OK, today has been a busy busy day for various reasons and I considered asking for an 8:30 pm deadline tonight to think of something.

And then this Hot and Sour soup from my favorite Chinese take-out started incinerating my taste buds...so we’ll do an open thread instead.

(I mean, it’s delicious as usual, to be honest...but FUH-LAMING!!!!!!)

I fall for it...EVERY TIME.

I’m too old for this.
