It has been a most relaxing evening, I left work early to go to a post-project celebration and then after, stopped at Goodwill to see if I could find any treasure. I found some cute cocktail glasses. After the movie, I spent some time researching plants that I want to add to my garden. There can never be too many plants. Really. No, really.

I made this for dinner tonight - glorious pork chops in a cider mustard cream sauce and those sweet potato dumplings. Nigella was not exaggerating when she was proclaiming its delicious goodness. Ooh and that gorgeous frying pan of hers!

Dinner: Grilled Pork Bun (Vietnamese rice noodle salad) with Cha Gio (fried roll)

I beg you to not feel bad for me if I might come across like I’m pining for Mike as I count down. I am making the most of it, really. Quiet evenings at home with a movie are underrated.

In other news, the deed is done. Some time in the coming week, I will have my hands on my new toy - a reward for working all those hours and successfully completing the damn project. There, I said it.

Movie: Jerry McGuire

Dinner: Leftover Teochew Png Kuih (Rice Cakes)

I love Renée Zellweger in the movie, she really makes you feel for her. I know the famous Bruce Springsteen song was all the craze when the movie first came out but I prefer Dylan’s Shelter from the Storm which played during the closing credits.

Movie: Hannah and her Sisters

Dinner: Meatballs in Marinara Sauce with Angel Hair Pasta

Drink: Diet Mountain Dew

The warmer weather this weekend led me outside into the yard where I was promptly bitten by the planting bug again. I’m so happy because I really thought that I was beginning to lose it. Mostly, I have mlle a. to thank for this.

Movie: Girl with a Pearl Earring (Scarlett Johansson is always luminous and who doesn’t want to stay up to see a broody Colin Firth?)
