weekend stuff
Aug. 19th, 2007 01:41 pmMy biggest issue with local farmers' markets is that they tend to take place 8-noon on Tuesday mornings or the like, which means I can't ever get to one without taking at least part of the day off work. (Yes, Dupont Circle is an exception to that, but it's quite a trek from here.) There is finally one that I know about taking place at a civilized time: 9 to 1 on Sundays, in the parking lot of the new Whole Foods in Fair Lakes. Being new, it's fairly small right now but we still came back with a decent haul: a couple of pounds of peaches and nectarines, a pint of assorted cherry tomatoes,an extra-leafy celery, pesto, applewood smoked mozzarella (mmmm), some salsa and some honey/spiced cider jelly. Yummy. I think lunch will be tomatoes and mozzarella, maybe with some pesto.
Yesterday was an early birthday celebration, involving a viewing of "Stardust" (which holds up very well to a second viewing, and I suspect will be just as good on the third) followed by drinks and appetizers at the Evening Star Cafe. Their wine list is so long it has a table of contents. *squee* (Basically, it's whatever's in stock at the wine store next door.) Dinner was a plate of heirloom tomatoes with basil vinaigrette and grilled ricotta and almond-crusted brie with truffle honey and Granny Smith apple slices. The original plan was to go to the Majestic Lounge, but probably unsurprisingly it was pretty packed at 10:30 on Saturday night. I hadn't been to Del Ray before, but I can definitely see the appeal of the neighborhood. (I'm not sure how old that article is; I think I'd count myself lucky to find a house there right now for only $550,000.)
Friday![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nminusone and I went to see "The Bourne Ultimatum". Word of advice: take Dramamine. If you've seen the first two movies, this shouldn't be a surprise. There was only one scene though where the camera work and on-screen action made me feel really queasy. I liked it well enough, and it was nice to have an evening out with Chris.
The rest of the day I think will be spent doing some laundry and maybe yard work out front. I also noticed this morning that The Vita Ruins are playing at Iota tonight, and I'll probably flip a coin around 6:00 to decide whether I want to trek over there.
