Dinner: shrimp marinara with zucchini, green pepper & onion over whole wheat pasta. Nice to have a home cooked meal after living on to-go sandwiches for a day and a half.
'War Stories'
Natter Five-O: Book 'Em, Danno.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Supermarket sushi and miso soup. I was hoping the wasabi would cut through this cold.
I expect tomorrow to be... challenging.
The kids ate noodles with butter (or butter noodles, as Franny calls them). C & I ate noodles with sauteed shitakes & feta cheese.
I am impressed that Em eats lasagna. Neither of my kids likes casserole type foods yet.
Em likes everything. She is Joe's daughter for certain.
Em likes everything.
Truer words, man. My child will devour any food type thing put in front of her.
And I swear she out-eats him half the time!
My daughter is a bit of a picky eater, with a decided preference for carbs. She eats meat and fish, but only about 3 or 4 times a week. Whereas Isaac loves meat and protein, ANY meat or protein. But they both prefer food that's been prepared plainly, which isn't a problem, but can get a bit boring for me. I've finally started making sauces just for my own sake.
Did you trust the answer that he got?
I don't know, those New Bern guys are squirrelly. The guy he asked (once gain, don't know his name) seemed really anxious, but I couldn't tell if it was because his fellow townspeople were upsetting him with the hardnosed demands or because he was lying.
That's where I know Roger from. Cool. I didn't even notice that they didn't show, you are absolutely right about the "effect".
Mmm. You all eat well.
I had a tomato. Oh, and some leftover amber rice.
But did I mention the sushi I had for lunch? 'Cause yum.
A friend of mine used to munch on raw onions like they were apples.
When I was in high school, I saw The Revengers' Tragedy at the Oregon Shakespearean Festival in Ashland. It was one of the funniest non-comedies that I've ever seen, and I mean that in a good way. In the production, one of the soldiers or guards or some such (it's been a while) walked across the stage carrying a bloody head and eating a raw onion. Turns out, the walk across stage was just because the head had mistakenly been left on the wrong side. Eating the raw onion, however, was planned.
My favorite line was, "Oh Dad, dead?!" The director said that even though the play is supposed to be a tragedy, he couldn't see how that line could be played for other than laughs. That was a really fun time.
For dinner, I skipped the popcorn, despite all the wonderful talk, and had Chinese chicken salad. I've been craving veggies lately, especially lettuce.
