Which means no more lugging 8 bags of groceries and 14 lb. boxes of cat litter on the train, no more spending the better part of a day (not to mention much of my rather limited energy) making trips to the butcher, the fishmonger, the fruit and vegetable market, and various specialty markets just to get our basics for the week... THEY WILL BRING THEM TO MY DOOR.

May 28, 2005 — Theme Song
Baby, I know you're wondering
Why I won't go over to your place
Cause I'm not to sure about how you feel
So I'd rather go at my own pace
And I know and you know that if we get together
Emotions will go to work
And I may do something I might regret the next day
And end up hurt
Oh I don't know
That's the way that I feel
I'm so afraid of a one night deal
I wonder if I take you home would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight...
"I Wonder If I Take You Home" - Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam

Apparently, this is the unofficial neighborhood theme song. Or at least, the fact that for the last week and a half, I have heard it at least once daily, blaring from various storefronts, back yards, and hoopties leads me to believe it is.
It's going to be a long summer.

It's May 25th, and I'm wearing tights. And my heavy winter coat.
Mother Nature, you SUCK.

Served with a salad of tossed mesclun and heirloom tomatoes, it was a delicious light meal.
The tart recipe can be found in the June 2005 issue of Cooking Light magazine, on newsstands now.

May 23, 2005 — Made of Bad.
I have eaten not one but TWO croissants today, one of them filled with dark chocolate.
I regret nothing.
