foodie wednesdays, 8.9.23

i brought a tv dinner to lunch today, then when i go into lab, one of the coworkers says they are giving free lunch away in the courtyard. i walk down to look at the poster, and sure enough, they are. i got a hot dog with sour cream & onion chips. then i went back for a burger and the guy cooked one fresh for me. it’s nice when they have events like this because we can take an extra-long lunch, and it’s fun to socialize. i got a free reusable straw as well. i didn’t see until it was almost done, but they were doing free caricatures! i wish i would’ve known earlier, i definitely would’ve pulled up and got one. they were nice caricatures, too, not the ones where they make fun of you. when i got home, i walked btg then fed him. i drove to worcester for dinner downtown at a place called oishi. during dinner, i figured out the roll i like is called a dragon roll. i also got the teriyaki chicken and it was so good. even better because they had the yum yum sauce as well. most places here don’t have the white sauce, so you know i had to do it up one time for the one time when the waitress told me they had it. for dessert, i went to dq to get an oreo blizzard. there was a high school girls’ team there, so i stood in line for a few minutes waiting to order. as i’m standing in line, the dq worker peeps over the window and asks this kid (sitting alone) where his parents are. he said they were in the bathroom. i noticed the kid for a while sitting in solitude and thought to myself where his parents were but didn’t think to act on it. the dq cashier must’ve been either late teens or early twenties. i thought it was dope he did that, because most people would mind their business, but at a certain point, you gotta step in and make the right decision. so shout out to him. regardless, what a great food day for a wednesday.

almost makes the rest of the week not that bad.
