So of course he bought a Jeep this weekend. He found one online on Friday and called his BIL who works at the place and we went by Saturday night after HDT got off of work. Didn't get out of there until almost 10.
And then he does his usual indecisiveness thing and starts second guessing himself. I usually like when he does it because that means whatever it is he wants to buy doesn't get bought for awhile. So money doesn't get spent for awhile. But this time he buys and then waffles. But it's fine, it's more amusing than anything else.
Sunday I went to mom's house to visit with her and Les. She brought him home for a few hours to get him out of the nursing facility for some much needed morale boosting. Don't know how well it worked but it was good to see him. I took Poydras along since I know Les likes to see him. He sat up on the couch with him a few times for a little while. He was a good puppy as usual.
I got home basically at the same time as HDT and proceeded to make us dinner. I made the pasta ala vodka again. This time I left out the bacon. It wasn't as good as the last time I made it but it was still good. I also doubled everything and HDT was thinking it might have needed to simmer a little longer to allow the sauce to thicken more. So if I do it like that again I'll give that a try along with turning up the heat a bit more. Doing the bacon made the cook time almost double but it might be worth it to do again anyway.

Eating habit
I had soup for lunch today and it reminded me of a conversation a few of us had a couple weeks ago. I'm a very picky eater. I'm also one of THOSE PEOPLE. I don't like my food to touch. I mean Not. At. All.
If say my corn or beans touch my mashed potatoes and I can't get enough of the potatoes off of the corn or beans then I won't eat them. Whereas most people I know mix them together, well, at least they do their corn and potatoes. Not everyone does it with their beans.
If we're having steak and the juice is still bloody enough and it runs into my veggies I won't eat the veggies that it touches. Nope, won't do it, that's just too damn gross.
And as mentioned I'm a picky eater too so it's actually pretty good that I am. At least at holidays when there's so much food. Because I don't eat very many foods I don't have to worry about them being piled on top of each other like so many people do with their foods. There are times that I'll look at someones plate and almost, not quite, but almost get a little grossed out.
I had read an article in Reader's Digest last summer about a girl who was so bad with the need to keep her food separate that she actually used a different dish for each food. Now I'm not that bad. My family, mainly mom and I, joke about my need to keep my food separate. I told her she should thank her lucky stars that I didn't turn out like that chick. She just laughed and said she wouldn't have put up with it. Which, yeah, no, she wouldn't have.
But back to the soup. If the foods are cooked together such as soup, stew, Chinese food, etc. I'll eat them that way. I don't know what it is. I guess because there's usually some kind of sauce that "binds" them together. But without that sauce I couldn't do it. I could not stab a bean, potato and piece of meat individually off a plate and eat them together. Nope, just couldn't.
Oh well, it's just one of my lovable quirks I guess.

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate

So eat it
