pshaw_ravenDid you ever eat something so lackluster that you wish you could get a calorie refund? We ate at a local Chinese and sushi place that's usually pretty good. Nothing spectacular - we're not talking about highly refined Asian cuisine and a Japanese sushi master - but tasty, plentiful food. Today it was just ... not up to snuff. Fox said the sushi rice was old, and I noticed the General Tzo's chicken was tough, like it had been reheated. The hot and sour soup had an off taste like they didn't have enough broth so they combined the tail-ends of several different kinds of soup stock. The hostess said something about she was sorry for today and next week it would be better, but the poor lady is always a bit soft-spoken and hard to hear. I know every Chinese buffet has off days but they're always disappointing when you hit one.
We dropped the tractor off to get a backhoe installed - it should be ready Monday or Tuesday. Of course I have to go back to the doctor again because doctor prefers to discuss results in person, go over your treatment plan, nonsensical medical speak yadda yadda, so I'm going to go find out what my treatment and possible surgical plan is for that cancer I don't have. I'm also going to do my weekly grocery shopping while I'm out because I'm getting tired of doing all this driving.
Today we discovered that Starbucks will actually make a green tea frapp that tastes like green tea. Just order it unsweetened. And according to a blog I read, if you ask for extra matcha it's even better, but at least unsweetened it doesn't taste like that sugar-bomb American crap people are always trying to pass off. The frapp base is already sweet on its own, so it doesn't need any more help. Oh and apparently if you get a berry cup swirl with it, that's a Dragon Frappucino, for those of you who weren't into the Unicorn.
Of course now I'm paranoid that the doctor saw something else on my imaging, but you'd think someone would have mentioned that by now. But logic and reason has never stopped my brain from finding a worst case scenario and running with it.
And here's my Zox Of The Day - click to enbiggen - they recently released Declaration and a similar Valley Forge one called Independence in a very limited run on Monday. (People were, of course, whining about how limited they are.) I managed to snag both and today wore Declaration with a Pura Vida set, the Serenity Place Cat Rescue charity stack. I only recently got into Pura Vida, and between them, Zox, and now Rastaclat is sending me emails, I'm running out of wrist space.

Maybe that's what happened with my green tea frapp. My husband picked up one for me on his way home a while ago, per my request. Him not even liking S'bux, when they asked him about sugar, he just shrugged & they told him they'd do what they normally do. It tasted horrible but I choked it down. I enjoy green tea so I thought this would be heaven lol.
