Well, the good news is, I am posting again! The bad news is, I actually saw snow flakes -
what the...? Sheesh, earlier this week it was absolutely balmy (in the American sense, meaning hot - not the British sense, meaning crazy-go-nuts). Then, Wednesday evening, a mighty storm front blew through, and then the temps plummeted 20 degrees in a matter of minutes. Now, Summer is a distant memory, and it is time to unpack the recently-stashed cold weather stuff (which was vacuum-packed, thanks to an ingenious bag that uses our home vacuum to suck out the air, leaving a flattened, moth-proofed, easily stored piece of clothing). Yes, obviously another sign of global warming - because everyone knows that when the earth heats up, temps drop... er, or something to do with..., well, anyhow, you know what I mean.
In other news, My good friends, Tall Asian Dude, and his girlfriend, She Who Falls Between June and August (henceforth to known as SWFBJAA), will be tying the knot! These two wonderful people are back in Massachusetts - and I hope to head back there to see them actually do this (plus, I'm sure, the food will be memorable - those two appreciate good eats). One of the things I miss about MA is going to Boston's Chinatown and ordering amazing food with my friends. Ah, unfortunately Wing's Kitchen, and
pork-as-big-as-your-head has no equivalent in Kentuckiana.
The best we can do are the ubiquitous "Asian Buffet" (often just shortened to "Buffet" - which seems to be the generally understood local code for traditional American Polynesian/Chinese food - the likes of which have never been seen in either Polynesia or China... but I digress). Ironically, though, due to the proximity of Fort Knox, and its high concentration of Korean spouses, you can find some pretty darn authentic (not to mention tasty) Korean dishes served up in some very home-style restauraunts (and
Kim-chi that will melt the plastic trim off the front of your pickup truck at 50 meters - whoohoo!).
