There were some good things today:
1. My replacement phone arrived from Verizon. It is of sufficient vintage that the activation and data transfer instructions included in the box are inapplicable. (This is a point in its favor. I need it to handle calls and text messages. The fact that my old phone could take blurry little pictures was endearing, but not a life requirement. Anything else is just complicating matters.) I will bring it in to the Verizon store tomorrow.
2. I have a doctor's appointment set for tomorrow. Better if it had been today, but right now I am taking what I can get.
3. At dinner tonight, I ate zaru soba correctly by instinct. All the while I was dipping the noodles and nori into the little flask of sauce, I worried that I was doing it wrong and looking gauche (I said to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derspatchel "like a person dunking their mac and cheese in beer," at which point he told me not to give hipster restaurant culture any ideas), I just couldn't figure out any other way to eat them. The internet tells me I did the right thing and wasn't even indelicate in wishing I could drink the sauce afterward. I feel weirdly accomplished. On reflection I'm wondering if I got the idea from A Tale of Time City's cornpone with malty soy.
4. Before dinner, we visited kittens. We are hoping to adopt. It's not a certainty. Wish us luck!
5. I can find a lot of Daisy Chainsaw by Googling.
Question for the wider internet!
Can anyone recommend a restaurant for tempeh in this city? It's not on Grasshopper's menu and I've been warned against True Bistro. (I have also given up on the Tamp at Diesel, as I ordered it three times last summer and three times in a row they made it wrong. I don't even know how that happens.) It's a foodstuff I like very much and I don't know where to find it (a) in Boston (b) that won't congratulate me on being holistic to myself. Even Life Alive doesn't seem to offer it on their regular menu and they're the place that puts raw lentils in their hummus. Blue Shirt just has tofu and depressing music.
