Cocoon

Our icy weather, or rather the threat of icy weather, resulted in a change of plans for the weekend. My wife and I were planning to use a certificate for a free hotel room in downtown Dallas so we could explore the downtown area. After hearing forecasts of icy conditions, we opted to postpone. My wife was feeling really worn out, anyway, so it was best to put it off for a while. We may use it around our anniversary. I thought the certificate expired soon, but my wife says it is good through April.

Our satellite TV provider is offering free access to a couple of premium channels this weekend, hoping to lure people into subscribing to them, so we decided to watch some movies...mindless stuff, but it provided entertainment as we holed up indoors against the cold. We did go out for awhile...to drop by the post office and get a late lunch (a bowl of tortilla soup for my wife and a cup of tortilla soup and enchilada/beans/rice for me) at at place we like a lot, Luna de Noche.

Since we had planned to be eating out, we hadn't prepared for dinner, but recovered nicely with a tasty wild rice casserole, topped with cheddar cheese and shrimp...my wife had accumulated most of the ingredients, planning to have it sometime soon. She found the recipe in the newspaper, I think. It caught her eye because it emphasized that it was low-carb.

We stayed in mostly...in our warm cocoon. That was Saturday. Sunday, we may venture out if the weather cooperates. It's 12:30 am and I hope to be up reasonably early so I won't miss out on Sunday, so I better get to bed.
