Today was the day to play with the intrusive health "care" from work. I "fasted" and abstained from tea, and at 8 am we went to one of the local clinics for a flu shot and for me to have my blood drawn. Between that clinic and the clinic where my doctor works is Los Charros, a highly satisfactory place for breakfast (although not tea). We dined there, and i had nopales - cactus - in my eggs. It was a massive and delicious breakfast, breaking my fast with fresh squeezed orange juice; wandering off in a stupor was quite possible.

After dropping off the paperwork we ran off to Sunnyvale's Farmer's market. In moments i had a burgeoning bag. I was tempted by leeks and celery, the tops of which are now simmering into a stock. I'm reserving the nice parts of the leeks and the solid celery stalks for my own dining: i suspect i'll braise the leeks and then add them to the stock with some potatoes. I will never win any cooking accolades from gourmands as i believe in "souping" the parts i won't eat. Ah well.

I've taken the blankety-blank health survey ( Silly Health Quiz )

I didn't go to the 10th Annual Book Arts Jam at Foothill, nor will i join Christine at the concert tonight. Instead i'm continuing to putter putter putter, through the stacks of digital files...
