Lunch: Vietnamese vermicelli. Gonna try to make it at home.

I'm still not in much shape to go anywhere so we'll be at home this evening. There's a fireworks display a few miles down the road we may walk down to the driveway to see if we can see part of it.

DH picked up a short contract job so he'll be working on that all day. I suppose I'll be doing my usual... keeping an eye on the TV, reading, maybe working on my CEC's if I feel up to it.

We had some visitors this weekend and that was nice. Contact with the outside world is a good thing and I'm starting a nice collection of flowers. :) Still don't have much of an appetite but I seem to be eating a little more every day.

Hope you all have a great holiday!

I had a very busy week so I'm spending today relaxing.

ha ha ha! When I lived in Silver Spring (back in 1984) we used to go to "the pool" almost every day in the summer as well! I didn't know that was a Maryland thing.

Well not to be a snob but folks in these parts have their own pools or they go to "the beach".

What do you have for sushi? We talked about going out for it but all I can think of is cucumber roll that's vegetarian. Sounds like you're having a great time in Connecticut!

Jean,

How did the vermicelli come out? Is it the cold curry one?

I actually undercooked it. You're probably thinking of the very very thin Chinese kind of vermicelli - this is approximately the thickness of spaghetti. The directions on the package said soak in cold water for an hour and then boil for 10-12 minutes. After about 5 minutes I checked and they looked very floppy so I took them out and drained, but when I ate them, the middle of the noodles were still VERY chewy.
