semi-holidays

you know, the days in between actual holidays where no one goes to work?

san francisco is a ghost town, as is my office. me, i'm just groggy from all the r&r of the past four days, and having a bit of a withdrawal from my kitty, the bf, and getting to stay home.

dinner last night was amazing: green beans and almonds, lamb in a garlic-basil marinade, white potatoes and onions baked in olive oil and lemon juice, and a dark walnut bread with oil & vinegar...and tomorrow, i'm going to turn the lamb juices into lamb & barley soup, like i did last year. maybe add carrots and celery to the ingredients list. in any case, i have a lot of amazing leftovers to look forward to.

on another note...i have a workout consultation tonight, at 7 (i guess i didn't realize how awkward of a time 7 was going to be), as i am determined to drop the winter hibernation weight i picked up with all the candies and goodies that were so thoughtfully sent to my office.
