Marshall and I went to the West Side Market today. It was good times, I got some cheese, bread, green onions. Didn't need so much this time, but the weather was fantastic.
I also finally sent the art package off to TV.
We did hit up the library. We borrowed two videos: Winged Migration and Mullholland Drive, I picked up two Gilbert and Sullivan CDs (including the Pirates of Penzance!), and an Iain M Banks scifi. We'll see if I get into that. The beginning was a little cheesy.
Speaking of cheese, inside I'll tell you about our dinner!
So Marshall came over this evening and we divided the spoils from the Market. For dinner we made salsa (5 chopped tomatos, one half a red onion, juice of a lime or two, some cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper), a fantastic salad (spinach, apples, gorgonzola, and Marshall taught me how to candy walnuts!), and a Tortilla Espan~a.
Although I've watched TW make tortilla before, this was the first time I'd had a hand in cooking it myself. It turned out quite well. In brief: 4 potatos, boiled for 20 minutes or so, then sliced. Combine with one small onion, chopped, and saute in olive oil until the potatos are cooked through. Add this to a bowl with your 5 eggs, beaten, and let stand for 10 or 15 minutes. Pour this mixture into a hot oiled skillet, cook until the bottom is just browning, then use a plate to flip and cook the other side. You should've added some salt and pepper as well.
The tortilla turned out very well for us, we then got all kinds of crazy and ate it with salsa and sour cream. Not traditional, but tasty as hell.
I miss TW, who's in Boston. I'm also a little bit jealous, since I'm stuck here to chill in Cleveland. Tomorrow will be a good day, however, early morning gym date with DWAN, then breakfast with a whole crew, and then the apple store and library paperback sale.
