A cat named Mandu, and Sloppy Joes

I'll get to the sloppy joes first because I like to talk about food. We had sloppy joes last night and they were pretty good. I loosely based my joes on a recipe from Cooking Light. No photos because I've never seen a joe that was photogenic.

This has been our dinner menu for the last few nights:

Friday: Cafe Rio (tradition)

Saturday: take out pizza

Sunday: Bowl of popcorn (me), glass of chocolate milk (TC)

Monday: Little Caesar's

Less than stellar. So TC and I hopped back on the wagon and got back to cooking every night (except for Friday nights, which are Rio nights).

Apparently the home cooking did me some good because I went from having a migraine and feeling horribly subdued to punchy within a few hours. So that's when TC and I started making up clever names for potential pets. Here are some of them so you can laugh with/at us, or shrug your shoulders indifferently. Your choice.

• Cat: Mandu
• Cat: Atonic
• Cat: Aclysmic
• Dog: Maddock (get it dogmatic?)
• Horse: Radish
• Hamster: Pork Chop
• Frog: Anthony Hopkins
• Bird: Brain
• Ferret: Ferret Fawcett

This makes me want to have pets so I can name them.

Update: apparently some wise guy actually named his cat Cat Mandu. I guess we're not as original as we thought.
