i really can't stay

things have been really slow around here lately. lots of reading, applying for stuff, drinking tea, cooking. we've been on kind of a soup kick. after thanksgiving it was turkey soup with rice. this week i made corn chowder that was deeeelicious. and yesterday faj and i made spanky's vegetable beef soup.

now we're just counting down the days until the cruise (9 right now) and thinking about what we want to eat in new orleans. it's always about food in this household. tonight we went to the german buffet in walburg. sooo yummy. schnitzel, purple cabbage, broccoli salad, sauerkraut, all kinds of meat with sauce..

we went to sam moon today. it's asian and everything is suuuuper cheap. i found two pairs of earrings i couldn't live without that were $2.50 each. kind of like taiwan without the haggling. seriously check out that website though. you won't believe the prices.
