Well it’s the weekend. Saturday. I slept in. Woke to find Bekah gone. She went to her sisters. Opened the fridge. The potato salad I was going to serve with brisket Monday had been demolished. Looks like eggs and hash browns had been made. Wasn’t sure what to make of the scene in the kitchen? Cleaning products everywhere. Furniture off the floor. Was it clean or abandoned in the process? It was nice outside. I grabbed the leftover eggs & a beer. Breakfast of champions on the patio. I stayed up past 3…
After my unexpected breakfast I drove out to my mothers. I had spare mask and she was in need. She got a little flack from my brother over a expedition she made to the local store without wearing one. We visited briefly and I made my departure. Bekah had placed carry out for me to grab of the way home.
A familiar face greeted me in the parking lot. I was set up. My wife wanted me iced. The treachery of it all. Fortunately for me, I was connected and off the hook. The incident wouldn’t be forgotten.
Back home with lunch and a little package of unexpected booze. Lunch was phenomenal. Spicy chicken lettuce wraps. I had been missing these. Extra spicy because they know me. I don’t know if it had been the time away from this meal or if the kitchen stepped up their game, but this was about as good as it gets. It felt good giving to a local establishment. The booze mix was sweet. I stuck with beer.
Guess what? We drank with the Slavak. This is getting out of hand. S***! I think we might be killing each other at this point. Even so, good company. At this point it would be weird if we didn’t see each other via FaceTime on a weekend. I’m having fun. What will I do when this ends? It sort of seems like I’ve become ever more social on weekends be it from home.
Hoisin wings w/!sriracha corn. So good. Not hungry. I ate. I ate. I’ll have to make this again. Pretty much fell right off the bone.
Sunday funday. Lazy day. Woke up exhausted. Cheap whisky. Not wasting the good stuff on FaceTime drinks. Maybe that’s a bad idea? Normally this is the day I go shopping for the week. No really happening anymore. Make a menu with what we have at home. I will say I stocked up nicely during the week.
Chicken & waffles for brunch. Never made this. Never eaten this. No precedent set. Bekah & I worked as a team in the kitchen. It was fun and experimental. Having both never tried this meal before, we went in with curiosity. It was delicious. Odd, but delicious. Splash some syrup, hot sauce & powder sugar on top. Talk about a cheap meal. I bet restaurants make a killing in this.
That meal really kicked my diabetic a**. I needed both insulin and some exercise to get it down to a safe level. After that was accomplished I sat on the couch and watched High Plains Drifter. A movie I’ve likely seen 100+ times. It’s like comfort food. One of my fathers favorite. I know it by heart. A classic in my book. I’m a sucker for Clint Eastwood movies, and this ranks towards the top of the list. I recognize that it isn’t his best by a long shot but I have great memories with is film. Nostalgia. It’s a powerful drug. “The Stranger” is the epitome of “anti-hero”. This movie probably hasn’t aged well with today’s political viewpoints. I’m sure it’s a little offensive to some. Defiantly would be passed on by today’s studio standards.
Dinner. What to make. Chicken curry? Sure. But I wanted to grill! So I worked out how to make it on the grill. My goodness. Might just make it this way from here on out.
Time to relax and get ready for the work week. What a joke. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Until next time. Stay safe. Cheers!!!!
