Before the glory fades...



I must tell you about the glorious meal I had tonight. We went to Millennium, one of SF's highest-rated vegan restaurants, located in the Savoy Hotel. For an appetizer we both had sweet corn soup, which wasn't that sweet. For my entree, I had tempeh batons in an Indian-type curry sauce with peach, mint and cucumber chutney and sundry veggies, which was interesting. But now...drumroll...happy place...gasp...ecstatic expressions...DESSERT.

I had strawberry shortcake. The layers consisted of white corn shortcake, white chocolate cream, strawberries, kiwi and some other fruits. It was #^(%# awesome. Words cannot express. I sunk to the table in a fit of ecstasy. (See "food coma" picture.) I was also very tired because we walked about 5 miles today and I did an hour and 20 minutes of rigorous yoga.

It was better than the other yoga center. It did have a carpet instead of a hardwood floor, which took some getting used to, in terms of traction. And the teacher invited people to do handstands against the wall, but there was only a very small wall. It was mostly curtains. So the rest of us entertained ourselves while they experimented with going up into handstand through a "donkey kick" and a modified crow pose, with knees resting on the back of right-angle elbows.

It must be said: the guys are cute here. So if anyone is looking...

While I went to yoga, D went bike riding and took a good picture of the Golden Gate Bridge.

It's foggy tonight, so there's a thin, ethereal, romantic fluffy layer over everything...

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
