notes from an evening
Jun. 11th, 2002 08:30 amParking annoyance: I parked in a marked, legal spot at the grocery store, parallel to the building. When I came out, there was a red car parked next to me (not a spot), and another car behind me (definitely not a spot), parking me in. I went in, they paged the owner of Mass plate whatever, and she came out and moved her car... to another place that was striped as not-parking. And she said to me, as I got in my car, how the red car shouldn't have parked there. WTF? You park me in, then try to imply you didn't do anything you oughtn't've? Very odd.
Another night of cooking real food, hooray. Somehow the meal ended up sponsored by alliums (allia?): almost everything had some oniony thing in it. I made spicy eggplant (onions and eggplant cubes sauteed, with San-J Szechuan spicy sauce added. yum), a leek-chive-fresh oregano frittata, roasted potatoes and onions with rosemary, and a tomato basil salad with balsamic vinaigrette (intending, originally, to put scallions in...). I was happy with how the food came out (and thanks to
cthulhia for providing impetus to cook at all).
I went out for ice cream with a couple of friends. I hadn't had Cristina's ice cream before (Inman Square), and it's very good. I tried "chocolate moose," which was quite chocolatey. There were a bunch of other chocolate flavors on the menu, too: I wouldn't mind a comparison taste test some time... I also had a taste of their ginger ice cream. From what I remember of the JP Licks ginger ice cream, this was a bit less sweet and m ore gingery. But I had the JP Licks a while ago, so this is just impression based on memory. All this ice cream goodness with a background of Madonna music from the 80s...
Oh, and I got to make silly faces at a friend's baby, which is always entertaining. I may have given him his first 'eggs' on his knees... and he seemed to like it.
