It was my mom's mom who died. My mom is often a control queen and I think in this case she's busying herself with a lot of little things like this because it keeps her mind off the things she'd rather not think about - the things she can't control.
I'm sure the separates will be okay. I just wanted to start sewing something for backup just in case. Things have been tense around here and I didn't want my parents to feel I was being insensitive and balky.
You know what's the opposite of gross? Rick Bayless' cooking. Om nom nom. It's a good day to work in my office.
I've been wanting to go to Xoco, since I can't afford Topolobampo or Frontera Grill, but haven't gotten down there yet. I want to try some soup, so maybe I'll wait until fall.
Ooh, lucky. What did you get??
I went to Xoco when I was in Chicago for work last year. The pork belly vermicelli was AMAZING, and I got one of the sandwiches to go for my breakfast the next day and it was equally as yummy!
I'm taking tomorrow off of work so I can go to a doctor's appointment in the morning and finish off my project before class in the evening. Since I should be done in Skokie by noon, I think I'll be stopping by Cafe Laguardia West in Oak Park for lunch. I've been wanting to try a jibarito, and they have them there.
Some amazing guacamole, ceviche, and shrimp cocktail. I don't even want to call it shrimp cocktail because it resembles no shrimp cocktail I've ever had.
How come when I'm on a hotel's web site, and I try book a room for three nights the rate is $X per night, but when I add a fourth night, the rate for all four nights goes up to $X + $40?
Is the fourth night a weekend?
