One of the advantages of living where we do is that the theatres show movies all day for the senior citizens.  I took the kids to see “Memoirs of a Geisha” right after school yesterday.  It was beautiful, but not something I have to rush out and buy when it comes out on DVD.  I did have to bring my attention back to the movie with some effort at times (Look at the pickstitching on the cuff of that kimono!) and the girls needed some things explained, but we had a really nice time together.

Tomorrow, my darling friends Gayle, Barry, and Sophie are coming to visit, so I’m cooking all kinds of Indian stuff so we can feast tomorrow and I don’t spend all day in the kitchen.  The Saag Paneer is done, the Naan is rising.  Potatoes are boiling for the Aloo Mataar, and I’ll start the Moghlai Chickpeas after the kids are done cleaning up the kitchen.  I hope everyone’s mouths are watering right now.
