Guess I'd better pay all of these bills that arrived while I was on vacation. Oh wait, I don't have any stamps. Bah.

OK, about time to try out that bean recipe now that I have all the ingredients. The idea of adding salt when soaking them is intriguing, since The Clueless Vegetarian warns that adding salt while cooking makes them tough.
Whoops, I almost forgot to weigh everything so I'll have some idea of how many calories this has.
Aaand, they're off and soaking!

Off to check mail, because paying bills is so much fun.

Bike's ready! Time for another transit adventure.

Well, the bicycle's in much better shape but it will need another round of new parts soon. The chainring and derailleur wheels are seriously worn, and I may want to give some thought to the front shock absorbers, which are entirely kaput.
On my way home I stopped off at Whole Foods to check out their pickle selection, and got a jar of Bubbies kosher dills and a tub of Alexander Valley "Manhattan-style" fresh pickles. The latter do come within shouting distance of the pickles I so vividly remember from my visits to Manhattan, but I wouldn't complain if they were a little saltier. The Bubbies dills are a lot stronger, and good enough, but I think I may as well stick with Vlasic dills to help stay on plan to lose the weight I gained on vacation.
