I tried something new today, Mongolian Barbeque. I figure it is always good to try new things, some things can be really challenging and push me outside my comfort zone, but I am always on board with trying new food. It was fun being able to just pick and choose exactly what you wanted in your dish (Mushrooms? yes! Broccoli? No!), and then watch them cook it up right in front of you. I should probably have left out the jalapeño though; I love a good spicy kick, but this kick was a bit on the strong side. I am also ashamed to report I abandoned my chopsticks in favor of a fork. I consider myself pretty good at multitasking, but for some reason using chopsticks and making conversations have proven to be a very big challenge.
Back on the home front, the big four trunked oak outside my deck is slotted to go tomorrow morning. The big crane arrives at eight and I plan on having my camera at the ready to document this big event. In some ways I am sad whenever I see big trees come down, but I am also looking forward to having the view from the deck open up, the house being less shady in the winter, and all the great firewood it will provide for a long time to come.
Losing the tree will be bittersweet, but in addition to learning new things we have to say goodbye to some old things as well. C'est la vie!
