A quick update
I've been having internet connection issues. My connection kept failing, and since Sunday afternoon I haven't been able to connect at all. I've been spending way too much time on the phone with my internet provider and this could crash again at any moment.
On top of which, a while back my work started blocking my access to LJ, among other sites that I used to be able to get to, so I couldn't do anything from work.
Which is why my posting and commenting have been intermittent!
Other than that, though, the holiday weekend was great! I went to our local farmers' market Saturday morning, and was there longer than expected. Chef Paul Kahan, who runs a couple of restaurants in town, made a completely awesome chicken dish that used espelette pepper, which I had never heard of. Nicely spicy, and he accompanied it with a kale salad (also fantastic) and grilled red scallions and fennel.
And NBC Nightly News was filming at the market. I'm not sure when the segment will be on, however.
Saturday night, I went to see Coco Before Chanel. I enjoyed it, even if it wasn't entirely accurate. But then, much of what she said about her life wasn't, so why should this be?
I'm going to publish this before things crash again, and try to update more later.
