Weekend

- Good grief, I love Domenica's half-price pizza and drinks happy hour. (In fact, going back today.)
- On Friday evening I drank a Baci di Noci - bourbon, walnut liquer, and I think some citrus peel squeezed over the top - scrumptious. So on Saturday I made this cake with walnut oil (and some chopped rosemary, and used grapefruit instead of lemon) - pretty good although I lack the patience to get all of the syrup into the cake. (And then on Sunday I went to find some pants and had to go a size up - so I'm slicing and freezing the rest of the cake in small portions.)
- Spring is in full swing here when I get sweaty enough doing yoga (in my home, with the windows open, not particularly aggressively) to inhale sweat in downward dog. (Lovely, I know.)
- This also means that sitting in the shade with iced tea, or listening to live music outdoors as the sun goes down, is a piercing pleasure. (Soon it'll be too hot for those activities to be reliably enjoyable.)
- The cake's remaining syrup went pretty well with some cava and mint leaves on a blanket under a tree by the bayou.
