You serve him what you have, and if he gets all beer snob on you, you tell him, "Bring your own if you're that picky, dude".

Naw, he's not picky. I just like giving people what they like.
Perfect, Nora, thank you.

Connie, lots of markets sell Indian sauces now in the international aisle if you wanted to just add the meat and/or veg. I think our Trader Joes has both frozen and fresh naan; I've never tried either. Indian food is one of the few post-pregnancy cravings I haven't been able to have yet. I must fix that soon.

It's okay. Not like the real thing, but not bad.

I am back from my trip. It was all too short, packed with so much, and a great time. I arrived home yesterday, but I was a jetlagged zombie after 10 hours of travelling.
Highlights were definitely seeing The Oresteia on the West End. Hamlet was okay...Cumberbatch was great, the set was amazing, but the play had some holes. The Bakkhai, despite having Ben Whishaw and Bertie Carvel was NOT GOOD. I also loved going to Hampstead Heath and Keats House, The Wallace Collection, getting to see a Downton Abbey preview of the first ep, plus a q & a with Lady Edith, Isobel, the costume designer and one of the producers.
And Dublin remains my happy place. Also, I touched a mummy's finger! It was so weird.

That all sounds amazing, Sue! Yay!

I think I am out of steam. Also, my fantasies about how much I would be able to accomplish with these days off were highly delusional. I don't think I actually finished any one thing that I wanted to get done. Did make considerable progress, even if it is only apparent to me. I expect I will be too tired to do anything tomorrow after work, because work after being off for almost a week is pretty much guaranteed to be exhausting, but I hope I can get more shit done over the weekend (which is gratifyingly soon). For now, I'm gonna try to do one seriously tiny bit of mending while I watch TV, maybe fold the towels when they are done drying, and that's it.
Oh crap, I think I am too tired to go to an event I signed up for that has free massages and champagne. Not to mention I am sweaty and gross and by the time I showered and changed and drove over there it would be way late. Damn it. Ah well, maybe next time.

Also, I think I let the salsify go too long, the roots were both woody and spongy which I don't think is right. Fortunately, I have a lot more plants to try to time harvesting.
