(no subject)
Aside from all the snow yesterday, it was a good weekend. In reverse order:
- Yesterday, many errands were run, the New Place was visited, groceries bought and meals cooked. I can heartily recommend Trader Joe's Chili Lime Tilapia (god, that's good), and we made a smoky black bean soup for the week's lunches. Yesterday evening, we ate tilapia and black bean soup while watching "Thank You for Smoking". All the way around, a really nice evening.
- Saturday, we did running class in the morning (training up for the Soldier Field 10-Miler), then putzed around most of the day and then to Landmark in the evening for dinner. Their short ribs were decent, but the awesomeness of Landmark in general was reaffirmed by their ability to make me like brussel sprouts (which I ordinarily hate), as well as the fantasticness of their desserts. Seriously, a fresh-deep-fried cider doughnut with cinnamon ice cream and spiced apples is my new idea of heaven.
- Friday, I hung out with my sister, ate a nice dinner and watched "Tropic Thunder". Capsule review: fun, a little uneven, but good times. They really should have used Jack Black to better effect, but Robert Downey, Jr. was fantastic as always.
And a note to Nature In General: you can stop with the snow ANY DAY NOW.
