most recent explorations

On Friday night, i had the great pleasure of making samosas for the first time. Aside from a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome resulting from rolling out the dough, it was a wonderful experience - delicious! especially with mint chutney, mmmm.
Saturday morning found me on the good ol' Red Line, heading down to Irving Park to a farmer's market. i went nuts and bought as much as i could carry home (not a huge amount because the getting home wasn't easy - a mile walk to the train through slushy, foot-deep snowy sidewalks, then an hour on the train, transferring twice - but it was worth it!) i walked out with honey, maple syrup, cheese, potatoes, soap in both bar and liquid form, lotion (all the body products made of goat's milk!), and everything produced within 100 miles.
I spent my afternoon snowshoeing - i trekked over to the lake, walking on the space between the sidewalk and the street where all the snow gets chucked, and then walking on the huge drifts of snow all along the beach. it was awesome. everyone i passed on the way to the beach looked at me like i was endearingly insane. my legs were tired by the time i got home, since i am *not* a bow-legged walker naturally.
i am trying to convince myself to go snowshoe again, but somewhere else, but i am also thinking i need to clean ...
do i care enough about the superbowl to find a place to watch it?
