Inspired by our friend, LP, we decided to sign up for a bi-weekly delivery of a small box of farm fresh goodies. Below are the contents from our box a few weeks ago:
Bell peppers, heirloom tomatoes, corn, carrots, mushrooms, nectarines, onions – all from local farms, to boot! I’m guilty of never buying enough fresh veggies at the store and this is what I love about this delivery service – we’re guaranteed fresh veggies every other week and supplements nicely the veggies and fruits that I do actually buy at the store. (It also serves as a guide as to what’s in season.)
This week we received (sorry, no pic): summer squash, basil, flame grapes, gypsy peppers, heirloom tomatoes, rose potatoes and 1 head of lettuce.
A Day Off
A few weeks ago, I took a much needed day off. Mads was threatening to crash the party by getting sick, but lucky for me, she held off until the following Monday to get sick. After I dropped her off at day care, I dropped off my dry cleaning and headed downtown for my mani/pedi at Bliss.
My 90 minutes of pampering was followed by lunch at the SFMOMA cafe (the food wasn’t too bad, actually), with plenty of time to explore before my allotted time slot for the Frida Kahlo exhibit. The Kahlo exhibit was just okay (imho) – I was more interested in the display of Frida’s personal photos they had on exhibit. In my pre-Kahlo visit, I came across a very pretty floral curtain.
I think that the artist spent a summer disassembling silk flowers with his family only to reassemble it into a large curtain.
The exhibit that I did enjoy was a photo exhibit by Lee Miller, model & photographer. The exhibit showcased some of her “model” photos, and most her photos from WWII. There was an amazing photo of an explosion outside of Mont Saint Michel, I believe.
At the end of the day, I realized that I need more days off. I was relaxed and refreshed for the next week. What a difference a day makes.
