Friday Odds and Ends

TGIF, friends!

A couple of notes:

I went out yesterday to the Asian market a couple towns over, only to find them closed. For good. No, for bad, since I'm not aware of any other Asian markets without driving some 30 miles. Possibly someday when we're out for a Saturday lunch we'll make our way to Falls Church, where there are more Asian markets than Caucasian ones. Until then, I have seen tamarind in my "regular" supermarkets and may have to try to make the paste myself. From what I've read it isn't difficult, just messy.

John told me last night he's been hankering for pizza. He denied being tired of my cooking ;-) But since I woke up with quite a headache today and it has yet to go away despite my best efforts, I think I'll take him up on that "let's go out for pizza" tonight.

I also get Saturday night off from cooking since we're heading to a baseball game. Red Sox vs. Orioles, in Baltimore. Also known as Fenway South. Since it's nearly impossible to get a ticket to see the Sox at home, a lot of people make the trip to Baltimore (thank you Southwest airlines!). Add that to the multitude of transplanted New Englanders and members of Red Sox Nation from other parts living in the DC metro area, and it's quite a fun event for a Red Sox fan. Listen for me to start a rousing "Let's go RED SOX" as soon as the strains of the national anthem fade away...

  1. You're lucky to have the time to experiment with your cooking and you're lucky to get told to take a night off. I love that DH likes my cooking, but I rarely get a night off :)
