Lame-o Saturday?

MeaghanandMichael

Hi all, being sick with a stomach bug this week made me pack up and head to my parent's house to do laundry and recoup tonight. Free boooze here though Any one else being super lame tonight?

mrsLesGrossman

We're relaxing and he is watching that hellboy thing on HBO, cheezeball.  I have booze too.

Chillin also.  I'm out of pop except for Dr. Pepper and Mt. Dew, neither of which sounds good with Captain, so probably no booze for me.  I'll probably turn in early tonight, FI's aunt wants to go to the farmer's market at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow.

Since you went to Yale- what is the name of the Italian deli/cafe that has the best sandwiches?  There are umbrellas outside, on the road parallel to the road with the courthouse but down in the direction of the Yale buildings.  We went there for lunch when I was a witness and I'm going back for more court but forgot the name of the place.  You get on a long line when you walk in.

I spent most of the day poking around online, and spent a few hours recording a 2.5 minute video.  It made me feel pretty lame.

EmmaBride2B

Pretty lame over here, yes. Booze and time-wasting websites tonight for me, I'm brain-dead after this week of classes. Hope you feel better soon

We are laying low tonight.  We had a pre-cookout to our blow out tomorrow night.   The guys are all playing in a golf tournament early tomorrow.  So it's a good thing. Plus between the golf tournament, football and the cookout, I'm sure everyone's livers are happy for the break tonight.

My bridal shower was this afternoon and I'm exhausted. I'm staying at my mom's tonight and I didn't bring a book or anything so now I'm bored. I'm too tired to go out, fi is at drill, and my mom's tired so she went to bed a half-hour ago. I'm thinking I might build a puzzle. I know, thrilling.

I'm here.  FI is watching college football (one game on TV, one on his computer) and I'm playing around with my DIY stuff.I made homemade applesauce earlier.  It is awesome.

MeaghanandMichael

E, not exactly sure... maybe Yankee Doodle? That is across from the au bon pain. If you want an awesome lunch do thai. There is nothing like New Haven Thai food. It is oddly not spicey though...

::raises hand:: Mine has involved doing dishes, making Velveeta, and cleaning up cat puke. Awesome.

mrsLesGrossman

I'll find it when I get there.  The attorney's office is near the corner of Bradley St and Whitney Ave, where there is some big important Yale House, from what I remember.  The place is a block behind that.  Anyway, it was so good and I'm going back if I can remember the name next week.  There is so much good Thai in NY, trust me, it isn't just New Haven.

mandysmear

Yeah.  It's a bun with some kind of amazing coconut filling, baked and then finished with a sweetened egg-wash.  OMG.  SO GOOD.We went for dim sum in china town today so we couldn't resist getting some.  Good thing today is cheat day

I just finished an 11 hour work day. I am not used to teaching on the weekends - and I haven't taught that long in forever. My feet are killing me. But, I'm about to have some ice-cream, so that should make today less lame.

Watching the Ohio State / USC game on TV and knotting while enjoying a big glass of wine. Brie - did you can your applesauce?  Do you use a water/boiling canner or a presser canner for applesauce?

There's a mongolian barbeque by my house that makes the coconut buns, they are to.die.for.

nda_roxybabe

Omg mandy that sounds amazing! I am officially jealous.I'm taking a break from the wine because its a little early to get too drunk

mrsLesGrossman

Not interesting at all, trust me.  I mentioned it the week I had to go to court the first time a few months ago.  A client who has a place in NY is really a CT resident.  We gave him a multi million dollar line of credit for his business, a magazine.  He came to my office on day for a meeting that was kind of heated because he wanted a line of credit increase and he was declined.  He walked out and then came in saying if I don't increase his line, he isn't paying it.  So he didn't pay it since 2007.  In CT, you can attach a property to a business loan if there are personal guarantees.  So my firm started the process to sue and get lien on his property until he pays back.  He tried to fight it saying he never personally guaranteed the business loan but he signed the documents and we discussed the personal guarantee before closing.  The funniest court moment at the hearing, he was on the stand and my firm's attorney asked-  lawyer- did you read the personal guarantee  dummy- no  lawyer- why?  dummy- I trusted my advisor lawyer- did your advisor ask you to read the documents?  dummy- yes  lawyer- what is your highest level of education  dummy- university degree  lawyer- from where  dummy- (very prestigious school)  lawyer- what was your degree in  dummy- journalism  Everyone in the room cracked up and the judge asked him why he is wasting everyone's time.  They stopped the hearing to review evidence and we are now going back.  I was also told that I can be hired as an expert witness again in financial matters for money.  The attorney said he is using me for another case soon.

I didn't can it, loopyseven.  FI eats applesauce twice a day, so one batch of twelve apples will last the two of us about a week. 

mandysmear

So good.  I love china town.

mrsLesGrossman

I want buns but sweet red bean, so good.  I don't see those in China Town but I'll have to ask for coconut. 

MeaghanandMichael

I love that they made the point about his reading comprehension level and then asked him about his education. This reads like a scene from ye olde 'The Practice'You're almost as hot as Dylan McDermott E

mandysmear

We got the red bean balls too.  I forgot about it actually.  I am not a huge fan, but my sister loves them.Some places call them coconut buns others call them cocktail buns.  Same exact heavenly thing.  Better than a maple dip donut from timmy ho's.
