Embassy closed at 2:00, but I didn't go to work today anyway. Mal and I went to pick the DH up and play with the embassy dog ("Stavros"), and then lunch - homemade lasagna.

Coming up, four days off. I've been at work one day in the last two weeks, I think.

Isn't gandules peas?

In this case it was buttery yellow rice with little black beans, probably yellow tomato shards and slices of green pepper.

I would have loved a suitcase escalator at the train station (Ogilvie Transportation Center. . . or as I still remember it the CNW Station) - I and my heavy suitcase stood at the top of the escalator and I could not make myself get on it.

I stepped away and looked at the stairs: no. way.

Finally, I put the suitcase on the escalator by itself and followed a couple of steps behind.

In this case it was buttery yellow rice with little black beans, probably yellow tomato shards and slices of green pepper.

Curious.

I am so excited to go shopping for hosiery for me and my grandmother, and then to Trader Joe's for cheese and crackers, I can't even tell you.

We're having kebobs and rice and hummus today. Mmmmm. Love free lunch.

Free lunches are the best.

I think gandules are pidgeon peas, aren't they? Maybe the rice was just considered assumed.

Free lunches are the best.

I thought there was no such thing....

Hmmm....
