January 1st 2023. Feels like December 32nd to be honest so I'm hoping I have a better grasp of the new year tomorrow. Woke up early around 8:45 but dozed off for another couple hours. Big mistake since I wasn't any more awake at close to 11 than 9. Was preparing to make a turkey egg lettuce sandwich but mom was cleaning the stove so that was out of commission. Instead my uncle took me and my grandma to the city buffet for a late breakfast/lunch and I had 3 good sized plates, a cup of miso soup, some canned fruit and a couple jello, and a small vanilla cone. When I was younger I used to load up each plate but couldn't make it up to 3. Highlights included oysters, mushrooms, crawfish, and sushi. Veggie lo mein was alright too. Everything else seemed a little soft or oversauced, which isn't bad, but I did have some favorites. There's also that buffet flavor in general which I still can't put a finger on which is equal parts nostalgic and mysterious.
