Weekend

To commemorate my final days living the bachelorette life, I had a very girly Saturday. Fran and I went shopping at Russo’s, the best market in the whole world. We bought a ton of beautiful produce for a fraction of the Bread and Circus price. Russo’s has every available type of fruit and vegetable available – take eggplants for example: Asian eggplant, Italian baby eggplant, white eggplant, conventional eggplant. We chose pomegranates, pomellos, Serrano chilies, three types of potatoes, apples, pears, oranges, lettuces, heirloom tomatoes, shallots, and the prettiest leeks I have ever seen.


I bought a microwave, which I don’t think qualifies as a girly activity – although Fran and I did spend several minutes debating the aesthetics of each microwave in the Target kitchen appliance isle. We were no more annoying than the many women on cell phones – their conversations reduced to a shrill “Ohmigod! I’m at Target.”


We made a tasty potato-leek gratin, and orange marmalade cake. Please admire the presentation a la Fran:




Jes came over and we ate food, and read passages from the Harlequin romance “novels” Fran and I picked up at Target. Who knew Target dealt in smut?


I spent Sunday cleaning up the kitchen and then messing it up all over again as I put some more fabric on the walls:
