Oscar and Loriann go everywhere together...even Boise

This weekend Oscar and I packed up the car and traveled many a mile to visit Jamie and Mikey. My friend's have all grown up and moved far away, so I decided I should buy a new car so I can travel to see them. After a few hours of driving I arrived in Boise. Oscar and I checked into our Hotel. It was super swanky... meaning it was NICE. We stayed at the Red Lion in Downtown Boise right near the river. Just as I was throwing myself on my luxurious king size bed overflowing with pillows Jamie called. Mikey was cooking Friend Rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken. That's something that really can't be passed up. So Oscar and I hurried over to Euclid Avenue (that's where they live). I was greeted by a widely grinning Evelyn who was happily laying on the couch. Oscar had to investigate this small human. He sniffed her, but then found that there was chicken cooking in the kitchen, so he moved on. Andrew and Jamie were playing outside in the car, but quickly came in to see their visitors. Andrew was happy to play with the puppy he called "Custard" That night we ate dinner, all of us together. Then Jamie and I, with a little help from Oscar, gave Andrew a bath. I forgot the importance of bathtime. It really can be the best part of the day. That night Oscar and I went back to our cozy hotel room and snuggled into our comfy bed safe and warm.

Friend Rice

This weekend I ate Friend Rice. This is much like Fried Rice, but do not confuse it. Fried Rice can be eaten anywhere at anytime with anyone. But friend rice is special. It is made with love and eaten with Friends. I ate Friend Rice with Jamie, Mikey, Andrew, Evelyn and Oscar on Friday evening. I even helped Mikey make the Friend Rice. He makes his Friend Rice with Bacon, not Ham. It was ultra delicious. Andrew shared his Friend Rice with Oscar, who was very appreciative. He had Friend Rice stuck in his beard and his eyebrows. Andrew ate his Friend Rice with a fork, and then with his fingers.
This is not the first time I have had Friend Rice. Nick and I used to eat Friend Rice at the Mongolian grill. He enjoyed it more than I. They only serve it during the lunch hour though. He would mix his friend rice with his mongolian grill concoction. I preferred to mix mine with my soup. Either way, Nick usually ended up eating both of our Friend Rice.
Friend Rice is best eaten with your closest friends. It makes you laugh much. Sometimes your Friend Rice ends up on the floor, but that is okay, as long as Oscar is around. He's good at hoovering things up off the floor. Most importantly after eating your Friend Rice, you should sit together cozily on the couch together and laugh. Or, if you are eating Friend Rice with Andrew, you will probably have to put him in the bathtub. But that's just how life goes.
