I love living in the country. I couldn't move back to the city now. I've become too accustomed to the quiet, the dirt roads, the space, the abundant wildlife, and the ability to take a shower with the bathroom blinds wide open.
But there are a few things I miss about the city. I miss being able to walk to the grocery store or the dry cleaners or the post office. I miss the fantastic people-watching from my Uptown (Minneapolis) apartment front porch. And I miss Chinese take-out.
I would sell my vote to the next Democratic presidential candidate if she could get a good Chinese restaurant to open up within 20 miles of The Outpost.
Saturday night The VP and I made the haul into the Cities for Chinese food. We ate at a small restaurant in a quiet strip mall. Great meal. By the time the fortune cookies arrived, I wanted to smoke a cigarette. Next time, we're going to go back on the buffet night and I'll be bringing a cooler.
And a pack of Camels.

Does that come with eggroll?

Posted by: Cathy at March 15, 2005 02:00 PMThat's one of the reasons I can't leave the city. I'd miss the sushi and Indian. Besides, where else can you choose between three brunch places all within a one block radius? And I'd miss being able to walk to trivia.
(Good meeting you last week.)
