Easter dinner
Category: holiday

Easter dinner was amazing. I went home to my parents, where we had so many friends and relatives over.

There was a bunch of delicious Lebanese food like taboleh and spinach pies. We had cake to celebrate 314 years of birthday.

My mom got me an easter basket - Ill try and keep the candy addiction away.

The peeps are actually cake batter (blue), bubblegum (pink) and sour watermelon (green) flavored. Candy innovation.

LOL @ the guillotined lamb.

Yum. That plate of peeps. I wish I was so alergic to all your 4-legged visitors.

Premature liver spots
Category: health

What is this? I don't know. Liver spots? Huves? these spots were not here before. (e:tinypliny) where are you?

joe - 04/23/14 12:54
Nope, nothing! They're slowly fading, or at least it looks like it to me. So hopefully it was just some weird allergy - maybe from cleaning out the moldy garage?

tinypliny - 04/21/14 16:14
Any fever to go along with them? Nausea? Headache? Loss in hunger?

If the answer to all the above is no, most likely they are superficial allergic reactions to something new (or maybe be even a blast from a past re-exposure) in your environment. If the answer to even one of the above is true, then I need to know more. :-)

I first saw them about 5 days ago. The day I noticed them I felt a little itchy and hivey but it went away quickly and these spots were never itchy themselves. They're the same temperature.

They actually seem to be fading compared to this picture, so maybe it was flukey?

tinypliny - 04/20/14 16:13
When did you first see them? Are they itchy? When you place the back of your hand on them do they feel warmer or cooler or the same temp as the rest of skin around the place?

Lucy's Ethiopian
Category: food

After the hike, we went to Lucy's for Ethiopian. The food was too spicy for me, but I didn't cry like last night. The food wasn't as good at Garturs but the service was slightly better.

Afterwards we stopped at the coop for a peanut butter treat. (e:Paul) noticed a scallop that was orange? why?

sina - 04/25/14 15:27
wow interesting, i never had been tried scallops and i have no idea about its taste

joe - 04/23/14 12:56
(e:sina) They're scallops, one is just a weird color we hadn't seen before.

(e:uncutsaniflush) That makes sense. :::link:::

sina - 04/22/14 13:28
what are those at last pic? white and yellow

uncutsaniflush - 04/20/14 23:50
If memory serves, "orange" scallops are female Cooking should get rid of the color.

Hike at the Gorge
Category: hiking

We went up today to wandern up at the gorge. It was a perfect temperature, so good to be outside more now.

The water and rapids were crazy high today. Most of the low rocks were submurged. (e:terry) and I went spelunking in holes and almost a sewer overflow.

Alley Cat Bar
Category: going out

Yesterday, to celebrate tax day, (e:terry), (e:heidi), (e:dianne) and I went out to Alley Cat bar. This is the bar next to Allentown pizza that's been coming soon for nearly(over?) two years now.

Unfortunately I forgot my phone, so I had no pictures. It was done really well inside. The music was kind of dad rock type of stuff but that may have been the bartender's choice. They're food mostly comes from Allentown pizza if you're into that.

The bar was dead besides the bartender and his daughter( it was a Tuesday night). He was super talkative and friendly - he kept feeding us pretzels and popcorn.

But at the end of the night he barely charged us anything for the 7 total beers. I think he officially charged us $16 for something that should have been at least $28. We left more than the difference in cash but it still seems crazy to make a mistake that big.

No pictures? *tsk tsk* excuses excuses.
