With one eye open...

     Yes, it is with one eye open that I am typing out this page. Last week my Lobster had arranged for us to spend an evening with The Sensei and his Better Half. We walked to their place and ate a wonderful meal that Chef Charlene had produced - homemade chicken enchiladas, dirty rice and a Mexican salad. Dessert was a gluten free lemon meringue pie. All of it was fantastic. After dinner we all walked to the Wayward Inn for cards and libations. And a good time was had by all. Chef Blaine had made some Maki rolls and left me to slice and serve them. A bit heavy on the wasabi but pretty good all the same.

     The start of another week and today is my Jr. Loin Fruit's birthday. A whole 22 years of age. He's still doing his schooling and he has a plan in place for his future. We're going to celebrate tomorrow as some of us are busy tonight.

     The new Rabbit Hutches near the Wayward Inn are nearly complete and a couple of the buildings now have residents. With 200+ more units there is going to be a lot more traffic in that very small portion of the neighborhood. And, we know that the rental units are pretty pricey. Is that because the developer wants to earn the most the fastest? Is it in line with "the market index"? Is it to keep the riff raff out of the this residential area because the NIMBY's all know that low priced rental units will attract the societal dregs work who are apt to commit crimes in their neighborhood?

     Yesterday was an 11 1/2 hour day in the salt mine and as soon as I got home I quickly changed so we could all go out. The Jr. Couch Monkey had chosen to have us dine at a very posh restaurant. It over looks the Harbour and much to my Better Half's concern its menu is very seafood forward. We all relaxed with an aperitif and selected our meals. When going to a restaurant I like to order something tha Chef Blaine or Chef Irene do not normally create at the Wayward Inn. So, I had the panko crusted chicken breast stuffed with crab, asparagus and brie with garlic mashed potatoes seasonal veggies on an bed of bourankaas cream sauce. Pretty swanky. 

     After the bill was all settled we all returned to the Wayward Inn for birthday cake. Chef Irene had made a cream cheese cake in a bundt pan. Delicious! We played a few rounds of Moral Dilemma. We used to have it before but the previous version was a heck of a lot tamer. This new version is much more adult and can really put a person on the spot. We'll have to play it the next time we get together with the Sensei and his Lobster. 

    One final thing, my Better Half and I dashed off to see the Ex-pat Brit. She has been in hospital since she sold the house last September and the cretins moved the northern Interior. The Ex-pat  won't be with us much longer. Her body is all but consumed itself and I dare say she weighs less than her bed linens. The hospital staff is keeping her comfortable which is a Godsend. She has several other friends who have been going to see her on a regular basis but all of the Jackals, Vultures and Hyenaes are in the Interior. Once she has left for the Great Beyond it won't be long before they stalk their way to the lawyers office to feast on the spoils. They have been snapping and snarling for monies ever since the Ex-pat's husband passed away five years or so. I would really like to see her donate the bulk of her estate to a charity and leave them an amount that reflects how much they put into caring for their Matriarch, which is next to nothing. It's all about Treason and Fuckery and in my mind this is her golden opportunity for a little payback.
