Puma City Ocean Race Pop -up store in south Boston

The Volvo Ocean Race is coming to town soon! And if you were ever curious about how a shipping container building gets put together, that's what they're made of, by architecture firm Lotek. Eventually, the store will be built into a multi-level cantilevered shipping container buildling as shown on other sites, but I visited it before they put on the levels. It's going to be parallel to another cantilevered building, the ICA.

My next shoe purchase:

I've never bought a Patagonia shoe before, but I hope this one fits!!! It's called Sugar and Spice, and it has a removable outsole and an inside slipper you can keep on your feet! I'm imagining walking over the wild boston streets and trudging over the rubbly parking lot to the ICA, and then arrive, slip off the outsole and do my ICA tours in the slippers- FABULOUS! Patagonia also covers this shoe in their sustainable sourcing tracking site, "Footprint Chronicles"

Lets drink lots of petrol and destroy lots of cars!

Fast & Furious opened to theaters today, and it's bound to be a silly action movie, but they use a pretty nice car in the end, a whacked out Subaru WRX STI, so I wanna watch it! Nyah! Apparently they needed a ton of cars and copies of cars in order to make this movie, and they also had to destroy lots and lots of cars for their action scenes, but because I love Subarus, I'm just going to let it go....

Pea Shoot babies

These are the pea shoots four days later. After I eat these, in a few days, I hope to consume the rest of my sprout seed stash, some alfalfa, broccoli, and cabbage.

More Sprouting

This time, I am using pea seeds to make pea shoots, and I'm growing them in a container with water and orchid mix to make the stems a little longer and to see if the leaves can get bigger.
I'm noticing that the grocery stores are selling more and more spouts and pea shoots these days. One of the reasons I started making my own sptrouts was because the store bought mung bean sprouts were in huge bags and I could never get through it all, but some of the other sprout containers are sold in smaller portions.

Maaking more food for feeding myself

This rye bread was started with a rye pate fermente starter and then put in the bread machine and baked in the oven, the dough was awfully goopy and wet, but yummy results in the end.

I made Yogurt!

I used this professor's recipe, because it had nice instructions for sterilizing stuff, and I needed to use up some milk! I'm using it in shakes and breakfast. I definitely think that it isn't hard, I just had to control the temperature of the yogurt while it was making itself.
