Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[rock hound]

Carlas bike chain fell off while she was riding it up a hill.  Took it the bike shop today and the guy there did a quick assessment and fix for no charge.  We're regular customers.  And I found a quarter in the parking lot.     Oh and I bought some books!

My daughter took things from the pantry, fridge and freezer and made a super quick mock up chicken Parmesan meal for us all.
It was delicious. I am proud of her. Not very many years ago she would not even try "new" foods.
Now she "invents" them!

This was last night, but when I got home from work, Kayleigh surprised me with Chinese food. Here, it's expensive and very good. We have lots of leftovers so guess what I'll be having for dinner?

I used to not be a fan of Asian food, but there's a New York style Chinese restaurant near us that has the most awesome everything. We rarely ever have take out, but if we do Chinese food is my first choice.

What makes it New York style?

Special fried rice and sweet and sour pork are two of my favourites. I also like their mixed vegetables and lemon chicken.

I think it's referred to as New York style because that's where the style originated. It's basically Americanized food, and the menu most commonly found in any Chinese takout in the US. I think I used to not be a fan because I'm actually not a fan. Growing up I only had a small few experiences with Chinese food, and they were either in authentic restaurants, or more traditional style dishes my mom cooked at home. As a young adult there was an authentic Thai restaurant in our town, but I never had Americanized Chinese takeout until well into adulthood.

It's Friday.

Something not so good turned out good. A bowl slipped from my hands this morning when I was cleaning up after breakfast, and it banged hard on the side edge of the stovetop. When I picked it up I saw tiny white flecks on the countertop, so I assumed I had chipped the bowl. I couldn't find any chips on the bowl, then I noticed it had chipped the enamel on the stove and made an ugly black mark. I whipped out my new handy-dandy paint pen and touched it up. It's not a perfect match, but I always say a mismatched white spot is less noticeable than an dark spot and that was definitely true about the stovetop. That made me think of the small scratches on my dryer, so I touched those up too and that was a much better color match. A couple spots look like they need a second coat from close up but just standing there looking at it, it looks brand new.

Had a fairly frank discussion with the manager and convinced him to hire the person we interviewed on Friday last week. She's going to be a brilliant addition to the team.

My car repair is done and done ahead of time.  Another stress point off my mind.

Both good and funny. Sugarbutt has been sick and was feeling chilled today, so he asked if Wal-Mart had any flannel shirts. I asked why he needs a flannel shirt? He said he only has one but it's old and has a hole. So I pulled out the package I just received in the mail two days ago, handed it to him, and said Merry Christmas. He was delighted and he's all snuggled up on the sofa in his new flannel shirt. Now I need to figure out something else I know he wants, to get him for Christmas.
