Comfort from the Storm
I spent all day yesterday ripping sopping wet carpet out of my parents' basement, even as more water seeped in and more rain poured down. Our only comfort at the time was our sense of humor -- that, and the carpet was installed circa 1972, and reminded everyone of a cheesy Las Vegas hotel (think Circus Circus). It was time for it to go.
When I got back to my place, I put on my PJs and tucked into a nice hot bowl of vegetable soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Today, the comfort eating continued: steak, mashed potatoes with pureed carrots, and chocolate cake.
It was a miserable weekend, but at least I ate well. What did you eat this weekend to keep you happy?

This weekend was marked by cheeseburgers and fajitas (not, sadly, at once). But more critically: I have stayed at Circus Circus, and it was one of the most regrettable travel decisions I've made in my entire life. I am thrilled on your behalf that your parents' carpet is gone.
