Much Ado About Nothing

Today Brandi and I saw Much Ado About Nothing at Theater in the Round. It was great. It had tons of energy, was very funny, and innovative. It is showing one more weekend and I highly recommend it.

Also, Ken Burns' National Parks is playing for the next 6 weeks on PBS. Each episode will also be on their website for the week in between episodes. A great chance to see a documentary. I plan to watch each episode.

Meatless Monday

On this lovely Meatless Monday I made some wonderful corn and potato soup with a Mexican flair.
As weeknight meals should be, it was fast and easy. I took this Epicurious recipe and adapted it for our tastes. That means using the adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers, cinnamon, cumin and leaving out the cilantro and jalapeno.

I served it with simple tostadas topped with refried beans and cotija.

Awesome Phone

One of my goals was to get an awesome phone. And on Friday, CJ and I both got the definition of an awesome phone, the iPhone. We had planned to get them next summer, but my employer is cracking down on who gets Blackberries and mine is being taken away. I knew I could live without a smart phone, so with lots of arm twisting (ha!) I convinced CJ that now was the time.
