Exciting Friday night
Dec. 13th, 2013 07:40 pmMy class did not end early on Friday. And then on the way out of the industrial complex, my driver had to return for... something. Paperwork of some sort. I heard "Steak of" or perhaps "Stake half." With the accent it was impossible to tell. So it was 6:30pm before I got to the hotel.
As I walked through the lobby, I realized that I had a Plan for the Evening. It was a good plan, I liked it.
I wanted... a glass of wine as I soaked my aching feet in hot water and epsum salts. WINE! I haven't had alcohol in weeks.
I thought about trying to stop at the lobby bar, but then wasn't sure about the payment... Room service. In my room, I dug out the room service menu from underneath three newspapers and flipped through it. No alcohol. Surely they'll bring it anyway?! So I ordered something I could not pronounce off the asian dinner menu (turned out as noodles) and a dessert. Like last Friday, they don't actually OFFER any of the desserts on the dessert menu. I picked whatever their special was. The dessert was forgettable, pretty much like last Friday's meal.
The noodles were AMAZING!!! Easily the best meal I've had in.... um... better than last weekend..... better than the pizza I had with a coworker... Um... Best meal I've had since Thanksgiving! ...Right? Surely I had something good after Thanksgiving but before I flew out... Anyway, the noodles were delicious. I have no idea how much of that was influenced simply by contrast to everything else I've been eating.
And the wine was perfect. It matched the hot water and epsum salts. Win!
Yeah, after that I went to bed. Exciting night, huh? You were expecting me to go out and "party?" Ha!
