back at work today, although I still sound hoarse enough that my immediate supervisor will happily let me out early. I just want to finish this unit, and the last chapter is entirely unformated Spanish translations in Word. I'm about a third through the Quark now.
My chicken soup tends to be a variant on hot and sour soup, which flushes my sinuses but good. Since the China Town Gate is ... (leans over and points) ... right over there, it's a safe bet that I can find some good soup. (Yes![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
obra I could walk over and meet you for a weekday Dim Sum this month. Ahem.)
I ask the channel, who name various places that I manage not to see, except for the Pho place where I went to get the Lychee Ice. Solo-seaters are horrible wastes of that tight dining space. Elsewhere then.
Someone mmmmm'd at the mention of Watermelon with Pearls. Sure it was one of those Lapsang Shoepolishwong fans, but, I even tried Burnt Armpit tea once. (Once.)
So, I find some random noodle joint that happens to have said pearls on the drink menu. And they're dark brown. It's served with an extra thick straw for them too. Some part of me imagines it's code for poison dart or something that requires some MacGuyvering of the thick straw that the Chinese Mafia orders to use against each other. Some movie involving Chow Yun Fat and bad subtitles. Woosh Woosh Unh Unh Unh Woosh Swish Ca-Tchowa Aaiiiii...
Maybe they're tapiocas. or tadpoles...
infinitehotel! what did I just eat?
