kevin and i have five bikes in total. thankfully, two of them, the beater bikes, are currently residing in my parents' garage in holmdel. that leaves us with three bikes, two his and one mine, which we have been shuffling between the office, guest room, and living room.
after moving our beloved 85" r&b reese out of its little nook in the office, we decided that the wall opposite of the door would be a good spot to hang the bikes. i was drooling for the designer knife+saw bike shelf in walnut, but i could not ignore a similar one at cb2 (for 1/6th the price). after a bit of measuring and math, we finally got them up! there's something so empowering about being able to do small home projects together! kevin's bike is above and mine is below.
the third one, a tri bike, is still hanging out in the dining area attached to its trainer. lol. not enough wall space!
for dinner, i wanted to try a dish that my friend, daisy, had raved about making quite regularly on weeknights: pork larb. pork larb is a type of laotian salad which uses ground meat, fish sauce, shallots, and lots of fragrant herbs. i found a few recipes online, and then followed the one which suggested the highest fish sauce+lime juice+herbs ratio to meat. it was quite easy and healthy, as just the shallots are fried and ground pork is cooked through. the other ingredients (cilantro, thai basil, mint, scallions, like juice, fish sauce, and thai chilies), are mixed in by hand afterwards. we wrapped them in butter lettuce leaves, complemented with short-grains white rice. super yummy! thanks dais for the suggestion!
