Apr. 19th, 2009 12:17 am1. I am a little perturbed by the idea of "loungewear" and "activewear" for infants.
2. Salad with spinach, strawberries, diced leftover chicken, and pine nuts = yum. More strawberries in the dressing, along with some orange juice, champagne vinegar, olive oil and hazelnut oil. I sprinkled on some poppy seeds at the end. A little scallion or red onion might have been welcome, too. I also think this would work well with arugula instead of spinach. Yet another possibility: a little mustard in the dressing, for sharpness? Or a different vinegar?
3. I went to the Old Oakland Farmer's market for the first time on Friday, and enjoyed it immensely. I only came home with a couple small sweet potatoes for the babies; they turned out to be white sweet potatoes, which will be interesting. G. bought strawberries that later made it into the salad, above. Next I would like to try out Temescal.
4. I have now seen the inside of Pixar. Or, er, inside the gates, but outside the buildings...
5. Writing for pay has been a mite vexing this week, from a number of different directions.
6. Friday night was very busy and very fun. First we [data embargoed], then ate dinner with Gina, then headed to the Hubba Hubba Revue. The band, La Plebe, was just amazing, and I loved the old-school mosh pit that popped up. Was told that G. and I are very cute on the dance floor. I saw many friends there who I hope to see more of when my ears aren't ringing.
7. I had a lovely chat with my brother this afternoon, after shamefully forgetting about his birthday last Monday. He told me fun stories about his sociology professor and who he does tech support for these days. We really should sit down and talk more often. And also maybe under less stressful circumstances on his part. (Note to E.: Good luck becoming a Master! ;) )
8. Today at the grocery store with Simone: "That baby's been out in the sun, hasn't she?" I believe the manga response to this is: "..."
