Stu and I worked out everything that he needs to move to the States and what needs to head down to Mum and Dad's for 3 years. I am hoping he managed to get through some of our champagne and drink's cabinet at tonight's cocktail party!
I went to Central Market, a big supermarket inside the loop (so quite a drive for me), and what else I realised is that it is owned by HEB - where I was last night! They were having a chilli pepper event and I wanted to see what it was all about. I met up with Danny and we tried some roasted 'hatch' chillis. Apparently, hatch chillis only get harvested once a year and you get mild and hot ones. They are best served roasted, which they were doing outside the store in a big barrel. The mild ones were very mild, actually more like a standard pepper, whist the hot ones had a delayed kick, but nice heat. Slightly bizarrely, I bought three of the hatch chillis last night, but didn't realise what they were. I thought they were just regular funny shaped peppers! I also don't know whether I bought the hot or the mild ones!
I had to go and practice my golf as I am playing tomorrow morning at the same course they play the Houston Open! It is called Redstone and is north of Houston. It is certainly not cheap, but I decided since I hadn't really spent my gift from the company in the UK, this was a chance to blow it all in one go! I haven't played for a while so I am a little nervous, but apparently we get a caddie who is our ball spotter - well he is going to have his work cut out with me!
I decided to look around for a new electricity provider because I hadn't signed in to a fix contact I had no tie but my price was also variable and it has only gone up! So the thing here is there is plenty of competition, which is good for the customer. I just applied online and got an email straight back saying I had sufficient credit not to have to pay a deposit - that is good! I was slightly worried though because I couldn't find out how you notify your existing supplier. Today it all became clear, I received a letter from a third party company who do the switch and you do nothing as everything is taken care of. It sounds so straight forward, no written letters, it is great (well maybe I should reserve that comment until it is all done and I have got my deposit back from my previous supplier!).
