Chinese Dinner

September 11th, 2015 at 03:35 pm

My dinner at the Chinese restaurant last night cost $14. We all ordered different entrees and shared them family-style. It was great fun! I was very disappointed in the tea, though. They gave me hot water and a tea bag! Definitely not worth it. Chinese restaurants used to always serve great brewed tea.

Plans for today include a walk to the library, but first I have to watch one more DVD. I've watched two -- "Another Life" and Woody Allen's "Match Point." "Another Life" sounded good, but it was very amateurishly produced, clichéd and tedious. "Match Point," on the other hand, was masterfully done (even though the story was a bit disturbing). Love or hate Woody Allen, his talent is undeniable. The movie I'm watching today is "A Long Way Down," based on the Nick Hornby novel. Supposedly "beautiful, funny and inspiring." I have high hopes.

I found a dime yesterday. I'm inching very close to the $70 mark in found money!

I got a coupon from my grocery store for 10% off a $200 grocery trip, if I get my flu shot in their clinic. My flu shot is covered by insurance; it will be free no matter where I get it. So I'd like to get the 10% off groceries, but I don't want to spend $200 all at once. I wonder if they would object to me buying a gift card, so I could spend it a little at a time?

Today's menu:

Breakfast: Oatmeal w/cranberries
Lunch: Deviled eggs, applesauce, veggies
Dinner: Fettucine Alfredo

    Mmm. Now I want Chinese!! Instead I think I'll go make a smoothie for lunch.

    Was it tea for the entire group or did you order your preferred type of Chinese tea? Did the restaurant charge for their tea bag in hot water? Thanks for the head's up, I will make it a point to ask for a specific brewed tea.

    I asked for green, but I was the only one. Maybe if we had had tea for the tables, we would have got the real thing.

    Nothing in the fine print about not buying gift cards? It couldn't hurt to ask!

    Hope the gift card idea works out!

    I recently found a new Amy's meal - Chinese noodles with cashew sauce. SO yummy. Once I get past September (where I'm really trying to NOT buy more groceries unless absolutely necessary) I'm going to try to figure out how to make an approximation of it.
