Mid Week Day Off

Some weeks I get Wednesdays "off" and it is such a blessing! It also makes me work harder on Tuesdays. Anyway, yesterday, I got the day off. I slept in like a mo-fo and then headed to visit D and the family.



She is so darn cute! Wait...one more...



Ok, I promise to not be *that* girl...but it's SO DARN HARD!

Anyway, I had a south Indian lunch at my aunt's house-- rice, rasam, sambhar, veggies. I would take pics of this, but it always looks super awkward. I've tried to document it multiple times but it always looks kinda gross/weird/blobbish. One day, I will break down a traditional south Indian meal on the blog. And, I will try to make it look pretty.

Anyway, I played for about 2 hours post lunch. I think I sang the Barney song 276 times before I left. Oh and let's not forget the ABC's. That one's a toughie.

I got home and watched Smash-- the new NBC show that premiered on Monday. It's the musical one with American Idol runner-up Katherine McPhee? Ringing any bells? Anyway, I kinda liked it. I wasn't thrilled that the musical revolves around Marilyn Monroe, but I'll watch it.

Anyway, dinner was simple.

Roasted veggies...



...thrown together with seitan and quinoa (it's in there, I promise!) and topped with Mmm sauce post-photo shoot.



'Twas okay. I think the seitan was undercooked or something. It didn't taste quite right. But, the veggies were perfect. And, you can never go wrong with quinoa.

Anyway, hope your day is off to a great start!
