Buy the food!

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope all is well with you, and you are having a wonderful time.  I'm feeling better than I did yesterday.  I recently changed up my workout to phase out sit ups which I thing are worthless, and replace them with leg exercises.  Which left me with a pain in my butt, but I'm getting over it inshaAllah.  Hey, check out the video above.  I remember spending over 70 bucks for dinner once at Benihana just for an itsy bitsy steak and some lousy vegetables.  I'll bet the meal above cost an arm and a leg.  What you're paying for is the show, which isn't worth it if you already know how to cook and can afford the ingredients.  If I wanted to hear him play the drums, I would go to a rock concert!  But I'm sure you would enjoy such a show while waiting for your food.  What really impressed me is that flat grill.  I'm seriously thinking about owning one if I could afford it.  Cleaning it involves scraping the grease and trash into a drain at the side, and it would be tough to keep it that shiny forever, so a black one would be better.  I can't toss and juggle utensils like this guy, though.  Hell, it costs me half my sanity just cleaning and putting away the dishes.

I spent more time in the kitchen today over yesterday.  I made fried curry noodles for lunch.  Which is really simple folks, just make noodles in curry then cook off all the moisture in the curry!  It worked out quite well, and I have some left over.  For dinner, I went and spent money at the night market.  This is a responsibility of our family Natty, we must patronize other merchants so please make sure you do that.  Pandemic or no pandemic, don't let the economy die.  I bought takoyaki, fried fish sausage, and some cakes and sweets from a little old lady.
