Andrea and i went to IKEA near DC last Sunday. it was an all day trip and we had a great time. got a lot of cheap furniture designed by the Swedish and packaged by the Chinese. i really loved the store. it was designed and layed out very efficiently and intelligently. read Andrea's blog for more details.
while there, i'm pretty sure i saw Claude Coleman, the drummer for Ween. i whispered to Andrea "i think i see Claude Coleman!!". she was like "who??" and i said "the drummer for Ween. RIGHT THERE!!". she answered, "take a picture...oooh! look at that bookcase" or some such thing. the 1st stop on their East Coast tour is in on the 25th in, you guessed it: DC. it was totally him. i have now seen "Ween" 4 times in the past 10 years and Claude Coleman 5.
tonight Andrea was in the mood for something spicy, so she made this kung-pow chicken that certainly fit the bill. she put it over rice in our bowls and warned me it was spicy. i licked a spot of juice that splattered on my hand and coughed for the next minute or so. you know how when you swallow something exactly the wrong way? maybe it's just me, but it was as though the fire-juice went directly from my hand to the back of my throat. misery. it was a sign of things to come.
i dug into mine with a nice big bottle of cold water...and boy did i need it. i was sweating and my mouth was numbing but it was great! Andrea ate a couple bites and had to fix herself something else. it was just too hot for her, which worked out great for me b/c i ate hers, too. she was upset with herself b/c she followed the "extra spicy" directions on the box by crushing the dried red peppers into the mix. haha. i ate all mine, hers and all the leftovers on the stove. my stomach is currently gurgling and i do not look forward to tomorrow. i'm hoping the ice cream i had for desert will hook me up, but i doubt it.
job's going good. marriage is going good. dog's good.
