Food makes feelings happy

So after dealing with a situation on Friday that was probably more frustrating and nervewracking than an actual Big Serious Deal (I'm hoping for the best here), I dragged Bemo out and we had dinner at a nice place my sister had bought us a gift certificate for. It's called the 9 South Chargrill, and I'd link to the website except for such a charming, polished-yet-casual place it has kind of a craptastic website. I had chicken with mushrooms and Marsala sauce, Bemo had a sandwich called Pig and Cow - roast beef and ham on marbled rye, and we finished by splitting an awesome piece of apple pie and vanilla ice cream.

And then work today unexpectedly featured large quantities of write-off meat, so I have a big pot of beef stew bubbling away, with mushrooms, carrots, and onions. It'll go over egg noodles when done with. I may make bread, except I can't find my basic recipe and am not sure I remember it entirely. Oh, and before I made stew, we stopped off at Target for some stuff and I ran into the little Korean carry-out in the same shopping center and picked up some fried mandu (Korean version of the potsticker or dumpling) and we snacked on that because I knew the stew would take some time to pull together.

In knock-wood news, my mom may have finally dumped or been dumped by her sorta-fiance. Cross your fingers, people. My sister and I were concerned that all the bad aspects of their relationship would only come out after the marriage, but it looks like some of it has happened in a more timely manner.

Isn't it great when you can get meat at a reduced price?
