Split a medium pizza from Nick's with April for lunch. Made smoothie #3 in the new blender when I got home. Ice cold smoothie was a very welcome treat, what with no A/C in the car and the house being as warm as you'd expect with A/C off while I was out all day.

Several weeks ago I bought a couple each of La Fins and Éphémères to share, but the anticipated hanging-out never came about, so I picked them off over the past few days. From a side-by-side taste comparison, Éphémère is quite tasty, but La Fin du Monde just has that incredible ambrosial saison balance. For the price there's just no point drinking anything less than a La Fin.

The batch of great northern bean and spinach paste that killed my old blender, and the most recent batch of ground turkey and onion, have far outlived their expected shelf life. When the smoothie settles maybe I'll frittata all that together somehow.
