I'm running on fumes, so please excuse the pro forma quality of today's Good Things:
1. Trader Joe's Tikka Masala Curry Sauce.
I promise I'm not a corporate shill account.
This stuff is fantastic, it's quick, and makes for plentiful leftovers. I get three packages of it, three pounds of chicken thighs, and cook up two cups of rice. Boom, dinner. Somehow one of the main ingredients is watermelon seeds?!?
2. Bolo de Rolo.
The kids have foisted the Carmen Sandiego remake on us (review: it's not terrible!), and in the Brazil episode they mentioned bolo de rolo. Now I know my life will not be complete until I've tried it. Mmmm, bolo de rolo...

3. Gumption traps.
It sucks to be in that place where you feel like you're dead in the water and just waiting for some whiff of a breeze to send you in some direction, any direction. But it's good to remember that those moments have their own perverse power, and that sometimes afterwards you realize you weren't becalmed, you were waiting for the engine to be revved up to the point where you were ready to drop it into the water.
