food, glorious food

I had a simply lovely Sunday.

It began with the pups accompanying Jesse and I on a visit to the botanical garden.

Some enterprising soul had made a rope swing over the river but we, vertiable chickens that we are, lacked the courage to make an attempt.

Who you calling chicken?

I had a wonderful date with my hubs watching The Proposal. Naturally, I cried during the trailer for The Time Traveler's Wife because a) I am so full of hormones right now I have been crying for approximately three days straight* and, b) The Time Traveler's Wife didn't just make me cry, it made me grieve. I mean, I went into mourning. I very nearly got a tattoo reading "Henry + Claire 4ever." I was, like, dressed in sack cloth and ashes, keening and wailing. I love that book.

*This is true. Todd will confirm.

As usual, the quality of my day was based upon food consumed.

Mocha from Greyhouse....

....Tabbouleh and Baba ghanouj from The Blue Nile....(lamb kebabs and lentil soup for Todd)

...almond milk bubble tea from Basil Thai.

Have you read "The Time Traveler's Wife"? It's good but sad so I doubt I'll see the movie.

OMG, I love that book sooooooooooo much. I remember reading the ending and sobbing on the lounge whilst my son looked on with disbelief. He said " Mum its only a book". No no no, I totally agree with you, I mourned for days.

Tabbouleh makes everything better. I've only recently discovered it and I'm in love. One of these days I'm going to try bubble tea. It always looks so good.

Thanks for the warning about The Time Travelers Wife. I'm in no shape to read such a tear jerker. (It's been a rough weekend. I'll fill you in later!)

[this is good]

Pretty much a perfect day, I say.

Hannah, you crack me up. Maybe you'll get the tattoo after seeing the movie. I'll have to read that book. I'm at a lull right now in books and need a good one.

Yes, that was what I was talking about. While the trailer made me shed a silent tear or two, it was the book that finished me off.

Haha, my kids have totally said the same thing to me. They don't any more because then they get a little spiel on, while this particular book or issue may be fictional, it speaks of real emotions, the human condition, etc, etc. Better just to let me bawl, they've figured out.
