this weekend

we had a pretty damn sunny and beautiful weekend here in brooklyn, ny. on saturday sarah and I went to the greenmarket and picked up a bunch of summer squash, some starter potted herbs, and a lemon cucumber. the basil and cilantro got put in planters and sent out to the fire escape, the squash got sauteed with onions and eaten with a peanut sauce, and the lemon cucumber got talked about, examined, and eventually eaten. it looks cool but pretty much tasted like a regular cucumber.

after all this food insanity I went on a long run up to fort greene only to see elizabeth playing in a horn section on stilts in the fort greene park (!), and then over to prospect park and back home via carroll gardens. it got pretty hot late in the day and I really ran out of gas at the end, at 7 miles it was the longest run I've done in a while.

last night we went to the beer garden in astoria to hang out with friends, huge line as I guess it is pretty trendy now. today I banged out another 4 miles, played some music and took a nap. pretty awesome and perfect weekend.
