A weekend where I was too busy to post! WOO HOO!
I got called a few times to work on junk, but mostly that was in the middle of the night. I hate them so much. Someday they'll pay. Someday they'll all pay. :)
Saturday we picked up some gardening stuff and Sunday we used it. All Sunday.
As a horticulturist, I'm evidently a very poor Republican. We have these big giant bushes the builder put in. They are kind of shapeless green things that just seem to grow wild in front of the house. While they had to go (replaced with butterfly bushes), they hadn't really done anything to hurt anyone.
So, while they could have been smashed and hacked and burned pretty quickly, I chose to carefully remove them and transplant them to the backyard (over the course of several hours) where they can run wild and free with their woodland brothers and be as big and ugly and useless as they like.
No choice following a full day of yard work but to continue molding myself into a better person with a little more hardship, this time in the form of a buffet.
The "Lucky Star Asian buffet" to be precise. I'm all about any restaurant named after an early Madonna song. Of course, who isn't?
"No MSG" is selling point and I'm pretty sure they deliver on that. The real reason I sometimes insist on a place like this is because of my ongoing personal conflict with the adversary I refer to as "The General".
For years now I have attempted to defeat General Tso and his chicken, but it is no use. I train and I train and I train, but General Tso is always one step ahead of me, making me (as my wife says) Tso Tso Tso very sick. The part that irks me the most is probably his reliance on that same tired old flanking maneuver, or more accurately my own vulnerability to it.
As a bonus, the authentic "Jalepeno Chicken" really evoked a feeling of spending the evening in China. Or possibly a Mexican jail. Either way, it was a wild journey for the taste buds.

Now That was just a bold face lie and you know it!
