Today was pretty full on. I had an appointment with the optometrist to get some glasses to wear over my contacts for close work. I am sick of having to use a magnifying glass to thread a needle! Then I went to one of my textile groups, but left early because I was both tired and COLD (the meeting is held in a hall which only has a couple of oil column heaters to warm a large area).
I came home and had a rest (not a nap, just reading blogs and emails). An unusual thing occurred - I began to feel hungry. It is so long since this has happened that it is a cause for celebration, so we decided to go out to eat. I felt like eating Chinese and we had a flyer for a local restaurant that was under new management, so we decided to try it out.
What a disappointment. The fried rice was good, but the seafood with mixed vegetables was inedible - both the squid and the fish tasted off, not just to me, but also to Kevin. We quite liked the sweet and sour pork, but by then my appetite had gone. We asked for the rice and pork to be packed in "doggie bags" to take away. The waitress questioned why we didn't want the seafood and we explained we thought it was off. When she came back with our requested leftovers she also brought a container of the seafood which she said was "fresh, just cooked". We took it home with us, but neither Kevin nor I have been brave enough to taste it. We will try it tomorrow. Let's hope we don't have upset tummies.

How disappointing! Going out to eat is a treat, especially in this economy. Then to have bad food.... One thing that struck me about this post is that although you have a cancer diagnosis, you are keeping life as normal as possible. That is a good thing! Keep enjoying life to its fullest.
ReplyDeleteNice that you felt well enough to go out to eat, sorry you found the seafood off, although I did think it was nice of them to prepare you a fresh dish to take home to try....I hope it taste much better.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my heart and prayers....:-) Hugs
