It was a pretty low-key weekend around here given I was brought down with a case of sinus pressure and sniffles. No fun! Luckily, the weather was cold outside so I didn't feel all that bad spending the majority of the weekend lounging on the couch. One bonus of lying on the couch was getting the chance to read a couple of books, including Rakesh Satyal's Blue Boy and Alison Arngrim's Confessions of a Prairie Bitch (Arngrim played the nefarious Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, a show I loved as a child and may or may not have also re-watched in college.) I recently got my Philadelphia library card, and have been voraciously reading (and requesting books) ever since. I find that when I am in a new place, one of the first things I do is get my local library card. How can you not love the library -- tons of books and all for free! (Well, as long as you remember to return 'em on time!) On Saturday night we put together a random meal, one of the constituents being tomato, basil, and mozzarella bruschetta. (One of my favorite flavor combinations.) This appetizer is a no-brainer -- just slice up some bread, a tomato (I purchased our first heirloom tomato of the season, and oh, it was so good, even if it cost $5.99/lb), add some fresh basil leaves, fresh mozzarella, drizzle with olive oil, and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Done and done. (And delish.)
