fabulous food

so this weekend- saturday i went to the sing, and when i came home, d had all these little bowls of vegetables all chopped up, like i was on some cooking show. i called christopher and he unfortunately had double booked, so it was just d and me and ch and hugo. for appetizers we made garlicky pita chips and homemade hummus. we had a delicious salad of arugula, endive and mint, with yellow peppers, shitake mushrooms, small white beans, asparagus, and golden raisins. the main course was risotto, with red onions and my saute mix which included all sorts of greens, spinach, chard of all colors, more arugula, and many weeds i couldn't name. and for desert, a strawberry rhubarb crisp. it was very super vegan spring, and we had a delicious, delightful time.

sunday i sang again, then d picked me up, cause one of her friends was having a barbeque in hyde park. we stopped by the co-op and i got all wistful. i saw dennis, my favorite bagger stacking up carts. and they no longer carry tamarind tree instant indian meals! wah-wah. now i"m REALLY gonna ration the ones i've saved up. the bbq was fine- i was really tired after singing, and so it was hard to be social with all those strangers. d lit the fire and grilled, so i was on my own for most of the party.. i guess i often go to parties where i don't know anyone by myself, so i don't know why i was feeling so whiney about this set-up, but it's DIFFERENT if you're there with your girlfriend who knows people. oddly enough, the host's brother was there, and works at a hyde park bike shop, and sold me my bike three years ago or however long it's been.

but there's one more food story in me about the weekend, because today was a holiday, so d was off, and she made breakfast! i was SO not in the mood for omlettes, and i had all this fruit, and i was worried about what d was making.... but she made CREPES! and they were perfect crepes. i can't even describe. here, pictures for all.
