Saturday Was Fun

I really enjoyed yesterday.

I'll give you a moment to put your jaw back where it belongs.

In fact, most of the week gets a B-.

But yesterday was great because it involved hitting some high notes.

I met the Queen Bee for breakfast. She was all aglow because she and the Prince Consort adopted a shelter kitty. We talked cats for almost the entire conversation, then I took her on a tour of a local Petco. Kitty turned her nose up to the offerings chez Bee so I advised a small can of the cheapest, stinkiest cat food available. I also gave advice on toys because so many of these toy makers get them all wrong.

Next, to work for a couple of hours to enjoy the quiet and actually get some work done. That was nice. It was also productive.

After that, I was scheduled to meet up with my pal MM. I knew I was getting there early, but I had a sleazy romance to read on my Kindle, so I went to the restaurant. As soon as I pulled out my phone, it rang and it was MM. "I thought I saw your car buzz by. Want to go in now?"

Of course I did. This was a Persian restaurant, the first one I'd ever been to. Along with being beautiful, it was also fragrant. As Colonel Brandon says, at least in the movie version of "Sense and Sensibility", the air was full of spices.

It was delicious. The same spices as Indian food, although applied with a much lighter hand. The chicken had been marinated for hours, the basmati rice had a hint of orange in it. Fabulous.

MM went to a natural foods store and I went along to gasp at the prices.

When I got home and settled into my pajamas, Emma called and wanted to talk about books.

At the appropriate hour, Boris yelled to go to bed.

All in all, a very fun day. Throw in work and it was a very satisfying day.

How about them apples?
