I was a lazy-ass today. Stayed in bed and finished a pic.
I was running a slight fever yesterday (99) and slept a lot again, but that did not stop me from going out later in the day. rat took me out to the 'surprise', which ended up being a half-hour drive to where my ob-gyn has moved, all the way to Frisco, about 35 miles north. Understand, the doc used to be located at the hospital a little more than a mile away, where all my other docs are. Since I need to go in soon for my yearly 'well-woman' exam, I guess I will drive to his new location, then look for another gyn over the next year. Of course, he moved his practice to a quickly-growing new community with lots of young couples flocking there, ready to shit kids in abundance. Frisco is a new and wealthy town. Our town, Richardson, (http://www.cityofrichardson.com) is a hundred and thirty years old, filled with an aging community and it is not really growing anymore. Not many old folks have babies.
Anyway, after that, rat cruised around the town a bit, showed me the new mall that has caused at least two malls to close in Dallas, and where Neiman Marcus moved. He finally found what he was looking for, a Krispy Kreem shop. We went in and got a dozen of our personal picks, got a bottle of milk to share, and ate some right there while watching the kids pressed against the glass, watching the donuts being fried and glazed. My mind went to seeing Shiyuu doing the same thing, nose pressed against the glass, excitedly watching the donuts do its little flip thing and getting drenched in glaze, then turning and grinning happily at us. I told rat about my thought and he laughed at the image.
Neither of us had eaten since breakfast so we stupidly scarfed down three donuts each immediately. I had a wonderful raspberry filled, sweet and tart at the same time, a glazed, and a cream filled - not Bavarian cream but that type of cream that's like a whipped cream and vanilla icing combo. Talk about sugar buzz! I was actually feeling a little dizzy and shaky at the end of the third donut - I guess it was sugar shock. It was time to eat real food, and we needed to do it quickly.
So we scoped out the long line of restaurants along the street and finally picked something we hadn't heard of before, a Chinese place called Big Bowl. (http://www.bigbowl.com) Very nice atmosphere and the food was very good. My beef with brocolli was made with high-quality and tender steak, not that tough stuff most places use. We will go back and will probably try the stir-fry bar next time.
Of course, my brain said this place is elegant enough for Eiri yet friendly enough for Shiyuuichi so it would be one of the places rat and I would take them, after feeding Shiyuu Krispy Kreem! LOL!
