Cooking
Saturday was 'date night', and Matt and I had dinner, followed by a night at the theater (Arsenic & Old Lace). But we had a big block of time before the show started, so we headed to one of our favorite places...Edward McKay's Used Books and CD's.
McKay's recently moved from their old location to a much, much bigger building...and more importantly, with lots of parking!
Matt's been there since the move, but this was my first visit.
Wow.
Seriously; wow. The place is huge. You really could get lost in there...which is more dangerous than it sounds!
Unleashing either one of us upon a book store is akin to setting free an ant colony next to a chocolate cake.
We went there with the intention of just picking up a few books. Really, just a few.
But then I found the cooking aisle.
Thirteen books later, I forced myself to find Matt, who was absorbed in the anthropology section. I caught him before he did much damage; stopping at three.
That brought our total to sixteen books. Throw in a couple of CDs, and we were done. Total? Exactly $70.00. Not bad...those .50 Time/Life books really helped!

When out of town friends come for a visit, we some how find ourselves taking them to a wonderful used book store in town. We do it for them, of course. It's all about them... And yet? Matt & I come home with an almost-too heavy to carry box of books...

Back when I was still pregnant with Alex, Matt would sometimes bring home those little store-made trays of sushi for me. Wasn't exactly good sushi, but it was quick and easy to eat (I had very little appetite at the time). Once, the dogs made a bit...
