Well, Judy quit smoking. It's been about 2 weeks now. Just went cold turkey.
She's not really bugging me about it. Much. So I've got 2-1/2 packs of smokes left so I guess I'll give it a try too. We'll see how long this lasts before I snap, grab an axe, and chop someone's head off!

Deep Frying
So, I've never deep fried no nothing at any time myself. Well, The son-in-law's son's girlfriend brought us a whole package of home made egg rolls (She's Laotian). So the wife and I went out the other day and bought a deep fryer and a gallon of oil (10W40).
I was expecting to have an expolsion or at least a fire. But they turned out OK. Excellent, in fact. Now I want to deep fry everything! Get me some Twinkies!!! Mozarella sticks! Mushrooms! Chicken! Ice Cream! French Fries!
I've got to remember to change the oil in it tho'. I remember, when I was in Korea, going to the only McDonald's in the country. The fries tasted like fish! Because they never changed the oil (or had separate vats). And fish is real big in Korea.

The cars are another year older.
Well, it's a new year. New challenges, new hopes, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.
We went to dinner at a new restaurant called Thai Basil Fusion. Not bad. If you like Thai food that's kind of tweaked for the American palette. Then we went home to watch "Burn After Reading". Now I owe the video store since I burned the DVD after watching. What a waste of 2 hours of my life! We tried, but could only make to 11:00. When we woke, the new year still arrived. I was, of course, a little fuzzy around the edges. Miller Lite, ya know.
Gonna cook a turkey today and have some people over. Got to go to the store for all the sides, etc. Man, do I have exciting weekends or what?
Judy spent the last 4 days at her Mom's (I had to work). If it wasn't for take out and beer, I'd probably be in the hospital for lack of nutrition. HA! Just too lazy or imaginative to cook for myself.
Christmas was good. I got hosed. All I got was $50 bucks and a Bears blanket. The blanket's cool (or should I say warm and cozy?). I burned thru the 50 in a heartbeat buying things like food and beer. Since I bought Judy her new monitor I get to go shopping for myself for "Xmas" presents. So I've got about $130 worth of spending to do plus the $30 Kohl's bucks I have. So far, I've bought 2 new pair of slacks. Can't find anything else right now I really want/need. We'll see tomorrow.
