The Trial Begins...

Today was a very productive day. I forgot I had plans with Bria today, so when she called me I thought..."oh shit". I was going to go to the park with Kim and them but Bria and I made plans last week...and I'm glad because I had some crazy experiences!!

So we're sitting at Bria's house deciding what to do...We were thinking about going to see Hot Tub Time Machine but the movie didn't start until 5:40 and it was only 3. So I was telling her about my blogs and how I'd like to find someone to date but I don't really have any interests, and that's when I mentioned the River Market and that other stuff (If you've been keeping up you will know what I'm talking about) We were thinking about hitting up World's Of Fun, but decided that's a little too expensive and today was opening day...prob would've been pretty busy. So we drove downtown to the River Market and shopped around. I have never been down there, didn't quite know what to expect, but it was really awesome! There was all sorts of stuff and it was CHEAP! Kim if you're reading this, I got a bag of pumpkin seeds for 80 cents! What a bargain! Most of the shops were already closed because it was pretty late in the afternoon, but we walked around and bought some stuff here and there. I bought freshly made pita bread...omg...YUM! It's great!

There's a giant Asian Market down there across from River Market and Bria really wanted to go in there. She's kinda weird like that and not really afraid of anything new...we walked in an immediately started holding our breath! It smelt like raw fish! Luckily my nose is all fucked up so I really couldn't smell it all that bad...but boy could I taste it when I breathed in! So all the labels were in Vietnemese...or something like that, so I really had no idea what anything was. Bria was picking stuff up here and there and trying to explain it to me. On the side of the Market there is the "chop shop" where they have live fish, crabs, and crawdads that you can buy. There's also a guy behind the counter with a huge knife chopping away at fish! Pretty neat. They had the weirdest stuff tho...like chicken's feet (which still had the toenails), pig's blood, duck feet, the whole shin and foot of a cow, and all kinds of other random stuff. I have no idea what size of pot you would cook a cow foot in, or for what purpose, but whatever! Bria ended up buying some stuff and away we went!

We wanted to go to Whole Foods to buy meat for our dinner we were going to make, so I told her to go to Westport because there's a Whole Foods store down there. So we're driving through downtown KC trying to get to Westport...when we're about a block away I said "Oh wait, it's World Market not Whole Foods. That's the same thing though right?" Bria started laughing...I'm not one who shops at these places!! I had no clue! We ended up stopping at World Market just so we could look around. I had no idea it was like Pier 1. I loved it! They had some pretty awesome stuff there. I loved their dishes too! So when we were done there we drove to Whole Foods and got some groceries.

At Bria's house we decided to start cooking dinner. We made sweet potato chips from the sweet potatoes we bought at the River Market. Italian sausage with cheese on pita bread (sandwiches) and something else...I forgot what it's called! It tasted just like rice but it was little beads of different colors...I think it's an Asian dish...damn it! I can't remember! Anyway, dinner was awesome!

So I experienced some new things today and learned how to cook a few new things as well. I'd say it was a very productive day!

So the trial...I'm trying out that Acai Optimum diet that everyone is talking about. Got my pills in the mail today. The colon cleanse sounds a little scary. I'm going to start the Acai tomorrow but I just popped a cleanser about 20 mins ago. I'm a little scared what might happen! lol! But hey, I'll be home all night and probably going to hit the sack early...so it's all going to be ok! No one has to hear it but the kids! :)
