beansideI slept fully until 7am, no waking up at 5 and debating whether I wanted to get up. It was awesome. Today will be a busy day. We've got two games, one at 12:30, and one at 5:30, and so before then, I've gotta go see Dad. It's either that, or I'm going at 8:30 when we finish tonight and I'm definitely not in the mood to do that. So, early it is. I'm going to try to get myself together by 9:30 and get my ass moving.
Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to get my ass in gear and finish prepping for the Valentine's Day game. I have. done absolutely nothing beyond reading the module, so I need to upload some maps, and make some character sheets for the NPCs. Then, on Wednesday, I have an appointment to get my hair cut, since next week, I have to go in office for my first day. Don't want to look like a total schlub. Oh, and on Tuesday, I have to go pick up our king cake for Mardi Gras.
We had a wonderful day yesterday. We went to the movies for a matinee to see Argylle. I know it's not gotten great reviews, but it was really delightful. It was silly and fun, and the characters were all appealing, and it had a fun twist. I can see where some people went in expecting Romancing the Stone, and only got that for like the first 40 minutes, before it switched to The Long Kiss Goodnight.
After that, we went for a nice visit with Dad, who continues to be Mr. Sunshine. Not a single bitch while we were there. It was lovely. After that, it was home to change clothes for dinner.
I decided that with my Unemployment, I had enough to take the three of us out for dinner, since once Dad's home, we won't be able to do that. So, we went to the Local in White Marsh. Expensive, but oh-so good. One of their specials was poached pear sachettis with various cheeses and a parmesan sauce. It was SO good. I loved the bits of sweet with the slight sharpness of the blue cheese, and the creamy sauce. Honestly, if the meal had just been that, I'd have been happy. My sister had the cream of crab, which was excellent, and had a ton of crabmeat. Jess had the Chef's Chowder. It had blackened chicken and was a touch spicy, but so good. After much deliberating, Jess and I did the Beef Wellington, and my sister decided on a ceasar salad with steak.
They brought out my sister's salad, which looked amazing, and a moment later, a cart trundled out with a smoke filled glass dome on top. They swirled the dome around a bit, and then lifted it to reveal a double fist sized beef Wellington, which they split between Jess and I. Then, they deposited our sides, a delicious creamed corn that had just a touch of spiciness, and some parmesan potatoes.
Holy crap, it was SO good. The Wellington was so tender and tasty. The pastry was crisp, and the mushrooms cooked just right. It came with a demi glace that I wanted to lick off the plate. The parmesan potatoes were good, but the creamed corn was the best. Just a hint of spiciness to it. My sister decided that she was really in the mood for a salad, so she had the ceasar with steak tips, which were amazingly tender.
All in all, it was an amazing meal that may have ruined us for other restaurants.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get dressed so I can go see dad and get another cup of coffee. Everyone have a wonderful Sunday!
