I’m regretting the fourth slice of pizza I just had….. Had 3 for lunch and just grabbed another one to “snack on.”
Yuck.
I have 4 and a half more hours of work to go! Then I get to go home and make Alan and me Momma food (my mom’s shredded pork with rice) and we get to watch the OU game. I hope OU wins ugly.
Nino, Nisreen, Bing, Katambra, my brother, and I went to our usual dim sum place (T&S Seafood on Lamar). I shared with my friend, Alex the night before and he asked me why I was going to T&S when Shanghai is better. Curious, I brought us over to Shanghai this weekend to try it out. It was just Nisreen, Jesse, Nino, and me. If you ever go to T&S. It’s not very clean. Tasty and good but not … clean? Shanghai has a little bit more ghetto location but walking in, it looks pretty pristine.
The food taste fresher. The Chinese broccoli taste better here and we all agreed that this is as far as it goes. The rest of the food was just… mediocre. It gets an A for cleanliness and for its Chinese broccoli. Crisp and not hard and chewy. Fresh.
Can’t have a dim sum experience without the steamed shrimp dumplings.
Can’t a dim sum experience without some kind of traditional dim sum dessert. Like these egg custards.
So Shanghai also gets an A for having creme brulee. It’s the first dim sum I’ve been to with CREME BRULEE. I had Nisreen snap this picture for me.
I should do a blog entry for T&S Dim Sum next time we go. We still choose T&S over Shanghai. Shanghai is also a bit pricier. It was 60 dollars for us when at T&S we’d get more for less than that.
I leave you with a picture of my brother. We stopped by the Asian market after dim sum so Nino could get some crabs and rice. He cooked for us later that night! Snapped a picture of my brother with the bag of rice and the hat he found. He wanted to buy it to go fishing with Nino and Deesh when they go fishing. I advised him against it. He might get shot by a war vet with a flashback.
Financial:
- Have a full year’s worth of expenses (rent, bills, food) saved up in my emergency fund. I think I just need 6K more since my CD will mature in June. Reevaluate this goal if I move/rent goes up when my lease ends in July.
- If I have leftovers, (which I doubt) max out my Roth IRA.
- If I have leftovers after that, (which I HIGHLY doubt) attack my student loans in the same manner I attacked my car loan last year.
Leisure/Cultural/Fun
- Read 20 books (double from last year’s total of 10)
- Take an art class. (Fused Glass perhaps?)
