Well, it's good times over in the Beck household this evening. The New York Giants are a shocking 5-2 and have won 5 straight games. And I got to see them play, which is a bonus given I am an out-of-market fan. The NFL is trying to build their international fan base, so next week's game is in London. Tonight, we also got to see the Denver Broncos get back on track with a solid win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Needless to say, Marc was incredibly happy after last week's dismal outing.
It's Sunday, so I went into the kitchen to try something new. Today's recipe was from Tyler Florence's new book called 'Tyler's Ultimate'. Made some Lemon Curry Chicken with an Apple-Basmati Rice Salad. Came out pretty good as it had an eclectic assortment of flavors and textures. The wine pairing was ok, not fabulous. Think it was more about the wine then the pairing itself.
So Marc's colleague, Gülay and her husband, Ian, hosted a shindig on Saturday evening. It was nice to catch up with some of his colleagues and have some laughs (one at a former colleague's expense that worked at both WaMu and Starbucks - she was just a tad psycho). The other cool thing was that the party was within walking distance of our house, which makes things much easier.
Finally, I hope I have developed what is considered a temporary addiction to Facebook. It's all Jeanne's fault.
And good luck to Vij tomorrow.
