Resolved: Never order appetizers AND a meal - too much food. Went to Jinja House for husband's 60th birthday. He wanted to order the Tokyo Crispy Tofu as an appetizer and we shared it. I ordered the Jungle Green Curry with marinated tofu and brown rice off the lunch menu - the portion was enormous and I, of course, ate it all even though the appetizer had quelled my appetite. What's the point of appetizers except to make people too full to eat their real meal? I didn't want leftovers sitting in the hot car while we shopped at Whole Foods. I should start carrying a small cooler and ice to take leftovers home when I eat out!
Overheard at Jinja House (probably the WHOLE restaurant overheard) a motor-mouth woman talking loudly on her cell phone. Or maybe she was pretending to converse with someone because she left no space at all for the other person to say a word. She said she's going to move to Santa Fe, journal about the experience and write a book. Maybe it will be a talking book...
Daughter and son-in-law had husband and me over for dinner. Made pork BBQ, potato salad, roasted vegetables from their garden, green salad and chocolate-iced marble bundt birthday cake. Daughter gave husband home made plum jam for his birthday - very delicious. I had some tonight on bread and peanut butter.
Husband at movie theater seeing The Town because he gets in free on his birthday.
Exercised on Canyon Rim Trail and Mesa Trail this morning before Santa Fe trip. Saw coyote chasing something that ran off fast in a swirl of dust. Saw adorable boy bicyclist, with his Dad, who was maybe all of 5 years old. Little boy told me he liked my hat!
Last night we watched the DVD Temple Grandin, a made for HBO movie. It utterly enthralled me. It won loads of Emmys and I can see why - it was so well acted. I found the story of Temple's life and career moving, inspiring and so very interesting. Temple is one smart person!
