Thursday Thoughts

Saturday dinner out was at Mercurio's. We had our usual Della Casa salad plus Sausage & Mushroom Pizza and Capricciosa Pizza. Then we had cappuccino and gelato. This time I got Mint Chunk and SP had Black Cherry Bordeaux (which is what I usually get). As usual, it was yummy and we had leftovers for lunch on Sunday.

Last weekend was Pierogie Weekend. We make them once a year, usually in February. As usual, my mom came to help (and claim some). We made about 8 dozen. This is the second year we used farmers cheese in addition to cheddar in the potato mixture and we really like it.

We both have felt a little under the weather this week. SP seems worse. He's been sneezing and blowing his nose a lot. I just have a lot of sinus crap.

What We're Eating:

• Beer Braised Pork, Pierogie, Brussels sprouts/broccoli
• Chicken Noodle Soup
• Split Pea Soup
• Dessert:  Raspberry Shortbread Bars

What We're Watching:

• Only 1 more episode of True Detective! Episode 7 was great.
• Victoria & Albert. Still squabbling. Feodora. Still causing trouble. 
• Manifest ended for the season. I guess it was OK. A cliffhanger. And the fate of the guy who "drowned" in the van made for an interesting reveal.
• The Gifted hasn't seemed as strong to me as the first season. I'm glad to see "the team" reunited. Don't care much about if the shot character is dead or not. And can't wait for someone to kill Reeva.
• I watched The Old Man & the Gun. It's a beautiful movie and has a terrific cast.

What I'm Reading:

• Magazines.
• I finished The Blues Walked In. I really enjoyed it even though it's not my usual kind of book.
