It's Our Saturday

We had some errands to run today, so Doug and I went to Target, got what we needed (dog food/snacks; dog shampoo, some other stuff), and then we stopped at H Mart because Doug said "why not. It's here and it's my Saturday. Let's go check it out." 

Not like we've never been to H Mart or in Massachusetts the Super 88 market. Totally been there. It's just fun to go look at giant Jackfruit, beautiful fresh fish, pick out Asian pears, and see all the miles of sauces and mystery snacks. I've been wanting to make some dumplings with my bamboo steamers, which have been sitting sad and lonely in the basement, unused since Massachusetts. Chef up some Shu Mai, or gyoza. All of what I need is right there. I'll be back. Heck, I drive past it every time I go to and from the gym. Note to self. Do it.

After H Mart, we went to the bank because Doug had birthday checks to deposit. Then to the orchard for some nice apples. I made friends with the barn cat. He enjoyed my head and ear scritches and made squinty face at me and purred. I could not be happier. 

We had to pass a nice beer store that has a tap room on the way home, so ... "why not. It's here and it's OUR Saturday." We each had two beers, watched the Caps and the Pens play hockey, and then bought some take home stuff. 

We got home and had a snack. I took my blood sugar and it was really high. We didn't have food at Quench, which was a mistake. Should have had a little something to nosh. So snack was mandatory. Then it was time for washing the dogs. They needed it, especially Dahlia. Finishing up being in heat, she deserved a spa day. Piña Colada dog shampoo and conditioner for her lovely fur. We decided to use the utility sink in the basement instead of the tub. Good call. They both fit in there pretty well but I wish we had a hose with a spray attachment or something. It would make it so much easier than dumping a plastic food container full of water on them over and over.

Toffee went first and was a champ. Then, she stood there very concerned while Dahlia had her turn. Now everyone is freshy fresh. 

I didn't feel like cooking but, dinner wasn't going to cook itself. Did that, and watched a weird Anime that looked interesting to start with but just got weirder and weirder. I lost interest. If he keeps watching tomorrow, I'll probably do something else. Meh.

Anyway. Here's the barn cat, and the digits are below.
