I also bought lunchmeat last night so I could make sandwiches at work, but I didn't have time to grab it out of the fridge as I was running out the door. I guess I'll go to Subway again.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Happy lunch, everyone. I'm thinking about dinner.
...which will most likely be mac and cheese, because my three friends and I went all out an spent an exorbitant £91 at Lush in Covent Garden today. It is obscene how much money we spent. The thing is, they're having this sale thingie where if you buy £15 worth of items, you get one thing from 2004 free. That's *anything,* including the really expensive stuff. So we got a full-sized tea tree oil spray, ginger lotion, karma lotion, narcotick, the coal face wash, and Veganese. (This is after two of my friends, A and P, spent a combined £30 just yesterday for free stuff.) Let it never be said that we aren't sensualists.
While we won't be eating out for the remainder of the week that we are here, we shall at least smell lovely and have stunning hair and skin. Mostly, we're trying very hard not to think of how much money that is in American dollars. Think double.
I might even have picked something up for a certain someone back at home...but she doesn't get to know what it is, nyah!
I am evil.
On the nearby desk of someone who doesn't come in very often is an open CD binder. I glanced down at it a few days ago to look at the CDs, because I like the various designs creative record labels use.
She has "Once More With Feeling." So, I thought, I should ask to borrow it. But she's never here when I'm here. So, I thought, I should just snitch it and copy it. No, that would wrong--wouldn't it? She'd never know, it's not like I'd play frisbee with it, and when I'm flush with money I'll get my own copy so I can have the liner notes. And I don't even need to flip the pages of the binder, it's right there on top. No, I said sternly, still wrong. Ask before borrowing and copying.
But I'm evil. I grabbed it, copied it, and returned it within 5 minutes. Now I'm trying to tell myself that it's evil to copy it onto my thumbdrive to take home. The RIAA hates me. Does buying all the Angel DVDs mitigate against yo-ho-ing a CD?
Matar PaneerTeppy, I've always wanted to ask--what is this?
Cashmere, Owen is too cute to be street legal.
so I need to try the hospital
Oh dear, we've Americanized him, he used the article.
Teppy, I've always wanted to ask--what is this?
Not Teppy, but paneer is this kind of cottage cheese-based cube, and the matar is peas. So it's peas and cheese in a curry sauce.
Thanks, P-C. I always figured Paneer was a bread product, so I guess I was pretty wrong, there.
Yeah, paneer figures in a lot of Indian dishes. There's saag paneer (paneer in spinach), paneer makhani (paneer in a tomato sauce), paneer Manchurian (paneer in a...okay, that's more Chinese than Indian), etc. It's pretty good, a little spongey consistency. Almost like tofu, and it kind of has the same role: it's like a meat substitute, giving you something of substance to chew on in the midst of all those vegetables.
Oh, and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with your confusion, but pav is bread, as in pav bhaji.

Ah! I'd had this once before and loved it, but I couldn't remember what it was called.
saag paneer is my favorite.
For lunch, I ate leftover chicken, brocolli, and penne, that we made last night from a receipe in Cook's Illustrated. It's amazing how much better it tastes leftover. Now I am sad I didn't bogart all the leftovers. Yum!
I also went swimming- 42 laps, yay! Hoping to get back into an exercise groove. I decided I'd hit the pool because I figured on a day like today, not many people would be there. I was right!
FTR, we are now Cooks Illustrated's bitches.
