I am making chili right now! then I will make pasta and sauce and sausage, and then potato/cabbage/sweet potato soup. THen I may make chicken and rice. The idea is that I am making enough topack for lunches this week, and then freezing the rest to eat for lunches and dinners when theatre takes an upswing so I am not stuck buying crap or not eating.

ETA: I somehow have lost my other big pan, however, which is annoying because I can't make 2 things at once. I think I may have thrown it out in a fit of cleaning.

Going to be making a simple vaguely Italian pasta tonight. Zuchinni, onions, mushrooms, boneless skinless chicken breast, a really tiny bit of italian sausage cooked in unsalted canned tomatos, chicken broth, honey, wine, garlic, marjoram, sweet basil, thyme, black pepper, served over whole wheat rotini.

Got the hair thing done. Fuck 3mm. 1.5mm for the win. Cut by a woman. She did ask if I was sure, which men never bother to do.

Now to do a whole shitload of nothing for a few hours.

We took Dylan to the newish playground in Union Square - it is SWEET. There's a standard climbing/slides/etc bit on one side, but the rest is a really cool modern looking play yard with all sorts of nifty climbing things. Pics:

Dylan's favorite part was the merry-go-round (which at this park is a tilted disc with no handles but a nice grippy surface), which had consequences I probably should have anticipated at brunch afterwards. Oh well, I left a big tip. Now for laundry.
