• Holiday Weekend

  Hm, I really should get back into the habit of updating more often. I'll try to start updating once a week henceforth, at the very least.

  Anyway, the last few weeks have been going by rather well. Over Thanksgiving Weekend, my mother came into town, so we got to spend Thursday through Saturday together. And, that Wednesday I was also at another friends' place in Reston, so I got two Thanksgiving dinners that week! But, on the menu for Thursday was:

  • Chicken soup (with white meat and mixed vegetables)
  • Broiled chicken (with the olive oil and set of spices we used, it turned out extremely good)
  • Curried rice (my own recipe)
  • ...and I think something else... I can't recall

  But, point is, it was good.

  Now Friday... every Black Friday I find myself in a mall. Never mind that I don't celebrate Christmas really, and even when I get gifts, it's only 2 or 3 for close friends, so I have no real incentive to do any shopping the day after Thanksgiving. But, fate always brings me by a mall for some reason or another on that day. I figured no point in working against fate, so we went shopping after Friday prayers. Though, I do wish I brought that shiny new camera so I could've taken some shots of the crowds.

  Oh, and we went to Ikea. At my mother's insistence, I got some new furniture for my place. I'll put up some pictures and say a bit more sometime tomorrow then. KF
