Gnocchi @ Mercato

We had a nice family dinner at a nice Italian restaurant last month for dad's birthday. 

We ordered a number of different entrées to share since their portions are notoriously large. One of the dishes we ordered was their famous gnocchi recipe and a few other pasta dishes. 

Our server brought a plate of regular spaghetti in tomato sauce to our table along with other dishes. I questioned in my head, that doesn't look like gnocchi... Oh  well, enjoy our dinner.

Beebee grabs some spaghetti and places it into his plate. He starts to eat bites of the pasta...

"Yummy, this gnocchi is good!"

"But.. that is just spaghetti! fettucini"

I guess we will buy regular fettucini for future gnocchi cravings Beebee has..

VIP Status

Beebee found a super good deal on Newegg.ca the other day for a SSD. We had been looking for a hard drive to replace my old one for the last few weeks. It turns out that this was such a good deal we just could not miss out.

Beebee told me to wait until he redeems some points for VIP member status then begin the purchase. I listened and waited.... The more I waited, the more I thought to myself... what is with the VIP member status? I looked it up on their website and Google'ed and Bing'ed. No matter how hard I searched for VIP status I could not find it.

I messaged Beebee on MSN and complained that I could not see the VIP status, why is it taking so long on our account details? He said, just log on and click on Account Details again... Okay.

I waited for another ten minutes.

"Beebee, I still can't find the confirmation of VIP status with Newegg."
"It's NCIX! geez"
"But the hard drive is on Newegg.... why are you on NCIX?"
...
"The hard drive is on Newegg? oops and I wasted 1 cent on PayPal and redeemed all the points."
