14 delicious red gold nectarines are mine. Yessss! Now I just have to hope they last a week, because there's no way I'm eating that many by myself in a shorter amount of time. Spent the morning with my cousin and her two kids (ages 3 and 1) -- seriously, I'm exhausted. I really admire parents. They have patience and energy that I just don't have. And working parents on top of that -- total props.
We went to a bakery before hitting the farmer's market and got these heavenly chocolate croissants. I forget the name of the bakery. Anyway, I've known and loved chocolate croissants before, but none of them have ever had this same kind of texture, where it's a *true* flaky and buttery croissant, but with a layer of chocolate baked into the middle. (Previously they've been croissant-like, but wasn't as soft or flaky or yummy.)
My icon is therefore Amanda with a pastry, though I certainly wasn't making that face when I was eating mine. :)) This is also my opportunity to rave about Ugly Betty and how marvelous Becki Newton is. <3 her and the show, though I've only seen S1 and a tiny part of S2.

corianderstem over for dinner last night. The Zantac worked!! I totally had a glass of wine without turning red, getting heart palpitations, or a headache! Very exciting. Tell all your Asian friends!! The chili (recipe of which I actually got from my dinner guest) was really good, but now I'm inspired to experiment on it some more. Last night I added ground cumin, half a bottle of Corona, and fresh garlic. Next time I'm going to try adding a seeded jalapeno to give it some kick, some tomatoes, and coffee!
Heynoelleleithe, I totally went back to the market and got some honeycrisp apples. Either I was on crack the day I first saw them, or they changed their prices over the weekend, but this time they were $3.99/lb. >< Still, I got a few of them and they do have a great texture. They're not quite as sweet as Fuji apples, but then maybe that's just the selection they had (or the one I had in particular). I like them!
Now I've got a whole chicken in the oven, because they were on sale and I've been craving rotisserie chicken. And obviously baking a chicken is not rotisserie, but for my craving it's close enough.
