paneer is this kind of cottage cheese-based cube, and the matar is peas. So it's peas and cheese in a curry sauce.

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.)

ARGH- the house that I was so excited that was on the market (I only found out about it yesterday, and started houdning the realtor immediately) had a bidding war after the first day of showings, and is under agreement. I guess it was not meant to be. I *knew* that house was too cheap to last!

I am bummed out though. I felt really confident about exploring options to acquire the house. Wah!

you might as well revel in your (not quite) evilitude.

Hah! Not a sucky soundtrack, either. Arr. The bits from Restless and Hush are cool.

Oh, and, Polter? You can note my tags anytime you want, fella.

connie has a new tag!

what's for lunch seems to be the question of the hour. i'm so sick of fast food and the like that i can never think of anything. i know i want some yummy sweet tea and Sonic has the best of that, but i had the food for dinner last night.

maybe i'll just go get a burger from somewhere.

also? my lips are on FIRE!! i forgot my normal chapstick this morning so i have reverted back to Sephora's Lip Venom. this stuff really does require you to have some kind of masochist gene in your body.

i forgot my normal chapstick this morning

This is why I have chapstick (or some other non-burny lip balm) stashed every place I could possibly need it. Purse, car, desk at work, bedside table, bathroom, pocket of 2 different coats.

One must always be prepared for a chapping emergency.

my lips are on FIRE!!

I was surprised to find that Burt's Bees is like that -- it's like a mentholated cigarette for your lips. Very weird.

I also have chapstick everywhere I can think of -- in my desk drawer, in my nighttable drawer, in my purse... I hate chapping emergencies.
