Chinese New Year comes on Monday


My mom's friend Raymond told mom that the Chinese New Year comes on Monday. This is also a message directed at Lew. First Choice in Ocoee, Florida has given free Chinese New Year calendars away in the past, so if you want a free New Year's calendar, Chinese food should be your cuisine on Monday. There are a couple of Chinese restaurants in New Smyrna Beach. The one closest to me is a take out, but they don't give away free calendars. The other one is a buffet which is OK, but not outstanding. Next weekend will be the five dollar spaghetti meal either for lunch or dinner served between 12 in the afternoon and 6 in the evening at the local High School. They also have take out which we got one year. I thought it was pretty good. I hope to at least get take out this year. This morning is trash day and the weather should be below freezing. This means super cold weather. I finished my cup of coffee too early. I hope we didn't suffer too much damage with the plants, but we will find out the results later in the day. It is nice to be in a warm house with the central heat blowing. Last night, I was entertained by a couple of episodes of "Becker." I love the show "Becker" because Ted Danson is so earthy in his attitudes. He is like the Archie Bunker of the doctor world. I also like the show "Mash" when I can see it. The show "Scrubs" is a little too outrageous for me. The show "House " is good, but too serious. I still have last year's Chinese calendar hanging on the wall. There were pandas on it. I wonder if this year there will be ox on the new calendar?

    I thought that the best part of the show Mash was the theme music at the beginning of the show. It was composed by Mike Post who did a lot of tv shows themes.
    All you can eat Italian. Reminds me of Cicci's because they also have pasta in addition to the great variety of pizzas. I also like their salad with the ranch dressing. And I always end my meal with the dessert pizza that has apple crumb on it so it tastes like apple pie. Mary and I go there frequently. Last night we went to Quizno's for a prime rib steak sandwich. It was good.
    We had hot chocolate this afternoon and Mary put some extra marshmellows into mine. It was good but it was so hot so I put some additional cold marshmellows into my hot chocolate to help cool it. It worked real fine plus made the hot chocolate taste even better.
    Thanks for telling me about the free Chinese calendar. I will be there on Monday waiting for them to open. Well, "waiting for them to open" is a bit of an exagerration but I will try to get one. Take care and have a good evening. Lew
