So, David’s has discontinued their breakfast special, but it still cost about a dollar less than many other breakfast restaurants.
I stopped by a health foods store, and then drove to Farmer. Yep, not much there. I then rode past the NC Aviation Museum and came back to Food Lion to buy some Apple Cider Vinegar and Splenda sweetener packets. The Ginger/Lemon/Honey drinking vinegar I bought just wasn’t vinegary enough, nor sweet enough. Then I headed up to Replacements, Ltd. to see if I could find the young woman who had given me a great deal of her time, my first (and only up to this point) visit. She left before I bought the Lennon Golden Julliard patterned seafood fork, so any commission she should have received was lost. In our brief visit, I got the impression that the young woman was divorced and that she had at least one child. But, she wasn’t there yesterday, even if she still works there.
I then drove directly back to Asheboro to No.1 Chinese Buffet and had lunch there. My first plate I focused on the chicken on a stick, the green beans and the wonton & egg drop soups mixed, with chopped green onion and fried wontons. And, I think I also had a small slice of banana, very little rice and some fried chicken livers. The livers had chopped jalapenos. One dish, maybe chicken had fried jalapenos, and the livers had fresh chopped jalapenos.
As I was paying at the counter, there was an older Chinese gentleman (perhaps the owner) and I got to thanking him for the good good, which I mentioned specifically: chicken on a stick, the green beans and the wonton soup. He thanked me, and we actually shook hands.
I then drove over to the Library. I had a strong desire to just drive home, but thought it would be a waste not to at least stop in to see what new things they had.
I took the slightly longer way back to Fayetteville, staying on Hwy. 421 from Sanford over to Lillington and then back down home. I did this because of the lateness of the day and that I knew there would be a bunch of traffic on Hwy. 87 around Spring Lake.
About four miles from Siler City, on Hwy. 64, they are furiously building the Wolfspeed manufacturing facility. They were paving some roads nearby but still working on the gigantic facility. The size of this complex is massive and impressive.
I stopped at the Food Lion in Lillington to buy 2% Milk and then headed home.
I made almost a quart of the Ginger/Lemon/Honey Vinegar, but instead of honey I used a combination of Splenda, Agave Nectar and Sweet n Low, and I used ground powdered ginger and reconstituted Lime juice. Still, it came out tasting surprisingly similar to the “store bought.” Oh, just thought, I used both Apple Cider Vinegar and Red Wine Vinegar. I like the flavor of Red Wine Vinegar and use it a lot in my cooking & eating. And for portions, I used two part of the Apple Cider Vinegar, about .25 Cup of Red Wine Vinegar and 1 Cup of water.
