So, I woke up late on Friday and had to hustle into work. I
made it but just barely.
I went to Time Out for lunch and got one of the specials: a quarter-pound
cheese burger for $5.99 and, instead of the fries (which I don’t need), a bowl
of the “Mexican Beef Stew.” The beef stew was stuffed with jalapenos peppers
and some odd dumpling mix.
Sidebar: Mexicans make dumplings? I thought that was more
Germanic or Polish. Which brings up fish tacos. I like fish tacos. I love a
good fish taco! But, are they real? I mean, America seems to “twist” or “create”
our own versions of various culture’s food (think Taco Bell – which I also love,
BTW!) So, were there fish taco’s 100 years ago in Mexico or is this something
SoCal made up? Sign this part of the post: Epicurious. I suppose I could check
Snopes, but I no longer trust them, thanks to Jake.
Anyway, I ate about half of stew and the cheeseburger. It
was a beautiful summer day, so I took a relaxing drive though Hines Park. But
then I remembered my truck was dirty. So, I went and got it washed before
returning to work.
The afternoon passed slowly as they always do on a
Friday/payday. But I finally was headed home at 5:00 p.m.
I treated the cat and changed clothes. Since it was payday,
I paid some bills online and updated my check register and budget spreadsheets.
I watched the end of the Nightly News instead of cleaning out more gutters.
When I got hungry, I toasted some bread and made myself a
fried egg sandwich (with cheese, please).
My back was hurting, so I moved to the living room chair and
read until bedtime.
Please tell me you made the fried egg sandwich with butter...right? XO
