and if the genie were set free
Things I have learned in the past week
1. Home-made soup tastes a thousand times better after having sat in the refrigerator for awhile. I made a tomato soup last week, had some right after cooking, and thought it was okay. Then I had some as leftovers and it tasted so much better, a lot more flavorful. Last night I made potato soup and didn't bother having it right away. I had it for dinner tonight and it was pretty tasty.
2. It's tough to have dietary restrictions and eat out at a restaurant. I've decided to stop eating beef and pork, and to limit my dairy intake as much as I can. Unfortunately, I'm learning how much food has red meat and dairy in it. I went to the mall to buy a dress for my brother's wedding and ended up just getting fries at the food court after wandering around in consternation for awhile. Seriously, I have a lot more sympathy for people with food allergies now.
3. Supernatural really isn't a female-friendly show. Or, at least, the fourth season isn't. I watched the fourth season this past week and couldn't believe how many "bitches", "whores" and "sluts" were thrown around in the dialogue. What the hell, writers, what the hell.
4. I also seem to have a weird interest in angels. See my recent Supernatural-watching habit.
Next month is my brother's wedding and I'm so excited. I can't remember if I've written about it on this journal before but my brother is getting married in Disney World. :))))))) I've booked a room at a Disney hotel and have my flight and I've got my dress and I'm ready for have a lot of fun. Honestly, I think small destination weddings are the way to go. My mother's friend is planning the wedding for her daughter and they've already spent $25,000 on it and they're not done. My brother and his fiance have spent around $5,000 and everyone is set. Plus, we don't have to deal with a boring reception AND we get to have a vacation at the same time.
