Today was another nonworking social day. First was a showdown at the Borders at high noon with Black Cake. We went to PetSmart, then to McKay's, a used bookstore, where I sold all the books cleared out from my mom's bookshelves. We had lunch at the glamorous Olive Garden, then on to World Harvest and Cook's Corner. I'm in search of a salt pig that I found several months ago at Cook's Corner. It's nice: bamboo, with a magnetic swivel lid. I bid farewell to Black Cake and rushed to my next social engagement, dinner with two high school friends. I don't know their gourmand names. One has a seven-year-old daughter who is the smartest kid I know, and funny too. After my late afternoon feast at the Olive Garden, I wasn't hungry, but it was nice to catch up. After dinner, I had a message from Blue Grilled Cheese, who was finishing dinner at a restaurant across the street. I met her there and we went back to McKay's in Knoxville to trade in some books from BGC's classroom. We decided that someday we'll open a bakery together. It can be an add-on to the barbecue restaurant Black Cake and I are going to open. It'll be in the Middle East, specialize in barbecued goat and camel, and be called Abdulicious.
