Extra Starch

Sunday, last week, was a day with extra starch.  I went to Mass in the morning.  And you might think I would use starch on the clothing, but I am not an ironing gal.  So, no starch there.  But for lunch we went to McAllister's.  I had the veggie chili and a turkey melt.  A bit of starch in that meal.  But, delicious starch.

Then hubby and I went over to see the movie Iron Lady about Margaret Thatcher.  A strangely edited, difficult to follow movie in my estimation.  But, that lady had starch.  The most surprising part for me was to hear that she is still alive.  Upon reflection, I realized that I have no memory of a funeral for her, but somehow I thought she had died long ago.

Hubby and I came home fully expecting to play on our computers and call our far flung relatives in the evening, but there was a call from friends suggesting a meal out.  We met at a local Italian place.  And that would be starch upon starch.  But I had the catfish and a salad.  Still, there was bread, so it was a starchy meal.

It seemed as though all the fun of the weekend was crammed into several hours with a movie and friends.  Sometimes it is fun to have a day with an extra measure of starch.
