Sunday Cooking

Maybe I should call it Sunday prepping.  I like to cook on Sunday and make meals for lunch and dinner for the entire week.  I hate cooking every day because you end up not being able to do anything else.  Plus, if you get home late you eat something healthy and not chips and cookies.  Not that I allow myself to buy chips and cookies because I don't.  I will eat them if I buy them.

I actually kind of followed a recipe for this week.  I also cooked quinoa for the first time.  It isn't really different from cooking rice but it's a lot more nutritious.

I also made a greek salad mixture that I plan on adding to arugula or maybe just eating on it's own.

I didn't take a photo but I also diced up a pint of strawberries for my cereal in the mornings.  A little extra time on Sunday means I eat a lot better for the week.  I don't have to get up early to make sure I have time to pack a lunch.  I just grab and go.  This also means that I don't have to eat fast food that makes me feel like crap and costs too much money.

Metra Flowers

I always think of my mom when I walk by these flowers at the Metra station.  One because they are really pretty and two because you can actually smell them before you see them.  Mom is always saying "oh can you smell those flowers, they smell so good".  Yes they do.

Art Chicago Friday

Friday was a weird party for Art Chicago.  It was hosted in the clubroom for a luxury apartment building across from the street from Art Chicago.  The cool thing about the party was it was on the 28th floor and had an outside deck with a lap pool.  The uncool thing was it was freezing and the people were strange.  Oh well, free drink and a great view of the city I will never see again.  P.S. I didn't want to get really close to the railing to take photos.

Art Chicago Preview Party

April 28 was the preview party for Art Chicago.  One of the perks of working for an interior design firm is free passes and parties.  Shepard Fairey of "Hope" fame was the DJ for the Next party, which is the more cutting edge art of the show.

I have no idea what any of the following art is.  To be honest this was the second party of the evening and I had had two strong drinks with no dinner.  Lets just say I was having a good time.
