Seth and I did A LOT of biking today. We headed off to a bike shop to rent Seth a bike just after 9am this morning and didn't come back until about 2:30pm.
We rode up the mountain (sorry Deb, but Seth is much faster than you) and then explored some of the city's bike trails. A trip (by bike) to the Jean Talon market to pick up some fresh veggies and meat for supper and then back home to chill.
It was a hot day, so by the time we got back we were pretty exhausted. I had a three-speed bixi bike and I had a hard time keeping up with Seth on his fancy 21 speed city bike. My legs were spinning those peddles like crazy, but I just wasn't covering the ground like he was.
We were both happy to relax a little this afternoon, but went out again to Indigo to pick up some reading books. (Thank you Charles and Stacey for the birthday gift card.)
I ate very well today. Not that I haven't been eating extremely well everyday, but I ate a lot of good food today. A hearty Nicoise salad at the marche and a great home cooked meal for dinner. Seth was my sous chef for the evening. We had a great steak. It looks horrible in the video, but it was a great meal.
I hadn't cooked beef for years until Glen came to live with us for awhile. He got me hooked again. I made a nice little wine sauce, reduced nicely. I'm amazed at how easy it is to make sauces. Put enough butter and wine in anything and it tastes good.
We finished off our night with the movie Blades of Glory. Quite inappropriate for a ten year old, but hilarious for both of us nevertheless.
