Hiked up into the hills, amongst all the spring flowers, the oak trees, the towerings redwoods. Read one quarter of Botany of Desire on a promentory, beneath eucalyptus, with a sweeping view of the Bay, glimmering, shimmering, and with little boats. Wandered through the Berkeley hills, discovered the amazing Orchard Lane, surely a gift to us from Mayan times. Absconded with Jason to mine the new ores at Cody's and Moe's. Kingpin. Girls throwing fire around themselves and shrieking, surely some ancient mating ritual. Cornchips and Corona and Lost Highway with Taylan.

co-op yumminess

We eat so well at this co-op that I thought I should start taunting you (that's right, you) by writing down our meals here. Tonight we feasted upon a Mediterranean offering of tabouli, hummous, baba ginouj, and dolma (raisins, rice, pine nuts, and various other goodies, wrapped up in grape leaves and steamed), prepared by Jen and Xylar. Our Saturday morning brunch, brought to us by Eli and Katherine, was also quite sumptuous, consisting of multiple varieties of seasoned fried potatoes, chicken and vegetable soup, spiced hummous, and a minty yoghurt creation. Friday night Sarah and Allegra treated us to a bounty centering around salmon with coconut sauce.
