Been a minute

......Since I've last posted. Alas, this is ok when it's mostly your own self reading it. Anyway, we had a very subtly nice weekend if I do say so myself. On Friday we had ourselves some Korean BBQ. I love Korean food, it's very spicy and yet very healthy for you. But, there are a few downsides. Steph is a Spice-wuss, by her own admission. I have no problem with making sure that the food that comes to our table is as non offensive to her palette as possible. The real problem is when the food comes and it's still a wee bit on the spicy side. I just feel bad about it, and she really does try but I can see the look in her eyes when I know the back of her throat is burning. Anyway, this situation happened with the tofu soup. It's normally a very very delicious soup, but unfortunately it's very spicy. I tried ordering a mild version and it was still too much. The other downside of Korean food is that it's to your detriment to try and go out afterwards, because you will smell like charred meat and pickled cabbage. I also was able to schedule this on one of Steph's hair washing nites. SO everybody won on Friday. On Saturday, we went on a "date" I suppose you could say. We wanted to try something different, in terms of food and restaurant. We opted for Dosa in the Mission. I must say it hit the spot. It was just different enough from the typical Indian cuisine. We're trying to eat a little better these days because we both have a huge appreciation for foods that are horrible for you and at our advanced age, this is not so good. Anyway, we had a veggie Dosa, which had potatoes, spices and minced veggies, and it came with two chutneys and a lentil soup as a sauce. I loved it. Also, we had a beet soup. It was tasty and colorful, and normally I hate beets. Steph likes them so I always try to get something with beets if it's available for her. Next we had a sort of Channa masala? I can't remember the exact name off hand, but it was garbanzos in a sauce, and it came with a big piece of puffy fried bread. Delicious. Also, we had some fried chicken and raita, which was tasty but very spicy, i ate all of it!!! Then we saw the Ruins. I have to say Steph is great because she will totally indulge and enjoy with me bad horror and sci fi films. I've never had it so good. I usually have to go see these films on my own, but she's right there with me taking in all of the genre's bad glory. This film I have to say was a little bit "meh" because we felt that the evil that lurked in the ruins wasn't so evil, it wasn't bad, i just wanted to see a back story on this thing. There was so much potential that went undeveloped. So that and a few visits to the dog park and some naps on the couch and you have a pretty nice weekend.

also, just felt like posting this 'cause yeah I like this version of the song:

The Bulgogi Store and Faucet Follow Ups

We took a trip to the Korean store in Daly City on Friday. I just love the Korean store because there are all kinds of adventures that await you. We bought many an Asian baked good. Also Steph challenged me to buy this.



I had no idea what it was but according to the chili pepper on the package it was going to be spicy. I opened up and found this:



It was basically a piece of squid jerky. It wasn't very exciting and certainly not spicy but it was an ample dare. Next I found these:



YES!!!! Bacon chips! So you would think. I think these must be North Korean made because they taste nothing like bacon. Yucko.

My Faucet saga took a turn for the better. I finally got it installed. I had to freestyle a few things. I ended up on a whim buying some 89 cent plumber's tape and it turned out to be the master stroke because we have a working faucet. I was a phone call away from spending who knows how much to get this thing installed. Please partake of my handy work.




And finally Steph is still sick. Her cough is epic. I bought her some very gross tasting cough syrup. I decided she should try the old steam inhalation with the towel over your head trick. I added some of the cough syrup tp the water which made it pretty crazy on the sinuses. Anyway, I snuck the camera under the towel and this is what I saw:

Too many Muthaukas ukin' with mah shit!

............. Mah Plumbin' shit!

This post is both an homage to my current fav. show as well as my frustrations with this new kitchen faucet we bought. We bought a german made hasngrohe faucet because the price was nice and it wasn't made in a back alley sweatshop in Taiwan which would ensure it's breakage and overall "weak"ness within days after installation. Mind you I am winging it in the handyman dept. but I'm winging it well yo! I digress; I have this beauty installed and now I have been back to Lowes exactly two times and each time I have been given the wrong attachments for the hoses to hook up to the water valves. Sheesh! After a few calls I discovered that because this thin g is Euro, specifically German we have to go to a different store to get the fittings. The place turns out to be right up the street from the loft. Go figure. Anyway, the Germans didn't lose the war, by god they are still fighting it by providing superior quality products to world that are essentially lacking in seemingly innocuous yet impossible to track down part. Damn you Chancellor!!!!! Hansgrohe and Lowes you gonna wake up in a smoothie. Which brings me to the video. I tied it all together seamlessly. Feel my heat!

St. Patty-Mas-Ter

So Steph and Manda have a little tradition called St. Patty's-Mas. They cleverly decided that buying each other gifts for christmas added to the stress of said holiday. So they decided to wait and do it on a seemingly rando holiday, St. Pat's Day. Anyway, this year that was delayed a week and thus the Easter part was added. Anyway, we decided we wanted to have the most kitsch food possible. We made a glazed ham with pineapple rings, and we made green bean casserole, also potatoes au gratin were featured as well as deviled eggs. G-Po came bearing beans and Manda came with a bounty of easter baskets, for BiBi too. Speaking of BiBi, man did she make out like a bandit. Manda got her her favorite bull penis snacks (seriously) and she got three new babies, oh for the uninitiated in the deep dark cavern of our home lives, we refer to any of her little squeaky stuffed toys as "babies" and she has a lot of babies. Anyway I digress. All in all it was a fun day except Steph is still sick which is no fun for her. And everyone left with a bag of Ham. Life is good.

Pictured Above is my prize winning ham straight out of 1955.

Gack!

Steph has the plague. I may be next.

Also off topic the test continues:

Steph's Ruling Ideas

1. Bro-purri. Based on my insistance for DIY potpurri (I can't believe I said that). To explain, when I cook rich foods I don't want the whole house to reek of it. So, rather than buy some fucking chemical laden spray, I just put water, maybs some lemons, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, all spice etc. and boil that shit. It really makes the house smell better. Anyway, Bro-purri is for dudes, it helps bed the ladies. Filled with pheromones yo.

2. We so need to Swede Rushmore, once we get a video cam. this is so happening. I think we make natural Maxs and Margarets.

Epic.
