That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I took a nap, and then a shower. Also good times.
I think I've decided that I want to finish everything except the guest room today, and then do the guest room in the evenings over the course of the week.

I think that's a very sensible plan, Lee.

I think so. Of course, it is dependent on me actually doing things, but most plans have their flaws, right?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I feel accomplished this weekend! I never get this many chores done. Three loads of laundry in, dry cleaning taken in, pedicure accomplished, shoes re-soled, trash taken out, dishes done, detergent and wine cork replaced, shower cleaned, prescription called in and picked up....

What is even happening?
Californians, do you ever see prawns listed on a menu, or hear U.S.-Americans talking about eating or ordering prawns? If so, is does it happen often, or rare?

yes, especially at Chinese restaurants.

Sometimes, but not very often unless they are talking about a menu item.

Thanks, Lee. Would you be more likely to see "shrimp" or "prawns" at restaurants where you might also be able to get lemon chicken?
Here's the thing, someone (not me) is writing something. They're having one of the characters say something about a friend ordering "Garlic Prawns" and another character ordering "lemon chicken". I'm thinking "Shrimp Ailio" or "Shrimp Scampi" is probably more likely, but maybe that's a regional thing, on my part. (The author is an Australian; the character is a Californian, but one who has been to a private school--possibly a boarding school).

In a Chinese/Asian restaurant, the garlic prawns and lemon chicken sounds right, since both are fairly typical Chinese dishes. In a non-Chinese restaurant, I'm not sure I'd expect to see lemon chicken on the menu.
