Beef Medallions, Portabella Mushrooms, Garlic Mashed Potatoes
It seemed like a good idea at the time, yesterday, when I scheduled an appointment for my car at the Audi dealership for 07.30. My car was making a noise that I would not describe as being comforting. When my cell phone started blaring "Fluid" at 06.15, I couldn't remember why this was such a good idea - to get the car into the shop early. Ultimately, the dealership lent me a very shiny 2006 Audi A4 Quattro and sent me home while they got to work on my not-nearly-as-shiny [1] 1998 Audi A4 Quattro. What a difference eight years makes. How am I supposed to maintain contenedness with such temptation? Sigh. It's so beautiful. The loaner courtesy car doesn't have the funky European plates, but that's okay.

I'm going out to Maggiano's this evening. The Medallions of Beef was so freakin' good last time ... to stick with what I know to be good or venture to something else. Such are the trials and decisions I must face.
Sweet ... check it out ... they have the menu online.
Beef Medallions, Portabella Mushrooms, Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Medallions of beef served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and a portabella mushroom sauce.
Is it time to leave yet?! Only another ten hours. Uggh. I think I'll starve myself and go to the gym.
Update: Five and a half hours to go. Gold's Gym played Hillary Duff, Britney Spears, The B-52's and something called A Flock of Seagulls, which looked to be very much from the 80's, and featured many, many mirrors. Such music is why I avoid the gym during the day.
I'm glad that I wasn't really cognizant of my surroundings during the 80's. Click on the image for a "better" view of the B-52's.

A stupid hornet just flew in through my window. I shut the door so that it wouldn't escape into the rest of the house. Now it is smushed on the floor. The hornet, that is. The hornet pictured to the right has considerably fewer shoe wounds than the one on my bedroom floor. However, my camera battery is dead and the charger cable thing is in storage, so you'll have to use your imagination.
There was once a "bee problem" when I had a basement computer room. These bees seemingly came from nowhere, and did so in great quantities. Day by day I'd smash them and add them to the pile on my desk as a warning to the other bees. They were very slow to learn.
Update: Another hornet just flew in. I put him next to the first one. Time to close the window.

[1] The not-so-shiny nature of my car might be due in part to my aversion to washing it, although this is only speculation.
