Day 39, weekend wrap-up

Had a simple weekend, the humdrum sort, which was fine by me. This morning after church I made banana pancakes and went for a walk around the city, completing my regular errands, which today included stops at the market and the barber. I also stopped at a convenience store to replenish my supply of spearmint chewing gum — I can chew up to a pack a day if I'm not mindful.

I spent the rest of the day munching my fresh market goods — local carrots, radishes and strawberries — while rereading an old volume of Tolstoy. For dinner I concocted a garden (kitchen sink) omelette with spinach, tomato, bell pepper and scallion. The trick to a good omelette is not scrimping on the butter. Use a thick pat to coat the frying pan and your omelette will cook up golden and delicious.

I had some more strawberries for dessert. At this point in the season, they're so tender that if you don't eat them all right away, they'll go bad. So I do what I can, which today meant polishing off the carton. I finished off the night with half of a Hershey bar I found in the back of the freezer.
