Tuesday was filled with the generosity of others for me.


Yesterday as I was leaving work they gave me a turkey. An entire, fresh, whole Butterball turkey. For reasons I cannot explain this made me very giddy and excited to have it. I drove home and popped it straight into the fridge to decide what to do with it - freeze, cook soon, or give away - later, as I had plans to go out with my neighbor for sushi as a belated birthday celebration (his). Got down Buford Hwy. and found out Sat Su Ki was closed. I haven't been out in awhile. But Buford Hwy is full of good eats so we just drove down a bit further and found an Ethiopian restaurant in the next mall. It was sitting next to a Bangladeshi (sp?) restaurant that I never knew existed. The Good Neighbor had never eaten Ethiopian food so we decided on that. Good meal. He loved the spices and the injira bread. We decide to try the Bangladesh restaurant next time we're both able to go out. I told him about the Buford Hwy. restaurant crawl that R & M used to do years ago and we decided to start our own Buford Hwy. eats tour. Should be an adventure. I'm glad to find someone willing to experiment with new places - not just white tablecloths but hole-in-the-wall dives and Mom & Pop spots as well.


The turkey has gone to feed the Grateful Gluttons household which makes me happy as often as they feed me and everyone else.
