One of the few things I actually liked about the East Coast was experiencing all 4 seasons. Leaves would turn. The air would develop a chill. The things I notice about California falls are a lot less dramatic. The air gets a little chilly in the morning and in the evening. The sky gets overcast. The sunsets are the most dramatic differences; that blood orange red tinting the sky. Those sunsets are my favorite parts of the California fall.
Football is a good thing about fall too. haha! Didn't really care too much for the teams who played tonight though. Akilah and I met up at Red Lobster. I've been feanin' for the All-You-Can-Eat-Shrimp Fest. Mmmm. There is a strategy to eating as much shrimp as you can in my opinion. Here is what you do: limit the carbs and anything that will take up space in your stomach. Pass on those cheesey biscuits. Ditto for the mashed potatoes and bake potato. If you must have a starch, get the shrimp fetuccine as one of your options. But don't order it again afterwards, because you'll just fill up on the pasta. I rotate between the scampi shrimp and the breaded. The breaded shrimp can fill you up pretty quickly too, so be careful.
I was reminded tonight how much of a grump I get when I haven't eaten for a long time. I suspect it isn't much fun to be around. When I haven't eaten for hours and hours, patience, conversation and patience (yes I know) goes out the window. Like that night me, Tasha and Asaunta were driving back East and we waited an inordinate amount of time to stop for food. I was NOT a happy a camper. Don't talk to me, don't engage me...just lemme eat.
