Overheard in the Steam Room

Yesterday, in the steam room, I overheard a guy say the following regarding Obama appointing someone to a post after Congress had finished its session: "I just think it was a sneaky way to get other Socialists, Communists, and crooks in." Yeah. I thought y'all would enjoy that little tidbit. And I kept my mouth shut, too. (Sometimes I blurt when a more suitable response would be silence.)

Other than that, the weekend was pretty low-key. Today, I attended a baby shower, so I had to venture into Babies R Us to buy a gift. I would not recommend this unless it's absolutely necessary or you are keen on inflicting pain on yourself.

On Saturday, I slept in deliciously late, did laundry, made the aforementioned hideous run to Babies R Us, serendipitously ran into friends and shared a coffee with them, and had my little steam room session. Yesterday evening, I watched Desk Set with a friend.

And that's about it.

Oh. I almost forgot! Last week, I made an amazing Thai curry soup. I cheated a bit in that I used Trader Joe's Thai curry sauce, but the result was yummy. It had green beans, cauliflower, tofu, Indian spices (turmeric, mustard seed, coriander), onions, and garlic. If you like spicy Thai flavors, give it a whirl. You could use whatever veggies appeal to you.

Failure: Roasted Green Tomatoes

This soup was an utter failure.  I roasted a bunch of green tomatoes, thinking I could salvage them from the fall garden. I'd make roast...
