'Time Bomb'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Someone needs to give me a primer on not-too-spicy Thai food I could try. We have at least four Thai places in town.
Just bear in mind that the cool-and-refreshing-sounding green papaya salad is flavored with blazing hot peppers. And if you see anything labeled "hot" or "spicy" on a Thai restaurant menu, for God's sake take their word for it!
I wanna go somewhere!
Except, of course, how I can't. I would like to be able to, though. That would be nice.
My sister is going to be away for Christmas, which would normally mean I don't go home, but maybe I will anyway. But then I have no one to go to the beach with...would my parents take pity on me and come with, and would I then have to kill them? It's very hard to predict.
Green curry can be pretty spicy. But I highly recommend pad thai, massaman curry, and yellow curry (just make sure to specify mild, and not every place has it, but it's my FAVE).
DH's dad wants a new car, a used Mustang convertible, but they only have $1,000 saved up and have decided their kids should buy the car for him. They already have two cars, but the junker he drives makes him feel "depressed," apparently.
Um, WTF?? Seriously?
This day is interminable.
I KNOW. HOW CAN I STILL HAVE TWO MORE WORKSHOPS TO TEACH? WHY GOD WHY?
I always forget how much I like yellow curry. The descriptions in the menus never convey the full measure of yum.
Panang curry is of the yum, but I recall it having a bit of heat to it on occasions when I've eaten it.
Oh! Tom Yum soup is really good to get at most Thai places.
I'm staying at the Wawona. I think layers will be the best course of action.
The mustard on my jerk chicken sandwich was distracting and redundant. This is no longer my favorite sandwich place.
Yellow duck curry might be my favourite Thai curry. Damn. I want that now.
Most Thai places can make most dishes mild if you ask. (There are a few where the heat is so inherent, mild=ruination.) Obviously, willingness to accommodate wimpiness may vary.
Snarl. Hiss. Grrrrr. Carpet cleaners were supposed to do their thing this morning. Panera institutes a 30 minute max free wifi from 11:30 - 1:30, so when I got bumped, I figured I'd head home. To find nothing had been done.
I went directly to property management and found out that the appointment never got scheduled. I had even asked if I would need to confirm the appointment when I talked with them last week and was told no, it would happen. Luckily the cleaning company is on site and will do my place when they finish where they are now.
So now I'm in Starbucks. Thank gosh for free wifi. Still, feeling very grrrr-arrrg and the glow of FREE CARPET CLEANING is wearing off.
