I hate when this happens

susandennisSo I dropped off my Goodwill stuff and did go inside the store but only for one item. I needed a pillowcase. It needed to be a fun print or good colors and it needed to have an envelope closure or be big enough so that I could create one easily.
The pillow cases are mid way into the store so I went right there. And found exactly what I wanted. $3. Paid for it and on the wings of success, flew onto the teriyaki place. I've been wanting to try Toshio's for a while. But they don't make it easy. No online ordering, phone (ugh) only. Adn it's in a weird spot. But, today was the day.
They have a bunch of hand made signs that were very confusing about where to line up and where to order and to call in the order and arrows pointing this way and that. Fortunately just as I drove up the customers who were waiting all got their stuff and left. I went to the Order Here sign and read the menu and decided but then could not find how/where to order.
Out a window above me a guy barked "Order Here!" in perfect soup Nazi "order or go away" tone. I told him what I wanted. He asked questions I could not hear or understand. This restaurant is at a very busy intersection 10 steps from the road. It was not pleasant. "Card or cash?" he demanded. Card. And he disappeared. Several minutes later some other people arrived and the guy came back to the window and shoved a clipboard at me. I signed and took my card. And waited in the traffic/truck fumes and rain. And waited and waited. And, made plans to never ever go there again. And searched on my phone for other teriyaki places. Then, it was really raining and I went to sit in my car. Finally my order came out.
I headed home and before I got tot he first stoplight I knew I was fucked. The smell was intoxicating. It was going to be delicious and I would have to go back. Godamnit.
I ordered chicken and beef teriyaki combo - no salad - with sides of tempura shrimp and eggrolls. Turns out he did not give me the combo, chicken only but I don't care. It is so delicious. The shrimp was good, the eggrolls were perfection as was the chicken teriyaki. I got so much so that I could have the rest for dinner tonight. I nearly ate it all but managed to save dinner. I want to see how it re-heats. So so so good.
I keep thinking this is Saturday. It isn't.
Biggie got bitey this morning but differently. He was reaching out with his paw and then fake biting. Taking a finger or a thumb into this mouth. I don't think he would have really bitten but I shut it down before he could try. I fired up his favorite toy and he chased that around and around and around. Then I left. He was waiting when I got home but then went off for his nap.
