Ärende: Re: trip has ended 86
=============================
-=> Quoting Michael Loo to Nancy Backus on 02-01-13  01:55 <=-

 ML> this watch that didn't work and a bunch of chicken and
 ML> noodles in cream sauce that was extremely unsightly but
 ML> somehow managed to be better than anything I've had on a
 ML> plane before or since. Toward the end of the flight, I was
 ML> heading to the rest room and encountered a flight attendant
 ML> eagerly scarfing down a serving; I remarked that it was
 ML> better than it looked, and he agreed, saying that it was
 ML> the third one he'd scrounged (a lot of the pax were put off
 ML> by the appearance and refused the meal).

Fortunately I have a husband that gets past unsightly dishes... mine
often turn out looking a lot worse than they taste...  :)  The last
dressing/stuffing I made was very gloopy, apparently more liquid than
expected, maybe from the fresh mushrooms I added... but it tasted
fine... and looked a lot better when the leftovers were presented...

 ML> But I got the 747 and the 380 in first and two flavors of
 ML> the 777 in business, as well as 319 and 320 in business.
 ML> Regarding my loss, if I had been told up front that my
 ML> itinerary would cost 800 bucks more than I'd thought, I
 ML> would have done it anyway.

I'm glad the trip was worth it all... :)  Looking forward to the
complete travelog when it shows up.  :)
 
 NB>> Quite the tip for the driver, eh... ;0  Hopefully the cards didn't
 NB>> have any extraneous usage...?  That was a bummer, for sure.

 ML> Card still okay last I checked, and the hotel says that
 ML> it's been sent by Emergency Mail back to Maryland. It
 ML> hasn't shown up yet, and I hope that if it's not back
 ML> here when I have to leave, my brother will have the sense
 ML> to accept it and keep it safe for me.

One can hope... hopefully it will show up while you are there to receive
it, though...

 ML>> Safe is good. I am suffering the worst jetlag ever, though,
 ML>> and I'm on a totally flipped schedule.

Safe is very good...  hope the jetlag resolves soon...

 ML> Add pasta to pot and cook 8 to 10 min, or until
 ML> pasta is tender. Return chicken to pot; continue
 ML> cooking until heated through. Serve in bowls.
 ML> M's note - this is very like what we had on
 ML> the plane, only we didn't get potatoes.

Did it get served in bowls... that might have been part of the
presentation problem, it occurs to me...  ;)

 ML> M's other note - don't discard the skin, render
 ML> the fat out for another use and eat the cracklings.

But of course... :)
