So Nathan’s mom is visiting us this weekend. Yesterday we hung out here and made some killer Indian food, which was a huge hit. Today we had sort of planned to visit some of the Missions, but we wound up chilling at home for most of the day and eating and reading cookbooks at each other. (This is all entirely at odds with my effort to lose some of the nine million pounds I’ve gained in the last year.)
We eventually left the house at about two, with no particular plan. We wound up driving to Benicia, which is ADORABLE, and going to the old state capitol building, and taking a tour of this cool Victorian house next door. There were not one, but TWO California Registered Historical Landmarks, so of course I had to pose.
After the historical awesomeness, we went into Berkeley and took Barbara to the Bowl, where she bought boatloads of spices so she could try making Indian food at home, and then to Cafe Rouge for a truly wonderful meal during which I tried not to think about the entire week’s worth of calories I was consuming. It was totally worth it, though. I’m pretty confident that a good time was had by all.
Mmmmm…..Indian food.
A good time was definitely had by me and some of the leftover Indian food made an awsome lunch today.
