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 Paneer

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.

Connie, you are not evil, and I'm sure you'll buy it when you have the cash. Until then, you might as well revel in your (not quite) evilitude.

Timelies. I had PT this morning. I learned new exercises and was praised for my ability to do butterfly arms. It was sadly heartwarming to be praised for something so simple.

I am paneer's bitch. It's the niftiest cheese EVAH.

Also, Cindy, maybe you were thinking "paneer" = bread b/c of Panera Bread Co.

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!

SA, if it's me, and you got me B Never shower gel, I would kiss you kiss you kiss you. (And yet, with the dollar being worth, oh, NOTHING in Britain, do NOT feel compelled to support the British pound to get me anything, b/c I have issues with paying almost double when you don't have to.)
