Yesterday was an awesome day. I got a job offer! I finished a fellowship application in consultation with my adviser. D.'s work didn't have power so he got sent home at noon. Our building didn't have air conditioning yet so ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
durdge invited us over and we spent much of the afternoon playing Mario Kart on the Wii. Then I passed my bellydance exam and can move up a level (this is for one particular teacher I just started with this spring who teaches in a slightly different style than my other teachers). I was really surprised to pass, most people have to take several semesters of her class (although she did give me a list of things to work on). Then we went back to durdge's where Jem had gotten home from work "early" and we watched Superbad. An excellent day.
Today our air conditioning was turned on (finally!). I'm making a lentil and rice casserole and I have a question for all you cooks out there. Last weekend D. bought a roast at the grocery store (we don't usually eat large chucks of meat, but it was massively on sale). I made the roast with roasted root veggies and it came out okay. We've had it a couple times but now I have half a beef roast cooked medium-rare sitting in my fridge.
Any suggestions for other things I can make with the leftover meat? I'm particularly partial to stews and casseroles but any ideas would be appreciated. There's only so many roast beef sandwiches I can eat in a week.
