Cheap Lunch

There are many charming things about rural Amish country. I find it hard to think of things other than the low prices. Everything is just cheaper here! You don't really want me to list them all, do you? Another time.

For now I shall reclaim the wonder of the sign we discovered - $4.99 All You Can Eat Chinese Lunch Buffet 11:30-2 -
Was it the world's best chinese food? No. Was it all steaming hot? No. Was it everything my dreams were made out of? Not a chance. But it was good cheap Chinese and $5 for lunch? You'd pay double that anywhere else.

Didn't cook today. Unless you count the spaghetti dinner - the bro grilled sausage and immediately after eating the meal I got a bad headache that hasn't let up. Instead of just popping pills for my every pain I should track what gives me these headaches. Sure, here's the record. Ate spaghetti, sauce and sausage = got headache. March 18, 2009.

The sweet, if odd, housekeeper comes tomorrow for 8 hours. She is Amish and talking with her is a bit awkward. Plus I feel like a real tool stepping around someone doing chores I'm capable of. Oh well. Not my house, not my dime. So the Plus One and I are going to go to Hershey. If you haven't been there you should know it does actually smell like chocolate. It's awesome but I will try to keep the expectations for a day without unemployed-poor-tension-fighting, low. We tend to start bickering as soon as we plan to do anything fun. But we're on a mission. The niece/nephew needs chocolate chip cookies that can only be bought in the Chocolate World store.
