Super duper day today! Lazed around this morning on my laptop watching crap tv. Then I took off over to Dorothy's. Her house is astoundingly beautiful! She redid the whole thing herself and it is beyond beautiful. I picked up some good tips.
We drove way out into the nethers and we stopped and saw her son Kal. They have the most wonderful place on a lake. We didn't stay too long. Headed off to her daughter Kim's place. What a neat person she is! Full of stories and anecdotes, two wonderful little kids and a husband and three dogs. Boxer and two pugs. The littlest one was hilarious! She made me a couple of delicious coffees and we had a piece of cream cheese iced carrot cake, still warm from the oven. Mmmmmm!!! I could have stayed there for hours visiting. She reminds me of me a lot in so many ways, thoroughly enjoyed the visit!
Later Dorothy and I went to Original Joe's for supper. I have read really good reviews about this place, like their menu and Dorothy has been several times and really enjoys the food.
That being said, we ordered lettuce wraps to share and we each ordered a bowl of miso noodle soup. The lettuce wrap filling was good but they served it with romaine. Romaine was not made for lettuce wraps. And the soup, for 12 bucks was pretty small. It certainly didn't look like the picture. There were hardly any noodles, a lot of brown broth and meat slices. We started to eat it and realized it was like licking a salt lick. And it had that burnt fishy taste that those fish flakes taste like. We actually couldn't eat it. So we sent it back and asked for the menu.
We then ordered a hot dog….two european wieners fried, mustard sauce, banana peppers, cheese, caramelized onions. It was delicious but the bun had been microwaved. Now if you have false teeth uppers like I do you will know how significant microwaved bread is. You can't bite through it. It flattens out and gets super chewy and leathery. I tried! But I ended up wrapping it up and bringing it home. I figured Monte would eat it…he eats everything. But when I was telling him and Emily what I had ordered the moment 'european wiener' was out of my mouth he goes "ewwwww!! I don't like european wieners." Like seriously? Since frigging when? The damn thing is still sitting in my purse.
So now here I is…in my chair, dogs surrounding me. I have to plan my tomorrow and get ready to execute. TTYL
