I was feeling lazy yesterday morning, and I blame that on Friday’s overexertion. I overcame the urge to say fuck it and skip my daily hike and instead confined myself to the neighborhood for a relatively leisurely 5K stroll.
I was feeling hungry when I arrived back home, and Swan happily prepared some lunch for me.
I had a dinner date scheduled with Tom and his gal Kate later in the afternoon. I had invited them up to enjoy The Rite Spot On the Roof after our meal. So, I did some final preparations in anticipation of their arrival last evening.
Tom is retired from the CIA and still does security consulting in the Philippines and other parts of Asia. We hold similar viewpoints on the disaster our elites are imposing on the USA, and he has lots of stories to tell about the things he’s seen and done (nothing classified, of course). And we’ll leave it at that to protect his privacy. When he arrived to pick us up for our dinner on SBMA, he informed me that he had been contacted by one of his clients and had scheduled a meeting with him after our dinner. So, the Rite Spot will have to wait for another day.
All that food plus three beers came to a whopping 2100 pesos (40 bucks). Only in the Philippines!
After dinner, Tom dropped Kate and us off at Wet Spot while he went on to take care of business. Looking forward to having them up on the roof one day soon.
We went home and watched “Shameless” until I fell asleep on the couch, went to bed, and woke up to another day in paradise. And the wheel in the sky keeps on turning.
My immediate future includes the Sunday feeding at Hideaway and a sunset on the Arizona floating bar. Back tomorrow with a full report.
Today’s song is something a bit different. A friend sent me this video of a singer who goes by Skuzz Twittly. I’d never heard of him before, but I found the song hilarious. Yeah, it’s “Cuntry” music, but it lasts less than three minutes and is worth the time. Give it a listen:
I managed to cover most of the subdivision on my walkabout.
Missed a spot! Haw haw.
Should have spun the plate around and gotten a better shot of the burger.
“Hawaiian” burger! Looks good.
I miss those shoestring mushrooms that were prevalent in Korea, but other than that, it was close to perfect.
Korean food also looks good. The mushrooms you’re talking about are probably paengi-beoseot/팽이 버섯, known in the States by the Japanese name enoki.
re: Scuzz Twittly
Maybe it’s country music; maybe it’s a parody of country (“cuntry”) music, but it’s funny, and I’ll be passing this along to my buddy Tom, who loves the raunchy stuff even more than I do.
For what it’s worth, the part I missed I’d already covered on my morning dog walk. So there!
Swan is definitely talented in the kitchen. I never have to ask for a sandwich; she always offers.
Thanks for the mushroom info. For the life of me, I couldn’t recall the name. I miss them!
I’m glad you enjoyed the Scuzz Twitty song. Not sure how I missed hearing him all these years.
