ok, despite it being a cloudy, windy morning, around 2pm today the weather got to be really nice (weather.com said it was 13 C, but i didn't believe that). i rode my bike to my chiropractor's office (i found a way not use mass ave and thus avoiding the psychopaths). anyway, she was really glad that i was able to run 12 miles of the boston marathon (and then 3 miles the next day) without any pain. i'm excited that i'm back into running again.
oh, and right after that i stopped by WholeFoods on Prospect St and got some groceries. as usual, i expected to buy only 2 or 3 things but ended up with about 12. :) oh well, i never waste anything, so it all gets useeventually anyway. :)
one of the things i bought there was freshly cut butternut squash (1 lb was like $2.50 or something like that). when i got home i found this recipe for Butternut Bisque and made it. If you look at the reviews, you can see that it came out really excellent (was really delicious). Even better with sour cream. Seriously, it must have been one of the best soups i've ever tasted in my life. It's really scary though, when you think that the best-tasting food is the stuff you make yourself! Especially for me..about 5 years ago, i didn't even know how to boil water (i'm not exaggerating)! Anyway, too bad Michael doesn't like butternut squash (he hates everything in the pumpkin/squash and sweet potato family), otherwise he could enjoy it as well.
Also, for the main dish i cooked some Alaskan Halibut (bought at Trader Joe's a while back), which actually turned out pretty decent. I used this seasoning mix that i paid an arm and a leg for (it was like $5 something for a small tin) but it came out good. Sometimes (a lot of times!) expensive food is worth paying for. A few days ago i paid $5.99 at Harvest for 4 chicken-apple sausages ($1.50 per sausage)...and they were definitely the best-tasting chicken sausages i have tasted yet (and probably the healthiest as well).
