In case you're wondering, some people found their way to my blog today by searching for:

"Gwyneth Paltrow in gray dress" (I posted about her new pregnancy recently, but no gray dress was mentioned or depicted).

"What can be made out of potatoes?"

I know what can be made with sweet potatoes! Tonight I'm making the sweet potato-peanut soup. I've been sick all this week and soup sounds good to me. Last night we went out for some spicy Indian and that helped clear my head a little bit!

And my methods for getting to sleep when it seems impossible are either Benadryl or a glass of wine. Just don't use both at the same time... ;-)

Bdogg - Hehe! No, they are evil. It turns out ProCare customers can book a spot 7 days in advance. So the bar was actually booked at 6 am. It costs $99 to be a ProCare member. So the whole thing is a racket. I'm going to try mailing it in to Apple - I think they say you can do that on their website. D is pretty sure it's under warranty, though neither of us are sure when I got it. And it looks like the colored iPod minis have been discontinued :(

Liz - I'm so happy you're making that soup! It's really awesome. And sorry to hear that you're sick.

Sadly, I am an old veteran of Benadryl, and it no longer works for me. And wine actually keeps me up even later. There's something weird about my body chemistry where almost everything is a stimulant. I should probably be a subject in a sleep experiment. Nah, I'm sure I'd sleep even worse under laboratory conditions ;)

Bearette-- the soup was great. The chopped peanut garnish definitely makes the dish! This is similar to a sweet potato-mango soup I make, but the mangos make that one sweeter.

Great! I'm glad you like it. The mango version sounds good, too.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

Odds and ends

Hello, blog world. I guess there was a little decrease in excitement after seeing Madonna...but I will see what I can come up with for you. PUPKIN. Pupkin is a small dog, very feisty and cute, that I have fallen in love with. She lives at Groom-a-Rama, a pet store on 6th Ave where I go to ogle the puppies in the window. Yesterday they were all exceptionally cute and I wished I had my camera. But I'm afraid the flash might freak them out anyway. Pupkin's collar says she is a female, red-brown Shorkie Tzu (after a moment's thought, I figured out she's a Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix). Pupkin is very lively; she likes to nibble the other puppies' ears and roll around with them. She also licks the inside of the window glass, trying to lick my fingers. One of those old men who likes to narrate (you know what I mean, don't you?) was standing nearby, saying, "Look at these girls who just want to sleep [indicating a pair of serene cream-colored bulldogs with beautiful eyes]....
