Chicken and Waffles - Vegetarian Style

All of the photos have a purple filter from my iphone case.

On Thursday night we went to a bar called ... wait for it ... Bar.

On Sunday, we went to the Farmers Market. It's downtown under the 83 freeway. It's really fun and has a ton of stuff, including a table of mushrooms.

Then we saw the Art Car.

I made really good leek and potato soup last night for dinner from stuff we bought at the market.

I also made Derek go to Bikram Yoga with me yesterday. It was really hard! I'm pretty sure it's impossible to hold your foot straight out in front of you when you're dripping in sweat. Can't be done. I'm going again today.

The washing machine tried to eat me.

Yesterday, while I was doing laundry, the washing machine lid fell and hit me in the face.

While ma and I were in NY, we saw a 'magnificent specimen' exhibit at the Chelsea Market. All these guys competed in a beard and moustache contest in Alaska, and this guy from Austin took glamour shots of all of them. The fox-head guy was one of my favorite.

We also went to McSorley's and drank some beers and watched the Laker game. Knuckle Sandwich? ha!

Acrobatic Manuvers and such

Side Note: You may think that sustituting a paper clip for a bobby pin is a good idea at the time but it isn't.

Ok, so let me tell you...

Thursday

The dirty old man, who owns the pharmacy next to my work and who is married and has children, kind of hit on me and bought me flowers. Sick.

Friday

I met up with some friends at the Tiki Hut for drinks and then we went and saw Gogol Bordello at the Rams Head. It was amazing. So fun. Then we went out to breakfast at 2am and I ate french toast.

Saturday

There was a Kinetic Sculpture Race through the streets of Bmore. It was sponsored by The Visionary Art Museum. People dress up in these crazy costumes and competed in various obstacles throughout the town and harbor.

Our friends Wally and Jillian invited us to go to Wally's dad's private island. His dad owns half of an island off the coast of Maryland, close to Annapolis. It's called St Helena Island and you can only get there by boat. Honestly. Google it. Before they were the owners, it was a rehab school for disabled children. Kinda creepy. There is all this crazy old brick structures. It's really awesome.

Sunday

Had a really good brunch with Cassie. Did some laundry. BBQ at Bank Street. Derek watched our veggie garden grow in our backyard. We have cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, spinach, lettuce, sweet peas, rosemary, basil, mint, strawberries, cilantro, parsley, and lemon verbena.
