Three Beautiful Things 05/15/09: Dan Turns Loquacious, Return of the Doughnut, Leftover Curry Delight

1. I took the Honda in for an oil change and the usually laconic Dan, at the counter, told me more about how he sees the world outside of auto maintenance than he has in the nearly ten years I've taken cars to his shop. Very enjoyable.

2. What do you call a maple bar that has chocolate on it, not maple? I had one today while I waited for the car to be repaired, my first doughnut of any kind since I contracted pneumonia. Pleasant!

3. I heated up Wednesday night's vegetable curry, poured some peanuts over it, sweetened it with apple-cranberry chutney and was taken aback by how much better it tasted as a leftover than it had when freshly cooked.
