Made a lil trip to Sur La Table to get a shallow baking dish and some foil — but no luck, because Sur La Table had no glass baking dishes, and no foil at all.

Clearly, I not only can’t cook very well, but I can’t even shop to prep for cooking very well. Ah — The trials and tribulations of making blue potatos!

However, I had a nice lil time browsing around Sur La Table, which has A LOT of eco-friendly bamboo stuff — bowls, cutting boards, salad tongs, you name it.

Also, if you’ve been envious of my cute red wine bag — which if you’re not you should be cuz, really, I get compliments on it all the time and see it as a nice way to intro people to the idea of bringing one’s own grocery bag — you can get them here.

The bags come in smaller sizes too, presumably for beer, or maybe Yoohoo –

Summer hearts the salad spinner she got at Sur La Table, but I’m holding off on getting that until I get a more robust balcony garden going. What’s holding me back: The farmers’ market’s like 15 blocks from me — which I usually opt to walk though I can ride my bike — which is a bit far to be hauling live plants for my balcony.

Thus, I need to follow through on a long, 4-step process to get a salad spinner. 1. Go to Helen’s Cycles and get a lil bike tuneup, which it needs, while buying a basket. 2. Bike over to Farmers’ market and buy little lettuces. 3. Manage to grow lettuce without killing it, then harvest. 4. Buy salad spinner to make yummy salads –

It’ll be a while before I’m spinning salads.
