True Loves

Last night was not pleasant! Besides the wind blowing my umbrella out numerous times, it was very cold and rainy in that big-plops kind of way. be had one of his worst days ever, one in a string of bad days related to work and such. I'll spare you the details but note that Dow Thong* ran out of the noodles for the Pad Sew Ew he was craving, AND the squid for his fried calamari. Just like the maraschino cherry on a sundae!

We were wondering how many restaurants lost business last night due to the weather. Besides us, there were only 2 other sets of people at Dow Thong but they seemed to be handling some delivery orders. We also ate around 9:30PM so we probably missed the Valentine's Day dinner rush, anyways. I don't know about Manhattan, but in Queens we seemed to be the only morons trudging around in the rain with broken umbrellas.

Good food memory = Little Debbie Snacks! be had bought a $0.25 package of Nutty Bars from a bodega in the Bronx, and when i saw it we launched into a fun recollection of our favorite kinds. I've always loved: Banana Twins, Oatmeal Creme Pies, Star Crunch, Nutty Bars and Peanut Butter Crunch Bars! Things my mom bought that i didn't really like (but still ate): Zebra Cakes, Raisin Creme Pies and Fudge Brownies. It's funny how i haven't even noticed the Little Debbie section, much less given her snacks a thought in years, but now i'm about to run out and snag me some Oatmeal Creme Pies!**

*P told us "Dow Thong" means Gold Star in Thai!
**Is it perhaps, because i'm in "my thirties" now?
