The stirfry was a bit of a failure really. Using the wrong noodles didn’t help. I picked out all those that had clumped together, hunkered down and made the best of it – an overabundance of chicken jammed in with bok choy wedges whilst the faint smell of chilli and ginger taunted. Kim – how on earth do you do it! Thank goodness for the 7 buck Jacobs Creek and the Zykos CD I bought at the gig on Wednesday. The afternoon was spent in a suburban sports bar on S.Wilcrest, watching the Browns bumble their way past the Redskins. Natalie and I tried a different beer each time, as people cussed and frothed at bad umpire calls, and cheered when the Astros won their game that gave them the wild card spot. We counted 51 TVs inside. The Browns won, and when we left, the most vocal of the fans approached us and apologised for his swearing. We were highly amused and later talked about the exquisite manners of these southerners.
