Now that I finished blogging our trip to India, I figured I should get back to what’s happening these days. Last Friday I went out with the usual gang of ex-students from work, and we visited a couple of places including Bar Mar. It is one of our favorites – lots of affordable wine and some pretty good Spanish appetizers. Luckily this time wasn’t quite as crazy as the last time – no squid ink stained fork in my bag this time around.
Saturday and Sunday I purposely kept my schedule clear, and spent most of the time relaxing at home playing video games and staying out of the heat. It was pretty oppressive outside this weekend, and Saturday night there was even a powerful thunderstorm that passed through right before I was ready to go outside and grill up some chicken breasts. I’ll have to consider a roof over the back patio, I guess.
While I had a life of leisure this weekend, Kuniko was busy kicking ass. She went off to work on Saturday and got back around seven at night, doing classes and getting her hair done. Then Sunday she went off to take care of some errands coming back in the late afternoon. No rest at all for her, and now we’re already getting the next week going.
Last night we went over to visit Kuniko’s parents, for the first time in a long time. We looked at pictures from our trip, caught up with what they’ve been up to, and had a big dinner. As usual everything was delicious, and we left with full stomachs and bags full of fresh vegetables. This time around we received potatoes, okra, eggplant, green peppers, shiso leaves, a pumpkin, and some tomatoes. We’ll have to figure out what to make to use them up as soon as possible. Maybe curry?
