The Making Of Another Delicious Noodle Bowl

I really want to open a noodle bowl restaurant someday. This time I got sweet potato starch clear noodles at the asian grocer on Sheridan. They are so interesting like the mung bean noodles but a sweet potato taste. I mixed in a little sesame oil.

I then paired them with pink American shrimp from Florida and mushrooms lightly fried in peanut oil with garlic cloves, zucchini, sugar snap peas, chopped romain lettuce, a hard boiled egg, cherries, french fries and ruby red grapefruit.

Birthday Dinner At My Mom's

We celebrated my birthday last night and today because on my actual birthday on Tues I am scheduled for a root canal ;( I totally regret the years of non stop candy now.

We had a 5 meat meal. Meatballs, pork, sausage, roasted chicken, octopus. It was delicious.

There were two cakes. A chocolate one with a giant fortune cookie topper and a lemon cake.

I got a nice plum colored blazer and black corduroy pants from my parents, the rest of the Simply Design scalloped green bowl collection with serving spoon and fork from (e:mike), a herring bone dressy outdoor coat from (e:terry). I also got myself an adruino and raided my parents old phine collection to grab some sensors and outputs. Its amazing how many electronic components you can get out of old electronics. I wish I hadn't recycled all mine now.

Last night we headed to chocolate bar from some creme brule and hot chocolate. This is why my teeth are dying.

The Best Dinner Ever

I love restaurants but they really can't keep up with the ecclectic meals I create for myself. I really like to mix and match flavors.

Dinner the other was night was ugli fruit, cherries, swiss chard, sweet potato clear noodles, mini mushrooms, okra, mache salad, half a red pear, shrimp in the shell, and 3 uncured, organic mini salami slices and some cheese aged in a wine barrel. Then some oil oil and sesame oil over the top and sprinkled with rock salt. It was amazing. Someday I really want to open a restaurant for this kind if food. I bet someone would like it.

Madonna's on Allen - The best cheesesticks ever

They are open for lunch now and they seriously have the best fried smoked mozerella cheese sticks in the world. The perfect amount of crunchy outside and melty inside.

The rest of the burgers, sandwiches and lunch items are delivious too. I really enjoyed the eggplant parm.

The Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens

It was supposed to be 70 degrees outside today but it didn't seem it with the wind and no sun so I instead of hiking around, we visited the botanical gardens.

The combo of humidity and warmth is so great.

Mike's Hard Lemonade Tornado

After the really long and stressful unpaid, overtime friday I got a visit from the Mike's Hard Lemonade monster. I wasn't home - out with (e:mike) while when most of it happend but it pretty much wrecked a whole lot of stuff including destroying my outdoor electric socket and just about every flower power I have. Then it ripped the wind shield wipers off (e:puddlediving)'s car. Not just the easily removable wiper part either. It ripped them down to the motors which is likely hundreds of dollars in damage.

The police came but no one pressed charges because despite it being passed out on my porch in a puddle of damaged stuff, and threatening the entire night, it denied everything. I also felt bad enough for it so I didn't press charges and the monster got taken home by the police instead of off to jail. Even after that it continued to threaten me the next morning via text. I've decided its time for a restaining order come monday. I want the kind where it can never talk to me ever talk again.

Schuele Hardware and Another Electrical Drama

Bathroom light had been sparking for a bit as the switch was deteriorating. It finally gave out. Luckily this problem was one that i could fix on my own for the grand total of $4 and 20 minutes of effort including the trip to get the replacement part I needed at Schuele.

Its pretty awesome that there is a hardware store right on Summer between main and linwood now. somehow they manage to pack everything I ever need into that store. Its like having a home depot one block away minus the kitchen, remodeling, bathroom fixtures, doors, wood yard and drywall sections that I never really go in anyways.

I hate going to home depot when I need a small item because first of all its a 10-15 minute drive each way and second of all because I end up spending forever trying to find what I needed or get help. Then I end up purchasing all this crap I didn't really want or need because I was waiting around.
