So, you're not just a pretty face.

Wow! That is amazing!
 
I make my own Sweet and Sour Spareribs at home. They're not the radioactive pink sauce with deep fried mystery meat! I also make chicken chow mein and fried rice. As we get older, not as often as I used to. It's time consuming and labor intensive in that you have to keep an eye on the ingredients when you're cooking them at a high temp.

I might make some sweet and sour this weekend... :)
 
It's some sort of social law for everyone to read theirs to the table...
According to a Chinese elderwoman in the family, when reading your "fortune" (aloud to everyone at the table, or even, the whole restaurant) the following words should be added on at the end of it: in bed. Seriously. Really. She actually told us that.......... :thumbsup:

Gave myself the day off so I can watch the latest winter storm from the comfort of home. There was already snow on the ground when I got up (nice & late :)). It changed to sleet a short time later and now, freezing rain. The fresh-roasted coffee beans my brother gave me yesterday made for some delectable brew to accompany orange rolls for breakfast. I'm just hoping that the power stays on - I will get quite grumpy if not...
 
Can someone with OCD play in a band? All the errors would drive them nuts. Well maybe they could play in a DEVO type or a surf band.
I work with a drummer who can be like this. Drives me crazy sometimes, but he's so good I really don't want to work with anyone else. I have learned to just ignore him and do what I want. Usually he forgets what he thought he wanted by the next rehearsal, anyway.

I did an open mic with people I'd never met Wednesday night. The drummer and I listened to each other-I especially listened to his kick drum patterns-and you'da thunk we'd been playing together forever. Fun to lay down a solid foundation for the others.

There's something so rewarding about a good bass-drum combo, and it's nice when both players are aware of just how special that is. Sounds like you had a great time and I hope the two of you exchanged contact info!

I had to leave, they went back up. I'll catch him next Wodens Day or through the BL.
