Today was not my favorite day.
Woke up still sick, coughy coughy, ick. Went to work with Bry so I could have the car. Then visited 5 stores in an attempt to find bean sprouts for a Vietnamese dish I was attempting to make tonight (Lemongrass pork bowls). Finally found them. In the process I followed my GPS to Costco's office, not Costco, and accidentally got onto I-405 South at about 10:30am. You'd think rush hour would be over...not so much. At least I was getting off at the next exit, but still! It's 1030 people, aren't you at work yet?! I eventually did make it to Costco where a plethora of delightful goods met my eye: Hunter boots, Frye boots (!!), soft and cozy thermals, gaiters, driving gloves, balaclavas, snowshoes, kids toys, kids books...ah!!
But have no fear! My Dutch sensibilities did not allow me the ability to actually buy any of these wares.
3 hours after dropping off Bry, I made it back, and collapsed on the couch. You know when you're sick, any exertion results in achey tiredness? Even though you've basically done nothing? Yup. To the couch for me. Jordy slept nearby...he's not cuddly these days though.
The rest of the day passed uneventfully, but guess what happened at dinner?
Bryan bbqed the pork, I cut veggies nice and thin, rice vermicelli cooked to perfection, salad looking pretty with starfruit slices...we ate, we enjoyed, and then I realized,
AFTER ALL THAT DRIVING AT 5 GROCERY STORES I FORGOT TO SERVE IT WITH BEAN SPROUTS!!!!
Sigh.
