Nice way to end the week
So I cranked out my latest Game Room column today, with my boss' permission I spent most of the day finishing it up so I wouldn't miss deadline -- thank heaven for big favors every once in a while. I'd procrastinated too much because I'd been in LA all last week and Minneapolis for a few days the week before, and just hadn't had any time this month to put my thoughts to paper.
Anyway, it's all set and I think the August issue is going to turn out all right.
I turned it in around suppertime and didn't feel like cooking; I'd been so preoccupied with getting the column done I'd forgotten to defrost anything. So Bonnie and I drove for a spell up to Hyannis, where we checked out a discount furniture store she's been raving about then went for Thai food.
Emme and James didn't care for it too much, I don' t think, but Bob liked the sweetness of pad thai and ate a good portion. Bonnie and I also ordered a beef cashew and pineapple chicken dish, but the runaway hit of the night was a curry puff appetizer that all of us decided was fabulous. Then we all got dessert (everyone else opted for fried ice cream, while I had mango and sweet rice, which is rice prepared in a thick sheet, almost, infused with coconut milk -- it's to die for.
After that we went home and the kids went to bed. All in all a nice way to cap off the week.
