After my workout I went shopping, which was an exercise in pain all on its own. I picked up some Chili's frozen stir-fry because it was quick and we've never had it before.
I got the Cajun Style chicken alfredo. Big mistake. "Big Bold taste" is code for "I'm going to fucking set your mouth on fire and there's nothing you can do about it." I ended up spending another $20 and getting KFC because Kerri couldn't eat it. I'm trying, but that chicken is looking better and better...and not so "mouth hurty".

Yeah, my dad feels the same way about the shrimp stir-fry I made the other night. I added a teaspoon of chili paste to the sauce, and... yeah, it was a bit spicier than usual, but I wouldn't say it was painfully hot. Then again, I generally like spicy cuisine. I do have limits, though. A couple weeks ago our gaming group decided to get Thai takeout, and I decided to get the Pineapple-cashew sauce chicken. The restaurant has several grades of heat: none, mild, medium, hot, very hot, and Thai hot. I decided to get hot. It was delicious, but it was also my limit. Any hotter and that would have been decidedly unfun.After my workout I went shopping, which was an exercise in pain all on its own.

It was a couple weeks ago. My metabolism isn't fast, but it's not THAT sluggish...
Sounds like my Thai experience not too long ago. The kids were both in school. I really wanted some pad thai for lunch, so I went to the local Thai place. Since it was only me, I got it just the way I wanted: veggies & tofu. The guy asked if I wanted it mild, medium, or hot. I said medium. My lips were numb after lunch, but it was sooooo gooood!
Yeah, the chicken with pineapple cashew sauce I got was one of the ones with the chili pepper next to it on the menu. It's listed as "stir-fried and sauteed with onions, bell pepper, pineapple, cashew nut and Thai hot chili paste." So good. I think next time I'll get either the green curry or old city spicy grilled chicken.
I can handle the hottest option available at restaurants; it's the burning ring of napalm later that does me in later.
My mom made this korean bbq chicken last month. I was at work so had it after I got back in. The sauce was this other earthly brick red color and the chicken took on the same color. Now I thrive on hot food, but this was hot enough to cause physical distress and lets just say my toilet got more use in one night than it gets in a normal week.

Because if there wasn't enough shit in my life...My mom went to her doctor today due to some bleeding which almost always indicates something serious. We were hoping it was due to an infection, since that would have been the least threatening result.
It wasn't. She had a biopsy taken, and gets some blood work taken on Monday. I am just praying it's not fucking cancer, and that it's something that can be handled.

This is selfish and whiny which is why I'm posting it here, but fuck, I wished sometimes that I could find someone who would be, well, basically a housewife for me as shitty as that sounds. Not getting to spend any time with my significant other because her job takes her out to different oilfield patches around Alberta where she is a boss and my job takes me out to parts of Alberta where someone has done something egregious and we usually only get weekends lately to spend together, if that. She's super successful and I would NEVER suggest taking that away from her (hell, roles reversed I would gladly do it but that's not socially acceptable) just to be able to spend more time together.
Like I said, selfish and whiny, but right now I'm feeling selfish and whiny. I have a really shitty week ahead of me and all I want to do is lie in bed and watch Hannibal with her.

Yay! I found an online store that carries the Yoshinoya beef bowl topping I like. $3.99 each? Cool! That's ~$2 less that what my local shop charges! Gimme 10!
Did we mention the shipping for frozen items? That'll be an extra $98, bub. (Shipping for just one? $72.)
No, I didn't order.

I suspect it's supposed to be used by small businesses that make beef bowls. Mind linking?Yay! I found an online store that carries the Yoshinoya beef bowl topping I like. $3.99 each? Cool! That's ~$2 less that what my local shop charges! Gimme 10!

Clicky.
The shipping is for the dry ice and other keep your stuff frozen things they do to keep your stuff... frozen. But still.
Looking at it... no, it's just really expensive to ship it. Ordering it in bulk does nothing... shipping always goes up a ton.
Just buy it locally.

That's why I was looking online. The local Asian market hasn't had the Yoshinoya brand in several weeks. They carry the Ajinomoto brand, but it's not as good. So it goes.
I have the same problem getting out meatloaf mix. Adolph's was sold for years everywhere, but now we can only get it online. None of the local places have it anymore.

You know what bugs me? Programming sects. The ones who proselytize the One True Style. They even have saints and idols. The older, wiser coders all sit back and say things like, "What the hell are you talking about? If it makes sense to code something procedurally, just code it procedurally. Everything doesn't have to be OO." We hear, and we obey Oh Great Sutter and Holub.[DOUBLEPOST=1412605418,1412605107][/DOUBLEPOST]Here's a good example: http://www.javaworld.com/article/2072302/core-java/more-on-getters-and-setters.html
This article gets slapped up everywhere as an argument against using getters and setters. The solution? Use Builder pattern.... which is getters and setters in different clothing, essentially. Okay, so you wrapped them in a subclass, but it's more or less the same thing.

Got us smartphones with free Verizon upgrade. One of the downsides, every day now I hear "Hey, I found this new app, check it out!"
That's great, honey. Really great.

Sometimes you just don't want people to know what you're feeling, even when you feel like sharing, because you're afraid of stigmatizing yourself.

I've done that before, but it was a fresh and hot 20oz cup. I was wearing a white shirt too. It was almost an hours drive home and there were no clothing stores around, so I had to suck it up and deal with it all day long.
I spilled a bit of yogurt on my blue polo yesterday. I looked like Monica Lewensky the rest of the day.
