Today began a bit slow but eventually we went on a bit of a bike ride with the superlative Kyle Stephens. After visiting the local Target, and then with hunger in the mind, we biked to Sultan's Market. This was a bit of a ride across town but the weather wasn't all that bad and after a mile or so it stopped being so cold.
Proceed to have the best falafel sammich in recent history. One thing about Chicago to not be overlooked is that alot of restaurants are BYOB.
Next on the agenda is Myopic Books. It's not as large as John K King but has a much more navigable selection with alot of new and used items. Lots of browsing occurred and I eventually found a few good one's such as 'Naked in the Woods:Joseph Knowles and the Legacy of Frontier Fakery' by Jim Matavalli, and 'Kavalier and Clay' by Micheal Chabon.
Cue more chilling, biking, and the first real snow of our trip. Approximately 4 inches.

Cold weather promoted a bit of indoor nesting for the better part of the morning.
Lots of cat sleeping on belly while internetting and drinking tea.
There was success in finding someone to rideshare with us from Des Moines, Iowa to Seattle...
Later myself, James, and Kyle assembled the most killingest falafel combo to date. Homemade ultra garlic-blackbean-spicy hummus, deadly tzaziki, and way-the-hell-better-than-last-time-we-tried-to-make-falafel falafel. Sadly we ran out of pita but just made delicious salad stuff instead. The hummus, all 30+ ounces of it, did not make it 24 hours before being consumed.
After the feast we walked over to a house show. I cannot recall the names of any of the bands that played but it was billed as psych rock. None of that happened.
Can I have your recipe for deadly tzaziki please.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Jamz has it in his head. I just make de hummmus
