Another week has flown by! We’re roughly a month away from our departure for Berlin
, and are incredibly relieved to have settled the final obstacle — i.e. finding a reliable person for our home & cats: a Turkish professor who used to care for stray cats in Istanbul, and whose rental contract is running out. He’s excited to have a place to stay while looking for a new home and really hit it off with our boys when he visited last weekend ![]()
As for what’s cooking at casa lingua these coming days:
Today my boo and I are meeting up with a few of my gal pals at the beer garden, bc the weather is going to be absolutely spectacular. Today’s food truck catered my friend’s retirement party, and I wasn’t impressed with any of it (blandly seasoned), so we may snack on a few chonks of the roast pork I’d ordered at one of our Asian grocers that was delivered from Chinatown yesterday. I also have just about a bowl’s worth of the fantastic lamb curry & ssssssspicy raita I made a couple days ago, so we def won’t go hungry.
Tomorrow could be a poker game, which usually means delivery.
Saturday ditto. Whichever night we’re not playing I’ll be making… something. Mabez that heavenly tofu dish I’ve had on my brainz lately.
Sunday it’s cooling down again bc April is a fickle bish. Maybe a pasta is called for, like the spinach tagliatelle I got at the Mid-Atlantic State Unemployment Center with shrooms and truffle Boursin.
Monday we leave for Hershey to stay at a hotel overnight. My dude’s recent stress test didn’t have the greatest results, pacifically the aptly named ‘widowmaker’ looked concerning, so he’s being catheterized Tuesday morning to find out what’s going on. Might be his 13-yr old stent needs to be replaced, which is why we also booked another night, just in case. So, dinner somewhere in Hershey — mayhaps at the reasonably good Greek place we’ve dined at before, or we make the quick drive to Harrisburg for excellent Viet food.
Tuesday TBD. All depends on whether we stay in Hershey.
Wednesday hopefully back at casa lingua. TBH I can’t plan that far ahead RN.
Happy cooking, fellow HOs! Keep your loved ones close and eat all the good tings ![]()
