Fall 2011 Miscellany

Here are some neglected pics from this fall.

It doesn’t get any better.After two-and-a-half years, we finally made it over to campus to take some pics:Cass  on her Friday evening grocery shopping routine. She says she hates it but she looks really happy here. Maybe it’s because I was there to help her lug the bags home that night.And finally, Cass discovered some amazing felafel at a place called Taim. The french fries are addictive:

Healthy Eats: Falafel Sandwiches

In the city I've had some pretty bad felafel. The worst, I'd have to say, was from the food truck parked at the corner of our street, which serves up crunchy, dry, and over-salted deep-fried balls of disgrace.

Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of flavor. Stuffed in a pita with tabouli, lettuce, tomato, hummus, and greek yogurt, it's my new favorite healthy eat.
