well a fun weekend all around. great thai food on friday along with one of the best bloody marys that i've ever had. all that and farm fresh eggs! nothing like a true quaint family owned restaurant.

saturday was drizzle and rain fun that caused futbol to be cancelled; but allowed for quite fun criterium (cycling) racing downtown. that plus good music and much frivolity. ended ok as i took a decent spill on the way home due to too much race watching and celebrating; but there's nothing like bruises and cuts to illustrate why riding is so much fun.

i was finally able to relax yesterday and get some good food in: lamb shank in homemade stock from last week along with some mini tomatillos and mushrooms. i forgot to add the cilantro sauce to go with it; but i think i should be able to combine that with the sweet corn into something great.

now to look forward to a week of extreme busyness.

joy.
