Mundane details and food stuff

daemonlunaWe've been all sociable-like the past few days. Thursday, we met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenzulu and mockingspike and after converging at Steeps for yummy tea, came back to our place to pimp Coupling to queenzulu and This is Wonderland to mockingspike. (And I discovered that the ridiculously long rollback time on my VCR meant that the beginning of ep 2x2 cut off the final scene of ep 2x1. Grr. Fortunately, it wasn't the episode where Nancy goes all protective over Alice. *g*)
Last night, we metming_lei and her husband for Korean, also yummy! Plus, we've been to the one place (Royal Seoul Gardens on 10th) often enough that they know us, and give us a jillion little side dishes. (Mmmmm, bean sprouts and tofu and those sweet fermented soybeans...) Then we headed back to their place to watch The Incredibles. Extras, whee! Except we were all dead tired by eleven thirty (and ming_lei was the only one who had the excuse of having to get up for work on Saturday).
Today we eventually headed out into the truly wretched weather to get groceries, etc. (Note to self: going anywhere near Superstore on a Saturday is insane.) But it was all good in the end, because supper was mussels and spicy sausage in a tomato garlic broth with braised kale and chewy multi-grain buns. And we have Tim Horton's coffee for tomorrow morning.
Things we need to make with groceries:
- paneer spinach curry (because we found frozen paneer)
- green rice, with cilantro and parsely and spinach
- white bean soup with kale and rosemary
- tomato-seafood pasta made with leftover mussels and broth
- something with tofu, possibly stir-fry or kimchee soup
Erm... those will turn into five different meals, I think. Because combining any of those (except maybe the pasta and the bean soup) would probably be bad. And I forgot to buy coffee filters or milk. Dammit.
