well, the entire weekend was a bust. i had plans on thursday and friday that i had to bail on. but at the last minute on friday, my youngest sister-in-law, clarisse, joined me and chris for some of my world-class cooking. i'm not very good at timing dishes so everything is cooked and ready to eat simultaneously. the rice and lap-cheung (chinese sausage) and beans w/miso sauce were waiting for 45 minutes while i stirfried the dao-miu (snow peatip) w/garlic, and fried up the gyoza. we also had soup w/baby bok choy. for this meal, i opened one of our few remaining unused wedding gifts......the hamilton beach skillet/griddle. it's the only non-stick cooking item i have in the house, so it was perfect for the gyoza. i'm not sure why i didn't use it before!
i spent saturday morning passed out in bed.....i didn't even wake-up until noon :-) we went to milestone's for dinner, and i was very excited about my curly fries w/watercress dip. to accompany the fries i ordered a beef burger (my craving from thurday's post!) with the "california" topping - avocado and bacon - yum! except shortly before our food arrived, my appetite was ruined. well, i can't blame it entirely on this incident, i was still feeling a bit nauseous from being sick. anyways, what turned me off? this man walked into the restaurant.....he was probably about 6' tall, quite heavyset, wearing his cheap plastic sunglasses (he actually put them back over his eyes as he walked through the restaurant - so not cool).....ugh, he was wearing track pants (fine) and a white wifebeater that was probably 3 sizes too small for him that exposed all of his chest hair.....yuck! he was showing a lot of unnecessary cleavage. he sauntered through the restaurant like he was the pimp daddy of all time. ew, ew, ew it was so gross! i have to say that he did attract many pairs of eyes, as mine were totally glued to this horrid sight. if this man had worn a proper t-shirt, i probably wouldn't have noticed him, but it was the chest hair - SO GROSS! to the men out there who have chest hair......i have nothing against it, and quite possibly on the right person, i might find it attractive (?), but when dining at a restaurant, please KEEP YOUR HAIR UNDER CONTROL!
yeah, so that was saturday night. pretty exciting life i lead :P

ah, yes... the art of timing. it's a wonder how those mom's manage to whip up a 6+ course meal, and every dish is piping hot! i've got a lot to learn...
and good to hear you're feeling better, form the sounds of it. We were at Mileston's on Fri night! Portabello chicken w/ salad was my dinner of choice.
