Alton Brown's Feasting on Asphalt premiered it's second season over the weekend, and so we watched the premiere on the TiVo this evening. They were in Louisianna, eating all kinds of Southern specialties from crayfish to gumbo and head cheese to bread pudding. According to to one crew member who claimed to not enjoy bread pudding - my feelings as well - the stuff they had was so good, "it didn't even taste like bread pudding!" I'm not really sure if that's a good thing or not, but on a much more entertaining level, Alton was taught to "suck heads" by some crazy old man who was wandering through the camera shot while he and a guest were enjoying their crayfish.
Earlier I drove up to see my grandparetns, and we went to lunch at a Chinese buffet restaurant in Monroe. It was decent food as far as Chinese buffets are concerned, and my grandpa loves Chinese food. It was good to see them, and we had a nice time together. I helped my grandpa with some computer related things, and they let me borrow their copy of Babel which I've been wanting to see. Hopefully I'll be seeing them again next weekend as it is my grandpa's birthday. I hope they're going to come out to Cleveland.
After I left there, and headed back to L&D's place, I talked with my mom and decided to meet her in Sandusky. The girls wanted me to stay a couple extra days since Lindsay is on vacation from work - she's a manager at UPS here in Toledo - and she adores me! So since I had my mom's car, and she and Jimmy were in Sandusky - Jimmy has a boat and they go out on it when we have nice weather over the weekend - Lindsay just followed me out there and then whisked me back to Toledo after dropping the car off. We got some tasty Starbucks on the way back - one of our favorite things to do together.
So now I'm being "held hostage" here, as I jokingly put it to them. I think if L could she'd pretty much keep me around as a cute little pet all the time. Can't say I'd complain though either! ha ha
I made dinner for the three of us - lemon butter rosemary garlic chicken, again, thanks be to Hannah for her mad cooking skills - and we watched Feasting on Asphalt and Superstar on the TiVo. They have a digital wonderland as far as entertainment is concerned, so there's always something to watch or do here.
Again, I'm delighted to be home and have my friends and family back around me. It's good to be here.
