Today was Kitchen Move-In Day. Yesterday, Linda and Dave showed up, even though I’m sure they’re grieving the loss of their grandchild. Still, they came to work, and all I can assume is that work makes for solace in this situation.
So Linda and I packed the kitchen at the old house and moved the boxes to the new. Then we unpacked everything and put it away. This is huge. It means our kitchen is set up, and we can begin to function. We can actually get off the intravenous feeding known as fast food and begin to eat like normal, health-conscious human beings. Well, at least one of us can.
At the end of the day, I suspect Dave and Linda went home to healthy food, while Earl and I stopped at Applebee’s because we’re still living between this and that. Our pots and pans are at the new house, while our appetites are still at the old one. And the spray can of Pam® is nowhere in sight.
He ordered a Reuben while I chose tilapia with rice and broccoli. I must admit the tilapia was delicious, but I must also admit the bite I took of Earl’s Reuben was equally delicious. Which probably goes to show that Applebee’s can please a variety of culinary palettes, even if it’s described as ‘bar food’.
