Zoo day, and Thai food

April 7th, 2006 at 09:50 pm

Today's been a fun day. Spent $65 to renew our zoo membership while we were there, and then went to the natural history museum as well (our pass is still good there until late summer). DD made a list of some of her favorite animals and drew a little sketch of one of the bald eagles. Spent $1.50 on a churro.

Dinner tonight will be Thai food. We have a frozen Thai mix from Trader Joe's, and I'm going to try a recipe for peanut dipping sauce I found yesterday while flipping through Real Simple in the ballet waiting area. I'll make some grilled or baked tofu to go with it, and maybe some roasted bell pepper, too. Add some rice and it should be good. DH ought to like it - he's a big fan of Thai food.

Tomorrow night we're being treated to dinner at a place we enjoy. Ought to be a good time!

My $2 rebate check was mailed out yesterday, according to Rite Aid's web site. That will go to my challenge total once I get it.

    Sounds like a super day for you and your daughter!! The closest zoo to us is in Portland....5 hours away. Frown
    Confession- I have never tried tofu!

    We're lucky to have a nice zoo close by. We have a lot of good things to do within reasonable driving range.

    Never had tofu eh? It absorbs the flavor of whatever you cook it with - I add it to miso soup, I bake it after marinating it in soy sauce, I add it to stir fry... It's versatile and a good source of protein.
