Our last day off was 3 weeks ago, and I'm only uploading my photos now! Neil cooking in a dream of a kitchen and dinner of farro with his version of a Filipino eggplant omelette. Looks like another busy week ahead-- our storefront is coming along, we've got a photo shoot and usual prep, and I'm giving flu shots every day too! Looking forward to a day of rest soon. Hopefully, it won't be another 3 weeks...

From NPR

I've been spending a lot of time during the week prepping food for our weekend market-- rolling spring rolls in particular. To pass the time, I listen to a lot of NPR. There's always something interesting on and a lot to learn about. I'd like to share something I heard this afternoon. All Things Considered interviewed a group of Iraq and Afghanistan vets, many of whom are disabled, as they climbed Yosemite's Half Dome to honor the anniversary of Sept. 11th. One of the soldiers who lost his leg reflected on how he didn't know when he set out that day that he would be injured and said, "Death is kinda around the corner just about everywhere you go. You can't choose how you're gonna go. But you can choose how you're gonna live." Thought it was a good reminder to keep things in perspective. 

 My friend Mandy is due in two weeks! Just some photos we took yesterday in the park. So excited for them!!
