Heads Up!

[susandennis]

And yes, we are on the home stretch of Operation Head for 2011. I was able to sleep just fine last night and washing my hair turned out to be a totally nothingburger. It felt so fun to rub in the shampoo and feel no bumps!!!

The actual sites are still sore to the touch but if I don't touch...

Seriously, there cannot be another creature on earth more locked into comfort than I am. Any tiny little thing that fucks with my comfort gets a big on raspberry from me. I was telling my neighbor, Ann, how I had not even considered for one minute that it might hurt. I had not even thought about it and she noted it was a good thing because chances are very good that had I considered that, I would never had gone through with it and she is exactly correct. I am very glad now that I did it especially now that I am looking at the back end of the owie.

I have work to do today but I'm ahead in my 40 hours and nothing is critical or even will be on Monday so I'm going to finish up one bit and probably take the rest of the day off. I'm doing laundry and the kitchen needs some attention.

My plans for the weekend are really not much. I'm meeting machupicchu and a friend of his for a movie early Saturday evening. The theater is on the other side of downtown from here. What I'm currently thinking is that I will walk over to Pike Place Market and have an early dinner at LePichet which is a place I have never actually been in but always wanted to try... or walk on up to PF Changs and get dinner there. And then meet them at the theater. Exercise, food and a movie. A perfect evening sounds like to me.

I don't have a brunch spot picked out for Sunday yet.

There is baseball to watch and there are bears to knit. My perfect weekend.

Get in line, sister.

Le Pichet is orders of magnitude better than PF Changs. You might want to call for reservations, though. (And yes, it's worth the effort.)

[susandennis]

i have no doubt that it is better but 1. i'm not going to mess with reservations this time because 2. i love the lo mein at pf's and may 'feel' like that on saturday anyway

i kind of feel like comparing the two is a real apples/oranges thing

good to know, however, that le pichet's is a worthy goal. if not saturday then someday - heck, maybe sunday brunch.

I haven't tried brunch there yet. Let me know what you think.

The next time you're looking for a Saturday brunch place in the U-district near the farmer's market check out Nook (on University Way a few stores S of 50th, on the campus side). It really is a nook of a place. They specialize in biscuits but have other good things as well. I had lunch there yesterday and plan to try Saturday morning brunch sometime soon (perhaps even tomorrow). Sadly, they aren't open on Sunday.

the Nook is a tab I keep open to remind myself to go there!! but their website kind of implies that if you don't get there at 8, they will run out of biscuits and there will be a huge line at 8.

if you go tomorrow (or any saturday) report back, ok?

We got there around 09:15. They had 2 open tables, no wait to order, and plenty of biscuits. Danny and I each had the biscuits and gravy. The gravy is non-traditional chicken gravy with buttermilk and good sausage. The buttermilk gives it a bit of a tang that was a bit disconcerting to me. They bring your food to the table but that's it for service. You won't feel ignored for coffee - you have to get it for yourself. :)

The food took a while to come out but was worth it. I really like their biscuits, even went back for a biscuit with maple syrup after finishing my biscuit and gravy.

[susandennis]

What a great report!!! Thank you.

Maple syrup on a buttered biscuit is, honestly, heaven for the mouth.

I won't be here next Saturday but I'm thinking the one after is going to be Nook day... I'll ping you guys closer to the day and see if you are avail to meet me.

Thanks!!

On the 28th I have plans to go to Tacoma for a matinee of Hello Dolly so it'd have to be a fairly early brunch but I'm up for it.

Your head operation makes me wonder what a phrenologist would think, and along those lines reminds me of an adventure I had in Thailand. I went with a small group of my Peace Corps friends to a palm reader who had been highly recommended to one of them. She showed her palm to the palm reader, and he folded her hand back up, and wrote an address on a scrap of paper. He said to come back after she had seen the doctor there. Her hand had a little black splinter in it, and the palm reader told us (while she went off to the doctor) that the black mark on that part of her hand was fatal, and he could not read her palm until it was removed.

[susandennis]

wow. that's creepy.

my doctor said that she sent my bumps off to be screened for cancer.... she didn't say where or by whom but i don't think it was to a phrenologist.

if i were a cartoonist,i would be tempted to fashion up something about dropping your head bumps off to be read - in by breakfast, out before supper!

[howeird]

Yeah, it did creep us out big time.

I like the "drop off your head bumps" idea.
