My husband is illegally wonderful in so many states I had to take him out of the union.

In response to Michael Pollen's article about Eat food, not too much, mostly plants (link courtesy rob_donoghue), not to mention Vegetarian is the New Prius (courtesy socapic, my sister who never updates her blog), and also trying to get back on the weight loss wagon (she said, valiently ignoring the twelve thousand cookies she ate today), I put in a request to the Ted for more vegetable-based meals.

Tonight he made grilled mushrooms and aubergine with rice and broccoli. It was *insanely* good. Tomorrow he's planning on making red beans and rice. *swoons* I have the very best Ted!

And, not exactly related, but not entirely not, at least if you think like I do, there's a fair trade shop in Cork that's looking for volunteers. I thought maybe I'd go in and talk to them and see if they wanted somebody who could come in maybe one or two afternoons a week. It'd get me out of the house and I'd meet people, and it's a sort of morally superior kind of way to spend time. I've got a job, so the paycheck part isn't important, and, well, heck. I think I'll go see, anyway.

And now to bed, because I have to go be interviewed in the morning.
