Ever have one of those 'two steps forward, one step back' kind of days? That's what it felt like -- I swear I was busy and on my feet practically all day long, but now that it's essentially over I'm looking around trying to figure out what all exactly I accomplished. I'm sure I can come up with something if I think about it long enough. But eh, I'm too tired right now....

I did manage to make sushi for dinner (enough for several meals actually), as requested by DS. He loves it, and together we stopped by our neighborhood corner asian market this morning for the necessary ingredients. I ended up spending nearly $40 there -- but stocked up on lots of fresh produce (apples, potatoes, eggplant, onions, grapes, bananas, etc) which we were running dangerously low on (the bananas were a particularly good deal -- organic for .20 cents a pound!). Anyway, after much steaming and blanching, plus chopping, chopping, and more chopping, I cranked out our vegetarian sushi rolls (with corn on the cob on the side -- 5 ears for a dollar) this evening, to DS's delight. He snarfed his -- with horseradish no less. What a kid.....

Speaking of DS, yesterday we reserved his/our garden plot out at the community gardens. He's really anxious to get started, and already has definite ideas about what he wants to plant. I'm so glad he has such an interest! Here's to you, Mother Nature -- may you treat us to a glorious gardening season (clink).....
