How tenderly the melody keeps me hanging on

I had not expected to be shot in the shoulder this afternoon, but since I was right there with [personal profile] spatch for his latest jab against COVID-19, the staff of the Theatre Pharmacy offered me the same and I filled out the paperwork immediately. I had not brought my vaccine card, but was kindly sent home with a little sticker to keep my records up to date. The ability to purchase and eat a caramel bull's-eye after a minor medical procedure feels very old-school. My mother fed us tom kha gai and chicken satay and massaman curry and khao tom mad for antibody-building sustenance and Rob took a picture of me with his eyes closed. My plan for the rest of the evening is to lie on the couch and wait for my arm to fall off.

Oooooh interesting! I don't believe we have those here; maybe they're a regional thing. I was envisioning some cross between lollipop and larger spiraled caramel nut confection. The name caramel cream sounds like an echo of the Commonwealth, a la custard cream and similar.

I should not be writing about these things while hungry. Doubly so while the apartment begins to smell delightfully of simmering curry spices. Whoops. :P
