Hello spring, you cheeky bitch!
Your sunshine and warm weather are already making everything all better. I have so much more energy this morning than I have in ages. I spent part of my morning researching yoga and dance classes. We've had two grilled dinners in the past couple days, and we've kept up on the dishes. Tonight we're having roasted lamb with balsamic fig reduction and then we might just start digging up the yard. I love you, spring.
Yesterday was the Pennsylvania Restaurant Expo. It's beyond silly for us to even go to this thing because it's all meat meat meat fried this prepackaged cheesecake etc, but I actually did learn about a couple of things of interest AND Penn Mac had the bomb cheese table laid out right next to the craft beer distributor. We could have easily spent the entire day right there, but we soldiered on and found some other things that were yummy (Parma Sausage) and interesting. Especially GIVE bottled water. Now, going in to the bottled water biz is kind of a step back from our goals and aspirations. But, lots of people ask for it, every single day. And if we're going to go into the bottled water biz it might as well be a)local and b)helping charity. So we're looking in to it. Unfortunately, Pennsylvania's restaurant industry hasn't really caught the green bug yet, so there wasn't a whole lot else for us to get excited about. Well, there was one company that had some biodegradable packaging, but once they found out we don't use US Foodservice they didn't want to talk to us anymore. Oh well.
After the expo I went back to the restaurant to unload Frankferd and then headed home. Rebby and I decided that fish was the thing, so we went to Whole Foods and bought our first ever tilapia. She grilled it up with jerk seasoning, and boy oh boy was that good! We had some couscous from a box and arugula salad. Not the cheffiest of meals, but simple and delicious. Then came the waiting for band practice, which lasted an hour longer than it should have. Finally the boys came, and we got to business, and there were some infuriating moments but we did get some good playing in. I just had to crack the whip, which I don't like to have to do but it makes everything GO. Sigh.
I'm looking forward to a sunshiney prep day today. And perhaps starting to move around some things in the basement. Whoo!

Your first ever tilapia?! Wow. We buy it all the time because it is affordable and tasty. Use it for fish tacos a lot. Yummy.
