amancalledpony's blog post - Lunch (aka when the locus come...)

Now I am still not feeling well. So all I wanted for lunch was Hot n Sour soup. Now my fav Chinese closed up three months ago. But I ate at my number 2 right before Christmas. The have good hot n sour soup plus the hottest chinese mustard around. Drive over there. CLOSED. They are becoming a crayfish place (a few years back the Sacramento Delta was the largest crayfish producer in the US - before the drought). So crayfish are not as unusual as it sound. But it does me no good in my search for Hot n Sour soup. Go to number 3. A pit of place. In a dead strip mall, vacant storefronts on either side, I am sure they use the rats in the kitchen in place of chicken. But they do make good soup - I only order it with Tofu. THEY have a fucking rental truck in front, moving all the fixtures out. FUCK!
Ok, plan B - Chicken Noodle soup from Safeway. Hell it is right across the street. They only have large containers at the soup station. I do not want, need, or wish to pay $5.00 for a large chicken noodle. I ask at the deli counter if they had small containers for soup. The bitch said they were too busy to worry about the containers for soup. Shit I was the only person at the deli counter. Oh well.
Plan C. I put a piece of lamb in marinate yesterday for dinner today. Guess dinner is pushed up a few hours. Make some curried couscous. Heat the broiler and stick the lamb in. Pull it out, flip it. Loookin good. Set the table. Go to pull the lamb out and I have a grease fire in the broiler pan. DOUBLE FUCCCCCCCCCCK!!! Fork the lamb out of the pan, fling it on the plate, grab the baking soda, dump some in the pan, kill the flames. Then I sit down to eat - fearing the worst.
In spite of everything the lamb came out great. Juicy, tender, great taste. The only burned parts were fat. It was a fattier piece of meat then I thought which is why the flame up. So now I have an oven door to clean up, I am not exact when dousing ustensile enflamme, and perplexed on what to make for dinner.

Rather unconventional way to cook lamb, but glad it worked out. Sorry that you never did get near any hot and sour soup though.

One, I hope you get to feeling better very soon.
Second, LMFAO, sorry, LOL, but talk about if not for bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all, which you did with the lamb, hurrah.

At least you had a silver lining to pull thru the shitty day. Me and the old lady are still sick. Neither of us made it to work today. She figured out we might have sinus infections since it's lingered so long and I have amoxicillin for that so I started popping them today. She won't take any because she made a drs. appointment for tomorrow and wants to still be good and sick for that! Go figure. lol Hope you get to feeling better man. Chicken soup ain't that hard to make. Honest!
