I had a wonderful day at work today and it's been a great couple of weeks. On Monday Vina and I went Mountain View Farms to pick up Sam's farm share. Vina came up with this idea of incorporating more local foods into Sam's menu as a project for school and now we're beginning to implement it. I'm super excited. We picked up four heads of lettuce, various mixed salad greens, scallions, radishes and fresh herbs. Today I used the fresh thyme to make a delicious vinaigrette dressing, cleaned the lettuce and greens and tossed them all together. Then Vina and I came up with a salad special and sampled it. It was fantastic! And my hands still smell of thyme and fresh lettuce. It's wonderful to get fresh, local vegetables again and get creative with them.
Yesterday I took a break from work to do my own grocery shopping. On the way home I stopped by Flayvor's and tried the Hadley Grass ice cream. It was surprisingly light and delicious. I also picked up fresh asparagus and strawberries. Mmmm!
This past weekend I moved into my new/old house. I moved back to Walnut St., which is where I lived last summer, just with different roommates. It's good to be back in the house. I still love it, even though it has a bit of a different feel. I'm much more comfortable here than I was in my old place, plus it's a quick walk into town so I'm driving less.
This coming weekend Jiggle, my mixed ultimate team, has a tourney in Devens, MA. I can't wait. I think we have a lot of potential and I'm really excited for tournament play again.
