Someone way smarter than me once said "You can pick a horse, You can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family!" My brother in law Peter has some issues, and has for many years. We take him and Momma Lee for lunch every six weeks or so. His favorite restaurant is The China Kitchen now called the Asian Kitchen. It's a freakin buffet! Dim Sum, Sushi, chow mein the list goes on and on! Why, Why, Why? Because Peter's family and it makes him happy.
I'm writing this at ten o'clock in the morning. At nine o'clock I ate a preemptive breakfast in the hopes that I will not go berserk in the Asian Kitchen. Two eggs, avocado and tomato I also added melon and apple because I need the fiber. Thanks Karen.
It's that time of year when we eat out on the deck quite often. Things are growing and it's so relaxing.
Until 10:52, when the bus arrives at the bus stop across the street. Freakin air brakes!
Here's a funny thing. They say an apple a day keeps the Doctor away. I don't like raw apples. So being a problem solver, everything tastes better sauteed in butter. If only I could have found the Cinnamon.
Peter will be here by noon, so I have a couple of hours of weed whacking to do. As usual Peter shows up early. He's not really a talker, so he sits and drinks coffee and goes out on the deck to smoke.
When Lisa gets back from her appointment we head out to pick up Momma Lee. She seems to be in a really good mood. She speaks so softly these days it's a struggle to hear her. That may not be such a bad thing. Asia Kitchen in Coquitlam. Peters favourite restaurant.
They have five kinds of noodle. Five kinds! Shanghai is my favourite. It's curry flavoured. Not on my diet.
They have two huge steam tables lined both sides with delectable tidbits of Asian origin, and french fries. Right there between the shrimp chips (100% shrimp free) and the Yum Yum chicken. Which is aptly named. As Buffets go, this is a good one. The food is fresh and hot. The service is very good and the place is clean. I loaded up on protein.
I know this looks bad, a lot of meat and not much in the way of veggies. That's because my plate was full before I got to them. I went back for seconds, Bok Choy and broccoli in black bean sauce and a Lemon Grass chicken that was very tasty. Peter had four bowls of Ice Cream. We get him to come to our house on the bus then always give him a ride home to Poco.
I ate so much, I ate so much my belly was rolling inside my skin like pantyhose stuffed with cottage cheese! Another benefit of Asia Kitchen Buffet is, it seems to be a powerful laxative. Believe me, I`m not complaining!
All of a sudden it was four o`clock. I had done nothing but an hour of weed whacking and eat! It was time to drag my fat ass down to the Maiden. I did my four stair stretch, thirty sit ups and an hour on the Maiden. I didn`t do any crunches today because, I am a hockey fan. I wanted to watch the Canadiens game. As it was the score was 2 - 1 Montreal by the time I got upstairs. At 4 - 1 I went to have a shower. Now, there is a lot of me to wash but, with Rosie the water pic in hand, I move along pretty good. Squeaky clean and hockey happy. 4 -4? Really? I have to say, I thought they where done. I thought it was over.
They found the will to win. They were able to muster up the strength they needed to succeed. It's not supposed to be easy. If it was everyone would win a cup. It's in these games, when everything is on the line, that you see the character of a team. If this is a true representation of this teams character. I look forward to game seven in Montreal.
We had a few people come over after the first period. We had a cheese tray, snacks and played cards. I had a strange dinner tonight. At about eleven I was finally hungry. Baked chicken and Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps.
Not only have I been doing well on my program. I won twice at cards tonight. Must be the clean living. Dentist at 8:45 tomorrow morning. Just a cleaning. So I'm going to call it a night. Thanks again for your support and feel free to share.
That's all I got.
Till next time
Peace Out Ya'll
