Hi gang! Yesterday all I kept thinking about were chips.<\/p>\n

\"Chips<\/p>\n

Why not have a few?\u00a0 I pulled out some salt&vinegar baked chips from the pantry and had a party.\u00a0 YUM!<\/p>\n

Last night Scott and I made a snap decision to head over to Hunan Lion for Chinese food.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

Yeah, the menus are HUGE!\u00a0 But they are glorious so I don’t mind.\u00a0 My eating habits and preferences have changed a bit since the last time we were out for Chinese and I was curious to see what I would be able to get.<\/p>\n

\"Sapporo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Scott started off the evening with a Sapporo that I had a few sips of but not many because I didn’t really care for it.\u00a0 Too light of a beer for this chick.<\/p>\n

We got appetizers, Thai shrimp dumplings with a sweet spicy chili sauce.<\/p>\n

\"Thai<\/a>\"Thai<\/a><\/p>\n

I had three of these bad boys because they were freaking amazing.\u00a0 I loved them!\u00a0 They were light and slightly crispy and the sauce was a perfect combination of spicy and sweet.\u00a0 So good!<\/p>\n

Scott got Kung Po Shrimp and scallops.<\/p>\n

\"Kung<\/a><\/p>\n

I was sad to see that there were no veggies with his meal!\u00a0 Wha?!!\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 But he was loaded up on shrimp and scallops.\u00a0 I was proud of him when he said, “Oh, I should have gotten brown rice instead.”\u00a0 Awww\u00a0 I think he was especially jealous because he only got a little bowl of rice while I got a huge honkin’ plate of brown rice.\u00a0 The boy is powered by rice so he kept eyeing up my plate.\u00a0 I finally let him have some.<\/p>\n

My main meal was Schezuan seafood with extra veggies with the previously mentioned brown rice.<\/p>\n

\"Spicy<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks yummy, yes?\u00a0 It was pretty good but very spicy for me!\u00a0 I was chugging the water like crazy but that’s okay but Hunan Lion has a guy who’s job is to walk around filling up water glasses and he does a fantastic job.\u00a0 I was never out of water!\u00a0 However I did have two incidents of the ice in my glass getting stuck and then becoming unstuck while I was drinking.\u00a0 Klassy! Thankfully no water made it to my shirt, only all over my face.<\/p>\n

My extra veggies weren’t so extra so I was a little disappointed about that.\u00a0 Basically what I look for in a dinner is a gigantic amount of veg and a small amount of protein which I’m assuming is opposite of normal.\u00a0 I had two small spoonfuls of rice with my meal probably not even 1\/2 a cup of rice total.\u00a0 I brought a lot home.<\/p>\n

\"Me\"<\/a>\"Me\"<\/a>A in action, look out!\u00a0 I was hungry and not waiting around before digging in.<\/p>\n

I ate till I was content and I stopped at the perfect time.\u00a0 The spicy bean sauce was getting a little funny tasting towards the end and I didn’t care for how that tasted.\u00a0 I picked out a few veggies (a carrot) but stopped because I didn’t want it and the taste was off.\u00a0 We packed up the leftovers and I passed on the fortune cookie because it had partially hydrogenated oil in it.\u00a0 Ew.<\/p>\n

After dinner we made a quick run to TJ Maxx but didn’t stay long because I had to PEE and there are not restrooms there.\u00a0 I did snag some cuties though.<\/p>\n

\"Owl<\/a><\/p>\n

Looky!\u00a0 We love owls so I was jumping all over these dishes!\u00a0 And I totally dig on the 70s style colors too.\u00a0 They are probably meant for fall because they already had their fall stuff out.\u00a0 But whatevs, I’m using them all year long!<\/p>\n

When we got home, we walked Rocky quick and then I went right up to bed.\u00a0 I talked with Scott for a while and then I was alseep by 10:30.\u00a0 Rock on Friday Night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
