Thursday was exciting. I had the day off, so I went running after I got up, then went on an adventure to check out the new Ikea in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It just opened Wednesday, so it was super new. They have a shuttle service from a subway stop near me, so I hopped the bus to Ikea Adventure. Walked around and looked at everything, and managed to get away only buying a new set of measuring spoons, a salad spinner, and a glass jar for storing pesto. Also, Mom, turns out most Ikeas sell that sparkling peach juice you like. The bus system has some kinks to work out, but it was fine. Came hom, then turned around to pick up my first CSA share! I got:
-a bouquet of snap dragons
-a head of lettuce
-a head of bok choy
-kale
-radishes
-garlic scapes
-salad mix-
-a little basil plant
-a pound of strawberries
-6 eggs
Cool! Brought them home, repackaged them for better storage, then went into the city to meet Matt for dinner. Then we went to see "Gypsy," where all three leads had just won Tonys. It was such a privilege to see Patti LuPone play Mama Rose, she's just the best of the best in her field. We both had a great time.

Such beautiful produce!
I can't believe the Ikea in Red Hook is open. Seems I was just reading about it as "proposed." Hmmm, I'll had to get to IKEA and stock up on peach juice. :-)
