Cooking and Opera

Friday I spent the morning planning things to make with my CSA share. Around 1:30 I went to Chavella's to have lunch with Ethan in order to discuss us putting together a show. We got some good ideas and have given ourselves homework, and it feels good to be working on something. Took my grocery lists and headed to the store, then came home and made pasta salad and green salads to take on our picnic to go hear the Metropolitan Opera in Prospect Park. Matt came over with the cooler, which we packed and then walked to meet Atsuko, Ben, and friends in the Long Meadow. They'd gotten a great spot, where we could still sort of see the stage but had a great view of the Jumbotron TV projection. It was a beautiful night, and it's one of those only in New York things, getting to see stars from the Met perform in your neighborhood park for free with 50,000 other people.
