In the afternoon, it was an adventure to the local Half Priced Books. Round Rock seems to have a great selection in their store of used books of all varieties. We poured over the cook books and especially the travel books this time, looking for resources for our German trip, and found a small study book for an intro German class, complete with stickers to mark up our apartment in German! I also lucked into finding a complete copy of the Settlers of Catan Travel Edition for $5.98! This will be great when we go on trips and don't want to pack too many games.
We've been on a recent Thai food streak with our cooking, and so we thought it would be cool to make some of our favorite dishes for Laura's parents tonight. We cooked up a yellow potato curry with coconut milk (my favorite) and a chicken Pad Thai (Laura's favorite) complete with peanuts and spicy peppers, with rice on the side. It will be a favorite we continue to cook.
Our movie selections for tonight were Ocean's 12, not as exciting as the original, seemed like the actors had more fun than we did watching them, and Danny Deckchair, a great independent movie from Australia where a man goes ballooning on his deck chair and lands in another town, getting a chance to start his life over and fall in love again. Much better than expected. :)
