This weekend I…

  1. Went to Shul.
  2. Made pancakes.
  3. Bought a vacuum. Yes, I’ve been one year without, but only one small room is carpeted. Do need it for two area rugs and furniture though.
  4. Bought two book cases and a TV table from Ikea, put them together (I’m big!) and rearranged my living room. It seems much more usable and friendly now.
  5. Ate lunch/dinner at Soul Vegetarian. Considering it was two meals I felt perfectly justified in pigging out.
  6. Wacked about half my weed before I ran out of twine.
  7. Trimmed my front yard bushes and some of the back hard before I got tired of holding the damn hedge trimmer.
  8. Made pile of yard debris by the curb for the nice men to come by and pick up later in the week.
  9. Made a pasta dish.
  10. Watched Short Cuts. If you like Raymond Carver’s short stories, this captured the spirit of his characters well.
  11. Listened to Atlanta Jewish Talk and prepared show notes for posting.
  12. Went to Madras Saravana Bhavan for yummy Indian food. Had one of my standards, Sambar Vadai, lentil donut floating in tangy Sambar soup. I also tried something new, Bhel Puri, which was puffed rice, small potato chunks, raw onion, fried peanuts, and, er, other stuff, in a kind of sweet, light sauce.
  13. Got groceries.
  14. Got more twine and finished whacking yard.
  15. Read.
  16. Vacuumed.
  17. Took possession of Jack, Matt’s dog, for a few days.
  18. Mowed the grass.
  19. Baked a cauliflower & sweet potato thing.
  20. Posted a list to my blog.

honey’s kitchen

I’ve been driving by the “coming soon” sign for months it seems and Honey’s Kitchen is now open in East Atlanta. I haven’t been on foot by there in a while, so I got impatient this morning and started googling. It’s not completely useless to me but it’s one of those places where there’s that one thing I can eat. Not so much for vegans. At least I know there’s a tofu omelet for me if I do decided to breakfast there. I appear to be SOL for lunch though. Well, the veggie plates might work if they aren’t cooked with butter or meat. Unlikely though. Oh well.

I know it’s hard to see in this picture, but below the license plate is a scrolling LED message. I wish I could remember what it said. It was kind of a pick-up line or something.
