Hope you're on the mend, Dams! My mother went to the ER with shingles a
few years ago. She hasn't had a relapse to date (knocking on
particleboard).

This has been a cooking/baking/eating sort of weekend. Started off on
Friday by making hot cross buns. The recipe I used (from King Arthur's
200th Anniversary Cookbook) made a boatload, so I sent the SO to work
with some of them. Saturday we ran errands and ate at a Salvadoran
restaurant for lunch, then a Cambodian noodle shop in the International
District for dinner (see my post on seattle.eats for details). We had
dessert that night at the neighbors', which meant we foisted hot cross
buns on them. We had brunch yesterday at said neighbors' house--quiche
and homemade cinnamon rolls. Our contribution was a last-minute gemisch
of strawberries and kumquats, spiked with Grand Marnier and crystallized
ginger. Dinner was a small pork loin rubbed with garlic and rosemary
(see How to Cook Everything, p. 464) with mashed sweet potatoes, steamed
cauliflower, and some mango salsa on the side. I may have to hike up
and down Mt. Rainier a few times to work these excess Calories off.
(Fortunately, it is my spring break--now if the weather cooperates...)
