Spicy Sauce
Jun. 13th, 2017 03:53 pmI am not exactly looking forward to Thursday's consultation. Not because of any actual medical reason, or that I'm scared about potentially having cancer.
I just don't want to drive across the Fuller Warren Bridge. And back.
Given that I'll be out anyway, I intend to go through Flemming Island on my way home. We're getting a Fresh Market and I think it's opening that day. This is a lot closer than the WholePaycheck Foods and somewhat less annoying. I have to go out anyway so I might as well do something fun. I picked up a CD-Rom of my diagnostic stuff, and filled out all the advance paperwork and so forth. Look at me, all prepared and shit. Like a real adult and everything. I even answered the questions "straight," even though I enjoyed making fun of some of them. How much caffeine do I consume? Like in cups, or pounds? (Given I'll probably be sitting there with a big-ass cup of Starbucks...)
The ant problem has gotten exponentially worse. They managed to find a food source, and it's just a nightmare. Among other things we're considering pulling out the old grout in the backsplash and redoing it - since the old grout won't come clean anymore and they're finding bits of food there. I don't know what they were after in the pantry but I threw out several bags of dehydrated food and dried beans. I put down a couple more bait stations and have cleaned again. Oh, and bees swarmed both hummingbird feeders last night, so I stayed up until full dark when they went home so I could completely clean and refill those. The bees are back today, but there's nothing they can get to. I think they were mainly after the drips and splashes the birds leave when they pull their beaks out of the feeding ports. BUGS MAN, BUGS EVERYWHERE MAN. (please read that in an 'old hippie dude' voice)
Anyway, today was my standard errand day. I actually went to Jax Oriental Market and found a nearly five-pound beef knuckle for my beef broth. I also picked up a couple of packages of this great spicy instant noodle dish - the sauce is seriously one of the hotter things I've ever eaten. And I grabbed a few of the ingredients I was lacking to make this stuff. I have no idea how to say it, but I really want to eat it. And I replaced the adzuki beans I had to toss. I'll be making bean cakes later this week - I make mine on the spicy side and they do pretty well as veggie burgers. I'll post the recipe if anyone is interested.
