I love food. Love love love.
There are few things more exciting to me.
As I type, I am smearing cream cheese on jalepeno smokies...
Um. Portion control. It's all about portion control.

I just rode my bike to the West Side Market.
Here's what I got:
-4 bunches saffron pasta
-4 bunches lemon pepper pasta
-4 oz. basil pesto
-1 lb. jalepeno cheddar and cajun smokies
-4 of some strange and delicious asian sesame pastry
-1 oz. steak seasoning mix to be used with oil as a salad dressing
-red leaf lettuce
-3 avocados
-3 lemons
-2 limes
-1 bunch cilantro
-1/4 lb. Irish cheddar
1/2 lb. stuffed green olives

I probably would have kept going, but my backpack was stuffed.
I only spent $30!
All that amazing, fresh food for so cheap.
Hooray for Cleveland.

On a related note, the bike ride to University Circle went really well.
There's a bike lane along most of the new Euclid Corridor, and it's only about 16 miles round trip. Next Sunday's bike destination will be the zoo, the Sunday after that will be Lakeview Cemetery... there's so much to do!

I'm putting off running on the Wii. I've gotten up to 5.5 miles in 30 minutes in the free run, though, and lost about 5 pounds between April and May. I really should continue.
Especially because I'm going to have and Ohio City Pasta FEAST tonight.

Yeah!

Sundays seem to be consistently good days.
This is probably because it's the only day of the week neither of us work.

Last week, it was 85 degrees.
We rode our bicycles from the Steel Pit to Edgewater with stops at Target, Johnny Mangos and Gypsy - a total of 22 miles.
I got my first sunburn of the season. Whoops.

Today's plan is more bike riding, with a food stop at the Tap House to eat something off this amazing brunch menu. Then ride Euclid toward University Circle.

I'm glad I don't feel too awful after my bottle of wine last night- 2 glasses at the Cedar Lee while watching Ghostbusters (!) and two more at Prosperity.

Oh, yeah, and free comic book day was a total success!

Ok, I'm off to frolic.
