« Almond cookies | Tonight's dinner »
Today I uttered the most plaintive sentence in all the world: I am too tired to clean the kitchen and I have to read piles of Marxist theory.
So out to dinner it was! Unfortunately, the Thai place we found in Silver Spring was considerably less than thrilling. Fortunately, as we were driving away, we spied an Ethopian place just around the corner. We will explore further soon.
In other news, I have been partaking heartily of some elderflower saft (Scandinavian juice syrup intended to be diluted with water) we bought at Ikea (!). I am currently wishing I'd bought seven or eight bottles. It was the only really good thing we bought that day. Because I am defective, I generally find water a fairly unthirstquenching drink, and am always in search of drinks that are basically water, but more interesting. So I was happy to find that even in much more dilute proportions than recommended on the bottle, this stuff is very satisfying. The elderflower flavor is subtle and quite delicious and reminds me intensely of somethingorother, I have no idea what. Supposedly it is good for your immune system, too.
And now I want to try some of this organic Elder Flower Drink. "This is the one that started it all. A pleasant surprise is what could best describe the first taste of elder flower. That cool, light and fresh taste with the full summer bouquet. Nearly everyone who tastes Søbogaard for the first time asks where they can get more." You tell 'em!
