Fruit salad

I don't eat much fruit usually but I decided I wanted to try making fruit salad for dinner.  I had a lemon and had to think of a way to use it.   Here's what I made.

Juice of one lemon
2 teaspoons of dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons of plain greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of vanilla
A pinch of salt, maybe 1/8 teaspoon?

Whisk that together in a bowl, then start cutting and adding any fruit you like.

I don't know the names of some of the fruit I bought but it was an apple, some kind of tiny peach, some kind of crossbreed plum/apricot/nectarine, blueberries, strawberries, and a kiwi.  I also added walnuts.

Bacchus of Lebanon in Bethesda MD

After my 20 mile ride on Saturday I decided that I wanted a nice dinner out.  I realized I wanted mediterranean and chose Bacchus because I hadn't been there before.  Its very nice inside and the crowd that came and went was very fun to see and listen to.  A rabbi, a family, young people on dates, old ladies dressed up, etc.

I ordered the Ma'anek, beef and lamb sausage with spices and pine nuts and Sedr Djaj Mechwi, essentially spiced garlic chicken with rice and almonds, I also ordered the dinner side salad.

It was all delicious!  The chicken was moist and so tasty, the menu said 'for garlic lovers' but I could have handled more garlic. :)

20 mile ride Saturday

I've started going to the gym MWF to do upper body weights and TuThSa I bike 20 miles.  This is me in the middle of or after a bike ride. I can't remember.

Me, standing around

A little snappy since I haven't had one in awhile.
