A pretty good day, though mostly in the sense of retail therapy -- I didn't take a walk. :(

Lots of puttering, and I ordered Colleen's Mother's Day present (it's ok, it's right off her Amazon wish-list and she knows all about it) and pre-ordered The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. So that was good.

Somehow green stuff got left out of Colleen's last grocery order, so I went (rather reluctantly) to Zanotto's to buy same, to go with the skirt steak. The roasted brussels sprouts turned out particularly well: cut in half, toss with olive oil, sea salt, and a little crushed red pepper, place cut side down on a cookie sheet, and roast at 450 for 15-20min. Extreme yum. Also greatly to yum was the caprese-style salad of heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzerella, onions, and avacados. The skirt steak with caramelized onions was good, but it wasn't the high point of the meal by any means.

I started reading haikujaguar's Flight of the Godkin Griffin, and tuned in to her livestream for a while (where I met catsittingstill -- fun!).

Not much in the way of links, but feel free to look.
