1. I bought some extra tilapia fillets at Whole Foods last weekend as I wasn't sure that we had enough for Easter dinner (turns out the fillets D had bought actually had two fillets per package, one on top of the other; needless to say, we had plenty of fish). I cooked up both tilapia fillets last night -- and ate one of them. I seasoned the fillet with a combo of the lemon and garlic peppers I'd used on Sunday, along with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous shake of herbes de provence. I served myself the fish alongside a side of rigatoni and asparagus, which I tossed together with a little bit of butter, juice from a lemon wedge, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and some freshly ground black pepper.
2. This guy and I have been bonding all week while D has been out of town doing some fieldwork in Tennessee. Everyday we've gone for two hour-long walks, so I've been getting some good exercise in. He's been rocking out the housetraining and we've got "sit" figured out pretty well. Now if he'd just get "down" and "stay"! I think Leroy would definitely benefit from some formal obedience classes, and it looks like there are a few options here in town.
3. My parents brought along a bottle of Snapping Turtle cabernet sauvignon, and I have to say it's quite good. Though we shared most of the bottle over Easter dinner, there was enough left over for a glass last night, which I enjoyed along with a fine selection of chocolate Easter candy. Dessert of champions!

4. This weekend marks the closing weekend of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, or PIFA. The festival, which began on April 7, has featured a variety of dance, educational, film, art, music, theatre, food, fashion, and other arts-related events.
On Saturday, Broad Street will be transformed into a Parisian street fair, complete with French street vendors and performers, music, and even a Ferris wheel. The evening will end with a performance by La Compagnie Transe Express, an aerial acrobatic group. D and I still need to get to the Kimmel Center to see the evening mini Eiffel Tower light show and grab a couple of fresh crepes from the crepe cart.

5. I've got my eyes on this recipe to make this weekend. D brought home a black & white cookie a few weeks ago from the Penn library, and I've been dying to make a batch at home ever since.
