every part of my body was sore this morning when i finally dragged my sad self out of bed! and it was still miserably hot and humid outside. kevin and i made our way to dimsum in chinatown, but hurried back after we realized we were both exhausted from saturday's run and the heat.
what do we do on a day like this?
kevin set up a time-lapse of our fiddle leaf fig tree, which is growing three new leaves, took a couple naps, and spent most of the evening working on some pet project which involves pythons, pandas, and data structures. hahaha ... i love how quirky computer-related stuff can be.
i ... was very random. after finishing the series finale of gossip girls (6 seasons x 22 shows/season = 130 episodes ahhh), i caught up on a recently acquired book about famous woodblock prints, and got cracking in the kitchen. we made one batch of granola and used the last burdock root with carrots to make kinpira gobo.
lastly, i was craving a big slice of rhubarb pie or something to stuff my face with, so i decided to try out the saltie recipe for olive oil cake. their OOC is super tasty because it has anise seeds, a crunchy outer crust, and unexpected bursts of kosher salt! i've tried making olive oil cake a few times, but it never comes out as tasty as i'd like, or as tasty as saltie's. their recipe is interesting because it includes unequal amounts of egg whites and yolks (more yolks than whites), anise seed, and lemon zest (instead of orange zest/liquor).
bon appetit! i will post the recipe tonight!
