It’s been an odd week, schedule-wise, and I haven’t posted anything since Monday a week ago, and now it’s Wednesday.
Rach is here for an unusual Wednesday to omigod in the morning Thursday stay. Last week, Mark stayed in Chicago until Thursday, and this week he’s staying until Friday, and when he comes back he’ll have Ethan with him, also unusual.
I’ve been trying to use up my last CSA box, and when Rach got here last Wednesday it was hot so we had a big salad supper: lettuce, beets, cheese, nuts. On Thursday, it was cold, and we had pasta with escarole & spinach, and feta & goat cheese.
On Friday Mark and I had tickets for Bach Dancing & Dynamite. I had had a biggish lunch from the carts, tofu with peanut sauce on greens. I think I had some graham crackers with Nutella and we went to the show.
On Saturday we went to the farmers market and came back with strawberries and sugar snap peas and eggs and a turkey steak for dinner. And pastries from L’Etoile, a chocolate croissant and a cinnamon twist, kind of like an elephant ear. And lots of herbs. We had soft boiled eggs and toast, with the pastries and strawberries for breakfast.
We had the turkey steak and cilantro rice and a big salad for dinner – then off to BDDS, again.
Saturday it was rainy and misty, but Sunday was gorgeous and Rach and I got out for a walk. I made rhubarb ripple coffee cake, and didn’t burn it this time.
We had poached eggs & toast & cheese & tomatoes & bacon – kind of like fancy egg sandwiches. And fruit and coffee cake.
I biked over to the waterfront fest in the afternoon and saw a fun band, Birds of Chicago.
Rach and I had ice cream and Game of Thrones for dinner. Season 5 finale – TV has caught up with the books but there’re some serious plot differences. You can have a super detailed list or an overview.
On Monday after work I made a batch of the gluten free peanut butter cookies that I’ve made the last two years for Christmas – they’re sandwich cookies with chocolate filling. But I flattened them with a glass and instead of sandwiching I topped them with chocolate some milk and some dark and some left plain.
Here’re some pictures I took back in May and never posted, from that Occupy WID thing.
