Seriously, why couldn't have this been while I lived there??
I was getting my Chicago fix from http://chicagoist.com. They posted a story about the filming of a new Johnny Depp/Christian Bale movie in my old hood. But they mentioned the actual street where this was taped. And no joke, it is 1 block from my old apartment! Ack! This never happened when I lived there!

Sunday Dinner
I love to cook when I have enough time to move at a leisurely pace. That's why Sunday Dinner is such a great night of the week for food in our house. It's usually the night I try new recipes that I find from cookbooks, blogs, etc. Tonight was an especially successful meal. I was craving feta cheese for some reason. So the menu du jour was:
Chicken stuffed with Feta, Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes
Asparagus with a Lemon Vinegrette (adapted from my Chicago friend Abbey's recipe)
Whole wheat couscous with roasted garlic
It was fufiling and not too guilty a meal :) Any recipes you would like to recommend for next Sunday...leave in the comments!!

Golf for dummies!
My work had a manager's outing at a golf course today. Mind you, I've never played before however I'm up for being in outside on a sunny day rather than in the office! Ends up that I did play and I had a great time!! Maybe I should check out getting some clubs of my own!
