Feet First | 298 Saturday, 2 July Barbecuing steak with chimichurri sauce and some veggies from the Farmer's Market. Made a berry crumble, which if it's good, will be my new go-to summer berry dessert.

Feet First | 297 Friday, 1 July Threw some shrimp on the barbecue last night, along with some mushrooms and yellow spring onions, and a salad–everything but the shrimp from our CSA box. The red pepper pasta was imported last weekend from the West Side Market in Cleveland. And boy, was it ever delicious.
