Had a routine eye test and there's been a slight change so I've ordered new glasses. The opticians had a special offer of two for the price of one, so I've ordered sunglasses as well - even if the chance of getting any sun here for more than a few minutes, is fairly remote.

The other day, I bought some pepper bacon thinking that it would go nicely with a cheddar cheese omelet on Tuesday morning for breakfast.  (Being retired means big breakfasts aren't just for weekends any more!)

Well, this morning I fired fried up some of the bacon, it smelled so good that I ate it as soon as I had drained it.  Thus the omelet was never made.

Story of my life, when it comes to bacon.

Whether or not I was cooking, or planning to cook, anything else.

OMG!  Social Security visits your home?   I can't wait to get older, it sounds like such fun!

I'm sure DR MBarnum is thinking, hoping the same thing. Sorta. ::)

Poor MBarnum.  He is still mourning the fact that Tony Martin was just two years shy of perfection.

BK, I must tell you with such a thrill, but I feel like such a mini-celebrity from my credit on the Follies CD booklet.  Oh, my!  My name's been on a couple of others, and every now and then someone notices, but it feels like everybody and his cousin is reading this booklet from cover to cover and digesting every single precious word.

The first time I listened to the NEW FOLLIES CD, I was quite frankly very disappointed.  To be honest, the whole album just seemed flat to me.  Of course, I was all the way to "I'm Still Here" before I realized that one of my speakers had shorted out.

My yahoo email is apparently off-line. I wonder if it's operated out of India. That's got to be scary with 600 people without power.

I can't believe I missed that!  It must be because I was listening while I was at work. ::)

Have any dear readers tried those microwave bacon cookers (not you, Jane) where you hang the bacon?

OMG!  Social Security visits your home?   I can't wait to get older, it sounds like such fun!

Where did I say social security? I see Medicare.

Good morning, all! This morning, I have a visit from an agent from Health Plan of New York to check out my Medicare concerns; i have none, so this will be a short meeting. Then, I guess I will head down to Toyland for another round of toting, carting, and unpacking. I also have to deal with a situation involving a friend I do not look forward to. On the plus side, I can stop by my accountant and learn how things worked out with social security.

I'm sure FJL envisioned the accountant coming over after the Medicare rep.

Yes, yes, that's it!  Thanks, Ron!   That must be what I was thinking!

Nice save. ;)

Very saddened by THIS, but not surprised at all.  I'm glad the website will still be available.

I'd read that also.  I'm glad the website is staying.

T.0.D.

I suppose it is not a good idea to order sushi in Tacoma.  I can't tell you the number of times I have sent it back for being undercooked.

I have only had Thai food a couple of times.  I have no idea what I had, but it was beef (I think).

Japanese:  The is a restaurant that I used to love to go to in Seattle, called Bush Gardens, where you got to sit in your own tatami room.  I loved the tempura, the sukiyaki beef, and whatever else came with the family style dinner.  And I love Benihana's in Seattle, and Sakura's in Tacoma.

Yes, my Thai food would most certainly have been something beef (or beef something) or something chicken (or chicken something).

And I forgot sukiyaki.  Very much enjoyed that a couple of times.

I had a decent practice session, and my audition session ended up consisting of playing for one - count 'em, one! - audition. Woot!

TOD:

Sashimi is perhaps my favorite food. There is something clean and refreshing about slabs of the freshest fish that please me to no end.

I'm also a freak for well-made Thai food, whether it's a soothing soup with coconut milk and galangal root in it or a fiery green curry with bits of pork or shrimp swimming in the sauce. I made friends with people who ran a Thai restaurant in Port Charlotte, the town in Florida where I used to live. The food was so good that I, at times, ate there up to five days a week.

My favorite dish that Nancy, the chef, made was dessert: Thai donuts. These were small pillows of fried rice flour served scorching hot out of the fryer. They came with a dipping sauce flavored with vanilla, a touch of lemon and crushed peanuts. Boy, were they ever good.

I've not tried any Thai desserts.

My favorite Thai dessert is a mound of sweet-sticky rice - usually cooked with coconut milk - topped with slices of fresh mango. Warm rice + cold mango = YUMMY!

There's also a variation where the rice is topped with slices of a sweet egg custard. That's yummy too.
