Well, here's the soup I mentioned yesterday. I got the title wrong; it's Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. You serve it with cilantro on the top, so imagine little green floaties. And I used oyster mushrooms; I don't love mushrooms, and I thought that regular buttons would be too dense. I think I made the right choice there. It turned out to be pretty good. It definitely has the flavors of my fave place back in La La Land. I don't think I'd make it again, but I'm glad I did because I learned two things: for me, less is more with the fresh ginger, and I like red curry paste. A lot.

I love this show. So much so that I bought one of their cookbooks. One of my goals is to cut back on eating out. I have other cookbooks, but the thing I like about this one is that it explains all kinds of things about cooking and it has great recommendations for products and equipment just like the show! It's like Alton Brown's show but without the theatrics. Right now my plan is to try one recipe per week. Tomorrow I'm making Thai Chicken Soup. I couldn't find the right mushrooms, so I'm a bit concerned. And since I don't usually like mushrooms, well, this is a stretch for me anyway. But I have high hopes because I love Thai chicken soup and it is full of ingredients that I love.

I do too have friends

Here's a shot of our Christmas cards and my birthday cards all lined up on the bookshelf. I got more photo cards this year. I usually get a photo card from my friend Melissa, but this year I also got photo cards from my cousin and one of my youth group kids.

What's going on here?

I'm giving up my other online thingys. I have an account at Open Diary, and I have a MySpace page. I'm quitting both of those, and I'm going to move anything of any consequence here to this blog. It's too much to keep up with, so this is my compromise: I'll post on both of them that I'm closing them up so that anyone who cares can bookmark this page. OD will take the longest, because there's a lot there I'd like to preserve. Some of that stuff will show up here; much of it will just be archived for posterity.

This Endris Nyght is the name of an English melody used for various hymns. I'm not particularly fond of the melody, nor of the words to the hymn in my hymnal which use this melody. And This Endris Nyght in Middle English means "a few nights ago", which isn't all that inspiring.

But the sound of it. This Endris Nyght. Say it out loud.
