Birthday and beyond
Leslie singlehandedly made sure that my birthday was non-sucky :) We did some shopping -- mostly bought things for Richard, mind you, got our nails redone, and had yummy Chinese food for lunchies. I very much like Grand Peking's crab rangoon and sweet and sour pork.
Richard took me to the dinner of my choice, which was Claim Jumpers. I tried out the tuna sammich that Leslie recommended. I wasn't a huge fan, but it didn't suck. It's not on my list of things to get at Claim Jumper again though. Then since it was my birthday, I decided to finally try their "I Declair" dessert. It was vile. A gigantic, floppy, not fresh eclair with a tiny bit of lumpy custard, covered with this plasticine "hot fudge sauce" that had obviously been sitting in a warmer forEVER. That in and of itself would have just been disappointing. But no. They had to fuck it up by putting the gigantic floppy eclair on top of some really nice french vanilla ice cream. Then the vile part. They covered the entire exposed side surfaces with vertical stripes of overwhipped heavy cream. *BARF* It looked like Devil's Tower. It tasted just ugh. What a waste of birthday splurging!
Then we came home and played Halo :)
Today, I decided on what boxes to use for mailing treats -- 7x7x6 priority mail boxes. I'm going on the theory that I'll either buy or cut 6x6 squares of cardboard, and then wrap and stack things in the boxes and mail them out. That way we can mix and match items and things are fairly consistent.
