Heres to the bean stalk comment though. ����



Yeah, it can go either way. It was very cold a few days ago, low 80s coming up (darn the broken A/C), then plunging into the 30s next week. Wrecks havoc on the skin, but sometimes I like the variety. I hate using the heater, but grateful for it when I need it.

[quote=rainroosty;42816206]~ What did you have that was good to eat this past week?

Just had duck rice at Aqui Há Gato (There's a Cat Here.)

The restaurant is a small, informal neighborhood place...mostly all local customers. Under its former owner it had a counter woman who was slow, careless, etc...so I stopped going there. In comes a new young owner, Sergio, and he kept the woman and trained her to prepare and dish up the orders, which he and another young woman serve. Turns out the first woman's problem was that she is somewhat mentally disabled, and he realized that quick interactions were not her thing, but that she could deal with routine very well. Nice and intelligent move on Sergio's part. However, the woman does have one stunning creative quirk: she simply cannot find the dividing line between a green salad and fresh fruit dessert. The salad today was a bed of shredded lettuce upon which reposed fresh cucumber slices frolicking with sliced fresh strawberries and a couple of lost orange slices attempting to flee off the edge of the plate.


~ What kind of heating do you have in your home and do you like it? AC/inverter...I just heat the room I'm in. Very happy with it.

~ Have you ever gone to the market and found that they moved things around so that you don't know where things are?

My local Intermarché hipermercado does it, and it annoys me a lot. They were massively unimpressed by my complaints.

~ The last thing you had with tomato on it: Lately I´m having a problem with fresh tomatoes giving me acid indigestion, so I have banished them from the plate.

~ Have you had any precipitation this past week? I saw that the terrace was wet late yesterday afternoon, so it must have sprinkled at least. We are having a VERY dry winter....nice now, but not so nice this summer.

~ Do you miss the summer? No, winter has been very mild. Spring is well underway here...summer will come in its time.

~ What brand shaver do you have? soap, water, throw-away-razors

~ Who washes your clothes and where do your clothes get washed? Me in a clothes washer in the kitchen.

~ Where do you suppose Paul Bunyan lived? Perth Amboy in a fourth floor walkup next to my mother's Uncle Stinky.

~ Have you ever used an axe? Yes

~ How about a sledge hammer? Yes

~ Have you ever been served something to eat in a basket? Think now.... long ago in a few American restaurants.

~ Orange __pekoe_______.

~ Do you save any containers from something you bought to use as a handy storage container? Yes, mostly small bottles or boxes that can be used for nails, screws or other small items that get lost in a drawer.

~ Where was the last place that you walked on 'the beach'? Where I live in SW Portugal.

~ What kind of store do you really like to browse around in? Book stores

~ Well, now that we're at the book store, what section are you heading to first? Probably philosophy and religion, or history.

~ Where shall we have a bite to eat now that we're done shopping? I'm thinking of two different bookstores in Lisbon, but both have outdoor cafe/restaurants very nearby.

~ Now that you are home, what would you like to do? Read! I probably just spent a fortune.

~ What time would you like to go to bed? I'm going to take a nap right now, bye.
