“Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.”- Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.
Just got back from lunch at Hunan’s with Drew M, Joe M, Minh T, and Peggy S. I think I seriously got spoiled over the day and a half I was at home.
Before I went home, I had been subsisting entirely on frozen burritos. And I didn’t even have the luxury of nuking them, since our microwave is broken. I had to heat them in the toaster oven.
The day I went home, I didn’t have breakfast or lunch, just in anticipation of food food at home home.
Yesterday, I was digging through the fridge after I got back from my dentist appointment, and found all the mixings to make a taco salad, so I started to make myself one. But it turns out we were out of tortilla chips, so I just got the most convenient starch present… some rice that my mom had made ahead of time for dinner.
OK, I guess at this point, you’re probably thinking, “What the hell? That sounds vaguely gross… how does he consider himself spoiled?” I guess the point isn’t lunch itself, but the fact that my mom, being the awesome mom that she is, keeps the fridge and pantry stocked with goodies, and I can always find something to munch on, whether for lunch, linner, or some crazy snack at 2 AM.
So yeah… Hunan’s was decent. (Honestly, I don’t think it’s as good as it used to be.) But it can’t hold a candle to home-made meals. First off, the quality doesn’t compare to my mom’s. And second… it’s all you can eat at home.
I think my stomach unshrank, actually. This could be trouble for me. :unsure:
Oooh, I miss home cooked food and Hunan’s It was pretty decent for Davis Chinese food and pretty inexpensive. I was totally craving it last weekend. Though there’s this Chinese Buffet place right next to the Hawaii supermarket for $5. I doubt it’s any good though.
