terribly early in the morning

A Tiny Bit of Goodness in my Life

A few blocks away, we’re getting an Einstein Bros. bagel place.  Yay!  No longer do we have to choose between the one grocery store that has the better bagels, but sometimes the sesame seeds are bad, which ruins the whole bagel or the grocery store that has the more bready bagels, but no problems with bad seeds.  Lately we’ve been solving that problem with frozen Lender’s bagels, which are actually darned good.  Perfect in the toaster - sorta hard on the outside, but soft on the inside.  It’s also nice that when you buy them, you don’t have to eat them up right away, because they’re happily resting in the freezer.  But anyway, Einstein’s has LOTS of flavors.

Even closer, we’re getting a Momotaro Sushi & a Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza.  To most of you, it wouldn’t be that exciting, but for a long time we’ve lived in the boonies of Las Vegas.  We’re now getting caught up to other parts of the city.  Now, what we really need is a bookstore.  We need one badly.  Sure, we’re getting the gigantic Great Mall of Las Vegas just down the street, but they haven’t even started construction.  So the soonest we’d be able to browse through books & mags would be 2009.

And, for food I can have at home…I found the best salad dressing ever.  I love Chinese Chicken Salads, but I hate ginger.  A lot of the dressings for those are made with icky icky ginger, which ruins the whole salad for me.  Now I can use Tresso Miso Sesame dressing and all is right with the world.

Now, for something you can enjoy.  “30 Rock” was renewed.  While the very first episode was kind of iffy, each show after that was fabulous.  I was so worried that it would be cancelled because you, my friends, were not all watching it.  Watch it!  I promise that you’ll love every episode, except the first one.  No promises there.  Alec Baldwin is amazing.  Tina Fey is fabulous.  Please help make sure that it will have a third season.
