I haven't been eating as well as I should since my return from San Francisco, so I went to the Greenmarket today and bought greens and flowers (the flowers were my clever substitution for cake). Also bread, cheese and apples, although part of the problem is that I've been living on apples and cheese since Wednesday.

The craze for spring greens has gone too far: they are selling bunches of dandelion in the market, about $1.50/bunch. Really. Well, now I don't need to feel so guilty about the state of my garden in Oxford. I can always claim that I'm growing the dandelions for food. I was rather unsympathetic to my father's complaints about broccoli rabe ("It's a weed!" he said. "It's failed broccoli!") but I draw the line at dandelions.

My apartment now smells faintly of lilacs. I really hope that I'm not about to discover an allergy to them.

I love how lilacs look and we have a huge bush out in the yard, but try and bring them in the house and I get such a headache. :(

We don't have many in San Francisco--the weather is wrong for them--so I think I'm just now realizing that they make me sniffle. Oh well, I'm used to learning from my mistakes.

Apples! Cheese!

Have you been learning from me? Apples & cheese are pretty much the main staple of my diet. It's how I maintain that girlish figure of mine.

And the heroin.

Is that how you do it? Well, I'm going break away from the apples and cheese this evening--there's a steak in my fridge just waiting for me...
