Just a quick update, because it feels like time for an update and I still have quite a bit of reading to do.
School: This quarter I am taking three courses and auditing a fourth. Somehow, I am getting all of my reading done and preparing for comps and other stuff. Don't ask me how, because I still am not sure how I've done it.
Cooking: Mark and I have been making some seriously delicious healthy food, if I do say so myself. Meals include things like stuffed bell peppers, cinnamon apple breakfast quinoa, kale, chicken fried quinoa, chili-lime chicken, corn salsa, and assorted other wonderful treats. We aren't eating like crazy health nuts, though--we made a chocolate cake from scratch just yesterday. It was good.
Dining: If you are ever in Chicago for Sunday brunch, we highly recommend The Publican. The bacon is out of this world, the tavern-style seating is interesting, and we can't wait to go back.
Mity Nice is a place we have come to love for picking up a burger and a glass of strawberry lemonade (for me) or wheatgrass lemonade (for him). I once ordered something there that was not a burger. I will not be doing that again anytime soon. The burgers are the best thing on the menu as far as I am concerned. Mark said that the turkey burger is nice too, FWIW.
On the dinner side of things, we tried out N9Ne during restaurant week. Service was great, food was delicious, wine pairings were fantastic, and the portions were not grossly overwhelming. It was our big Valentine's Day meal (we celebrated early this year), and it was perfect.
Weather: I now think anything above thirty degrees Fahrenheit is warm. Go figure.
That's all there is for now. An update with pictures and recipes or some such thing may be in the near future, but don't hold your breath, because I may accidentally just throw up a regression table on here and call it a day. Okay, probably not, because I would not wish regression tables upon anyone. Probably.
