This weekend was pretty busy. Aside from my virtual adventures in Vana’diel, I had some real life adventures as well. Yeay!
Saturday: After dawdling around I finally took a shower at 5 PM in order to get ready to go to Kandarp’s BBQ/birthday party. I figured being a bit late won’t matter since the last time I went there was plenty of food. I was so wrong. At least I stopped by Mitsuwa to buy Kandarp a gift (and Suggie since I thought it was her birthday as well, but it turns out I mistook a person named Sandy for Suggie. Kandarp got both presents.) and I also bought myself two rolls. Those two rolls probably saved me from being miserable and stuffing myself silly with chips. So when I finally got there, around 7 PM, all the chicken was gone, and there were no more hamburger patties. Some shrimp were pulled out and was stuck on the grill, but the propane ran out of gas. >_<; Someone was suckered into getting more food and propane (not me!). I ended up talking with a coworker about how charcoal barbecue tastes so much better than propane or gas and a crazy idea fermented in my head… What is the crazy idea? Well, to get a charcoal BBQ grill and grill the Costco chicken that Kandarp serves at home. Yes, amazing.
Okay, it’s not that crazy. Until you factor in 9 pieces of chicken and 1 Erika to eat it all. >_<;;
Sunday (earlier today): I dragged my good friend Franklin out on my crazy idea adventure (every hero/villian needs a side kick!). After lunch, we stopped by Home Depot to pick up a small BBQ grill and some plastic planters. I needed to buy more filters for my fish tank so we went to Petco and I saw the adorable rabbits from the Petsave foundation. The little guys I cleaned after. So cute! (Rabbits = sidetracked) Anyway, after that I still needed a charcoal starter since Home Depot was lacking them and Lowe’s we went. There were plenty there. Finally, we were able to go to Costco to buy the chicken. Ahh, chicken. So many pieces of chicken. More than I can possibly eat in a week by myself. >_<;
So once I got everything home, I went to the mall to buy make up. >.>; So I chucked my old ones because they were almost a year old! YUCK!
Back to my weekend adventure story! So now I’m back home, setting everything up, I needed scissors and a screw driver and my small charcoal grill was set. The charcoal starter worked wonderfully, although it took me a bit to get it started. I might have stuffed too much newspapers in the bottom. ^^; When the coals looked “ashy” I opened up the chicken breast package and cooked 3 at a time, 9 minutes on each side. I called up Franklin, but he didn’t want to come over because his mom was making him dinner. I managed to get a hold of Laura finally so I invited Laura and Steven over to eat my food. I think we all agreed that the lemon herb chicken was the best. We also opened up the yuzu sake drink from my cousin and drank half the bottle. I also mixed a special drink, maybe even a new combination! It’s some sort of Italian liqueur with Calpis and water. It’s delicious actually. I should name it and claim it as mine before anyone else does. Haha… >.>; Anyway, I ended up with 4 chickens left, so I gave 2 to Laura and Steven to take home and 2 for me to eat over the week.
Now I am really tired and it’s already past 1 am. Eek! >_<;
