101 Dishes to Eat Before You Die

My eating has become pretty boring. Spinach salads and way too much chicken. So sick of eating the same stuff. I'm in a rut. So yesterday at Half Price Books I found a book "101 Dishes to Eat Before You Die".


I can tell you now that I will not try all 101 dishes. Some of the dishes include rat, puffer fish, and yak penis. No thanks. Also, some things may be too expensive for my budget. But I'm going to make a go of it and try as many as possible.


Tonight, I'll be fixing Dish #39. New York Steak with Bearnaise sauce, sauteed potatoes, and Pomerol wine. I love Bearnaise. I haven't made it in a long time. Never even heard of Pomerol wine, but if I can find it at the store, I'll try it. I looked online and some bottles of it are $5K so it just might be out of my $15 wine budget.


I had the best shopping experience ever this week. I detest clothes shopping. I wanted a new suit. I left my office at 11:19 am and went to Macy's at WillowBend Mall. I walked in picked out 2 suits, tried the first one on. It fit and looked good. I purchased it and it was half price....love that. I was back in the office at 11:45. If shopping was always like that, I'd probably do it more often.


So as part of my new singleness, I'm going to go through my closet and drawers and throw out all the clothes I don't like any more. I'm afraid I'll have nothing to wear by Monday.
