happy tax day
today.....
no gym (got up too late 'cause i stayed up too late watching Cars)
JSoc had a lovely lovely field trip to Super Valu, and I'll be returning tomorrow to get the coat that was left there (we brought a big bag of mine for the bulk seder matzah, and the coat was in the bag, but they took it out to fit the matzah, and i didn't notice it was gone until a couple hours later. but i called the store and they have it and it's sitting at the desk with my name on it waiting for me to come tomorrow.) Also, the JSoc regulars finally met Alon and he was a hit. He bought us Bazooka and translated all the Hebrew jokes.
Found something for my parents to buy me for my birthday (since really I can get anything I need here apart from cheezits, but sending money is plain stupid): SHOES. They're way expensive here, and don't ever come in wide.
I bought cranberries and walnuts for different Pesach recipes. didn't find pickling spice, though, and I'm going to scour the city tomorrow looking for it, celery salt, and dry mustard (and hopefully, find a place selling spices in bulk so I don't have to buy the entire package to use teaspoons of it). Also, I asked at Dunnes about that red skirt (the one I've been eyeing for months waiting for the price to drop, it never did, and I snapped up the last one in the Stephen's Green store in a size too small) in other sizes, and no store has any. It's a weight-loss skirt and/or I just have to wear a forgiving shirt on top.
and now I've just gotta figure out what to eat for the next four days. It'll be a lot of rice, couscous and oatmeal (strike the rice- used that up last night. Spanish rice ahoy! Loving the canned tomatoes recently). I should make that weird satay sauce, too. Get rid of my PB and soy sauce- all the kitniyot.
