Thursday Thoughts

I always think of all sort of things to write about for Thursday Thoughts but then when I sit down to actually write Thursday Thoughts, I draw a complete blank. So this will be short.

What We're Eating:

• Coq au Vin with steamed broccoli and leftover popovers/bread/polenta.
• Roasted Ratatouille with Creamy Parmesan Polenta
• Dessert: still working our way through leftover/gifted holiday candy and cookies

What We're Watching:

• Victoria is back on PBS. We like the show a lot, but it always seems like not much happens in an episode.
• The Gifted ended its first season. I'm glad they did a pretty good shortened season rather than 20-22 episodes with lots of stupid crap as filler and drawn out stuff. 
• My Thursday shows are back tonight! Very excited. 

What I'm Reading:

• I read The Wanted by Robert Crais. I always enjoy the Elvis Cole & Joe Pike books. Reading Crais always makes me think of my grandpa, who also enjoyed his books and introduced me to them way back in 1995.
• I also read Y is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton. I was sad to hear she passed away at the end of December, leaving the alphabet series unfinished. Her family said there will not be a "Z" book, the series ends at "Y." I honestly don't remember the early books all that well, and somewhere in there some of the books were just OK, but the last few were quite good, including Y.
• I read a couple magazines, but still have a pile of 4-5.
