Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Good rewards.

I actually was perky enough after work to water some plants, wash some dishes and pack up some Halloween decorations to take to my cube tomorrow. More than I've accomplished after work in a dog's age!

Now to figure out what to have for dinner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG such a long day. Most-of-the-day meeting, then other work, then had to go to dinner with my coworker -- she lives out of town, but has been here a couple of days most weeks since she started a month or so ago, and not one person has had dinner with her! Poor thing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We had the first lovely day here in weeks. So after work I dragged a couple of friends out for dinner somewhere with outdoor seating. It was delightful.

I discovered that the defrosted container I thought was full of chicken in tomato sauce was actually full of turkey taco filling after I had started heating up my noodles, so I zigged into trying Hec's crack!corn recipe over noodles. I used sweet paprika instead of smoked, because that's what I have, but compensated with a few drops of liquid smoke, because I also have that. Not bad. Could probably use more cheese, but what couldn't?

More cheese is better.

My reward for getting through today will be tacos

Food truck caravan is on Thursday, btw. And you can get not only Filipino tacos (extra spicy) but Chairman Bao's porkbelly bao.

Well, I was going to make tacos at home, but I think I need to know more about this food truck situation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's dangerous knowledge you seek, shrift.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oo that reminds me, there's a truck bymyoffice that sells Beijing duck tacos/fries, pork belly tacos/fries, and other such delicacies. And poor me conferencing with students all day and nothing to pack for lunch!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The taco place in my neighborhood that had a duck taco (along with a mashed potato taco, a Korean beef taco, and Taco O'the Moment such as the Thanksgiving taco or the brisket and mac&cheese taco) abruptly closed 2 months ago. I am still in mourning.

Of course, being my neighborhood, it still has 2 taco places left. Trufax.

Looks like Chairman Bao, Creme Brulee cart and Bacon Bacon will all be there.
