m_of_disguiseMade chicken tinga for dinner last night, which we ate with tortillas and cotija cheese. I made Spanish rice as a side, and it was overall a very good meal. M was surprised at how spicy it is, since I almost never cook spicy food, but I've developed a taste for it since the pregnancy, and he is happily on board.
Temperatures are starting to go back up in the morning, and the drive to work wasn't nearly as pleasant as the past few days have been. It's 9AM now and almost 80 degrees, where it was comfortably in the lower 70s the past few. Blah. I really hope M can get the air conditioner fixed in the Toyota this weekend, because it's triple digits all next week, and the AC is necessary for survival.
Big Southern Dinner is a go for this weekend, and I've decided to add a pound cake to the feast. I need to pick up a hand mixer because it's one of the few small kitchen appliances I still haven't replaced, and I want to bake, dammit. With Fall around the corner and all sorts of good breads to make, I need a mixer!
I also picked up a gallon of milk to make some cheese. I specifically want to make paneer, because I want some palak paneer (spinach curry with cheese), and paneer costs a stupid amount in the stores and is dead simple to make. Now I just need cheesecloth.
Had an OB checkup yesterday, and all is well. I am down 2lbs, which the doc said is fine because I was overweight to start with, and the fetus is still a healthy weight. I'm hitting all the other milestones. In total I have only gained 2lbs so far during this pregnancy, but the doctors are totally unconcerned. I'm curious to see if I'll actually be lower than my initial weight after I give birth.
