While following links from other blogs I happened across kumquat's musings, another nicely designed blog that I'll probably add to my list of regular reads. The latest posting was about kumquat's food cravings, the most recent being Vietnamese noodle soup, which we had for lunch.

It was our first visit to the noodle shop, Pho 99, in Herndon, VA. Highly recommended, although the sauce that came with the vegetarian tofu rice dish contained fish broth. We also stopped by the nearby Salvation Army store. I can usually spend hours there, but their book selection was pretty limited. I did pick up Picturing Will by Ann Beattie (New York Times review), and a novel about a French priest in the new world, Saint in the Wilderness by Glenn Kittler. I've never heard of the later but it looked interesting. After searching for a few minutes on Google I see that Saint is on someones Want List at Significant Books. I plan to check out the Want List on a regular basis. Selling a book there would sure beat the 10% of cover price that I get at the local used book store.
