Update

Not too much going on here- I just felt like I should update this blog for the two people who read this. We had a very interesting day shopping for new cars and realizing that they are very very expensive. Plus then we'd have to actually worry about our car and something happening to it and dinging it and denting it and changing the oil, rather than drive them into the ground like we have been doing. It's been working pretty well- no payments, minimum insurance, and get another beater every year or two, but it's grown wearisome and the game of "Will it Start?" and "What's that Noise?" is getting old.

In other news, I've been making bread a lot using a really awesome recipe. If you google "minimalist no-knead bread" it's sure to come up. It's the best bread I've ever made at home, and better than most of the local bread, definitely on par with Europa but without the fermented flavor since you're just using a commercial yeast. It really is no-knead, but it coms out with an awesome crust and lots of bubbles and whatnot.

Kisun turns two in four days, and she must have got the memo because she is definitely a two year old. The word "NO!" just echos in my ears constantly. We went to kindergym at Spenard rec center last Friday and it was awesome until literally 2 minutes before we were going to leave, Kisun fell and cut her lip and bled and cried. It was so sad. It's amazing how fast they heal.

Middle Way Cafe is now open, for everyone who has been waiting. Same cool vibe, awesome new space. I hope they make a kid's area so I can have a nice place to sit with the bean without having to stress and chase her the whole time. The owners are really cool, and the floor alone is worht a visit. I just stopped for coffee and a pastry, but I cannot ait to have lunch there. Marty's New York Bagel Deli is moving in down the way, spoiling the awesome vibe that strip mall had going. God, that place sucks. I don't remember why I went to the one on Dimond, but they screwed up my order, shorted me on my change, and the soup was really really icky. If you insist on trying it out, I recommend you stop by Middle Way and have some Cardamom Coffee Cake to get the taste out of your palate afterwards. Or just skip the bagel deli and go for the sure thing.
Alright, That's enough random pointless space-filling chit-chat. More later.
