I guess for some people it all becomes overwhelming.

On a lighter note, I was thinking earlier about a nice steak and baked potato, but didn't feel like cooking. Going with spring rolls and shrimp and rice since that involves mostly doing nothing while the rice absorbs the water... At least I'm feeling like real food instead of chicken soup.

Ah, oriental food. That is on the menu tonight. Pork Egg rolls, sweet & sour chicken with sticky rice. Even with the wife out of town I do not cook on Friday night so I will be frequenting our favorite Chinese place. Fabulous food and a decor that Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack would love. It is soooooooo wood panel 60's with red checkered table cloths.

Guess even the best have a bad day. Ate at a moderately expensive old well known restaurant. Food was great till. I crunched down on a piece of glass. They replaced the meal, apologized profusely and bought us a round of drinks. No harm done so far.

I took the day off an installed a new counter top, sink, island counter, and back splash. Looks good and wife is happy, hoping to see how really happy she is. The hardest part was getting those sink screws in place. No leaks, looks good, cleaning up putty, silicone edges with shim. Flippin slate is some heavy you stuff, I had that budgeted to be installed professional, coach purse ruined my laziness.

Glad to hear that you didn't get hurt. Glass is not in any of the food groups that I am aware of.

This apparently is the night for mixed up meals out. Didn't get my sweet and sour chicken. The put me in a nice little quiet corner table. While I was sitting there the owner came up and sat down. I have known her for 40+ years. Her husband was a young college professor when I was in school and he and I happened to share a hospital room for 4 days having both had some surgery. We became good friends. He died young and his wife sold their restaurant near the college and kept the one on the other side of town. Since I hadn't ordered yet she didn't let me. Instead she said something to the waiter and we sat and talked. We ended up eating off menu family style. The only thing we had of our own was bowls of white rice. The rest was in bowls and plates we both ate from. I couldn't pronounce the names of what we ate, much less spell the names of them, but it was great food. It was really nice to get a chance to catch up since she has retired from running the place.

Sorry, I can't help myself, I just have to ask. Is it a Coach sink?

I had some of the best Mexican food ever in a similar situation. We went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant with a person who was contracting to us. We had probably eaten lunch there together probably 2 times a week for several weeks. Well the contractor was from FL and bilingual. And always talked Spanish to the restaurant owner. So one day we went in and the owner seated us and asked for our drinks. And started a conversation with the other guy. As I was looking at the menu the other guy goes hey Ben. You want to try something really good. I said sure I'm game. I have no idea what it was, but they brought out this mini spread of food. Definitely was not on the menu. The spices and different flavors were incredible.

Every time I went back after we were done using the contractor. I was a little disappointed. Just lets you know how much they bland things down for the general public.

Whoa, I'd have been done. Glad it worked out but I would have left from just the thought of how that got in the food. Scary.

 

[smoke665]

Whoa, I'd have been don

But was really good!! LOL I didn't finish it, they brought me another plate. I figured they'd check it closer, and the additional liquid courage helped.
