Bit of a break in writing! Many agreements have been made, my spring is filling with delightful visitors and even my partner might pop in for a spell.

My relationship with Margit Sziget is deepening; I decided I'll have running goals to achieve, so I get to improve the performance of my paper-bag lungs and see how the summer transforms the landscape. The running track has white markings for each kilometer; so far I've got it covered in forty minutes - there is definitely room to improve.

Sun, be my best friend.

Today I overcame my greatest obstacle in cooking: laziness. That moment shone upon me when my eye attached itself to a section in the isle where vegetarian options were sold (THEY HAVE THAT?!), and, furthermore, to a package of paprika-infused tofu. Once my roomie told me how to operate the rice, I grilled the tofu with spices and veggies and became a very happy cook indeed. Resulting dish was delicious. And after last week's pizza Sunday, I'm confident I'll knead my way through a good pizza base. I learned you can pre-bake the base with the sauce and mozzarella slices which is pretty damn tasty.

Pre-grilled cubes. I used to hate tofu for years, strange it's okay now.

I went to the Great Market Hall today, which is a real experience in itself. Finally I was concentrated enough to bring home a kilo of strawberries. Next time I'll try the fried dough!
