    My diet for the past four days has consisted of cappuccino, [gluten-free] zucchini bread, and chips.  So, so many chips, most of them containing garlic, so it was a convenient week for Eric to be sick, if you know what I’m saying.

    No more crappy $5+ wastes at Starbucks; now it takes me three minutes to have a perfect latte or cappuccino for about $0.50/ cup (amortizing the cost of the machine).

    And the best part is that now my kitchen office smells like my grandmother’s apartment on Sunday evenings when I was a kid.

    The zucchini bread, well, sort of sucks.  But I made a ton of it, so it’s going to get eaten.

    I miss the days of easy baking with gorgeous, wheaty flour. And pizza.  And pasta.  Oh my god, pasta.

    Xanthan gum is hardly a decent replacement.

    Over at my cousins’ gluten-full house, we found this bagel,

    which had been left home alone while the family went away for the week, and subsequently grew more species of mold than I’d ever seen on a single item.

    (Hi, Aunt Renie, are you horrified?)

    At the farmer’s market, I picked up some of these and some of these:

    And made something which I was too hungry to photograph before eating.  I know, Sanjay, I should document what I eat.

    I went on another Metalliferous run with my mother, who’s going to be the next David Yurman.

    I met a dog that looks more like a cow than most.

    I listened to a lifetime’s worth of non-stop drilling.

    And I watched continued construction antics.

    (Construction-site dancing.)

    Okay, that’s it.  Tanks A Lot for reading.
