Between the weather and being busy with class, I haven't been cooking at all lately. Saturday I sauteed some greens, and I think Friday I made a hamburger. Other than that, it's been salads, crackers, and takeout. I've still been eating fairly healthy -- lots of veggies, lots of whole grains, and even the takeout's been reasonably healthy stuff -- but I'm starting to realize that this may not be a viable long-term eating plan. Maybe as I start getting more cookable veggies in my farm share I'll start to cook more. Tomorrow I think there should be sugar snap peas (possibly my most favorite vegetable) and Swiss Chard (which they do say is awfully nutritious).

Picked up my farm share today and there are STRAWBERRIES, and they are GLORIOUS. Wow. I am torn between wanting to share my strawberries with everyone I meet so that they may know the glory of my strawberries, and wanting to eat them all myself, probably before the end of the evening. Wow. I did give one to my boss, who said, "If fruit always tasted like this, I wouldn't eat candy." And I agree.

This is going to be a very healthy and veggie-filled summer for me, looks like. I was able to eat all of last weeks veggies and I think I should be able to get through all of this weeks as well, but once the harvest really picks up I am going to be in trouble. In September and October at least I will have a food-appreciating roommate to share with. And maybe I will have some parties, or bring large amounts of food to work or the museum and share.

1. Someone tried to rob my bank!

2. I really don't want to go to the Early Music Festival tomorrow. I am halfway tempted to just not show up. But I want to go to the opera Saturday night, so I will suck it up.

3. I am continuing to watch The 4400, although in some ways it is super-cheese deluxe. I hate, hate, HATE the female lead. With everyone else I think, maybe it's the terrible dialogue (and god, some of the dialogue is terrible -- who introduces herself as "the family black sheep?") that makes him/her sound like a complete idiot, but with her I'm pretty sure it's just atrocious acting. I like the plots, though, and some of the characters have potential, and there is a supercute Evil Baby.

4. Still cold at work. And today I'm wearing a sweater. It's 52 outside and raining. It's JUNE 16th! Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 62, which is 15 degrees off average. Gah.

5. Got my farmshare, which contains a beautiful lettuce, more lettuce, spinach, lettuce, and radishes. Damn you, winter! Where are my strawberries?! (On the plus side, the newsletter says that our obscenely cold spring means a fabulous sugar snap pea harvest. Mmmmm.)

6. After picking up the farmshare, I tried to walk from the pickup spot to the bus to work, and got hopelessly lost all over Roxbury and JP. Oops. Probably should have, you know, looked at a map (now that I have looked I know my bus was like a five-ten minute walk from the farmshare place). Still, I saw parts of the city I do not usually see.

7. Just finished reading Diana Wynne Jones' Dalemark Quartet. I love these books, and I think the ending of the last one is just fantastic, although perhaps too crowded for some. A lot happens in the last 20 pages or so, and a lot of loose ends are wrapped up, but it still winds up feeling like the story's just beginning, and it's terribly exciting.

8. OK, time to leave work now. Soon I will be home with warm pajamas and duvets and things, hurrah!
