Whew, I just made dinner for D and me and quite an operation it was. I made sweet potato, tomato and peanut soup for myself (D does not like sweet potatoes); a Thai salad with peanut dressing and cubes of tofu for D; and tomato paneer for both of us. You make paneer, as I described it in an earlier entry. Then you chop 1 and 1/4 cups of tomatoes, 1/4 c. of Vidalia onions, and saute everything in peanut oil with turmeric, cumin, salt and cayenne. You add the paneer cubes and saute them for 2 minutes. This only makes enough for 1 person. We split it. Then I whipped up some Annie's mac and cheese for D.
I watched "Kissing Jessica Stein" on DVD today. I never saw it in the theater, but I saw it on cable once and ended up buying the DVD. I love it because it's like a female Woody Allen movie, very funny and very New York. (Spoiler alert) I also like the guy she ends up with - I think he has a role on Law & Order or some other legal/crime drama I don't watch.
Anyway, for unknown reasons, the movie inspired me to write. So when Jessica and the guy were chatting on the terrace near the end of the movie, I paused it and wrote another page of my novel. I am thinking of kicking up my schedule from one page a day to two.
I'm reading Love and Other Four-Letter Words by Carolyn Mackler. It's a YA book I got from the library. The voice reminds me a lot of Judy Blume, who wrote a blurb for the book. It's cool.
