naomikritzerAlso this weekend: I met a fitness goal. Well, the exercise part of it, anyway.
When I started biking, Ed suggested that I set the following goal. West of Lake Calhoun, on Lake Street, right near where it turns into Excelsior, there's a strip mall that includes a restaurant called Little Tel Aviv. When Abi came to dinner at our house a couple of months ago, she brought dessert from Little Tel Aviv, because they have this amazing selection of parve (i.e., dairy free) dessert items. I was really excited to try their tiramisu, but it was their eclairs that absolutely blew me away. They were excellent eclairs by any standard, far better than most of the (dairy enhanced) eclairs I've had over the years. Anyway, Ed suggested that I set a goal of biking to Little Tel Aviv and gorging on eclairs.
(I don't exercise for weight loss. I am currently down to my high school weight and I think I may still be losing. So this isn't as silly as it may seem to some.)
I've been biking regularly over the last couple of weeks (and even worked out at the health club on Thursday!) so on Saturday I biked out to Little Tel Aviv. Of course, I didn't get to eat eclairs, because (a) it was Saturday and (b) it was Yom Kippur, so they were very, very closed. I knew this before biking out there, but I figured, what the heck, I've been wanting to go biking on the Greenway, and while I was doing that, I might as well go look at their menu and see if they've got stuff that would look good for lunch or dinner sometime as well as dessert.
Anyway, given that I got cake last Saturday and cake again on Monday and cake again today, I wasn't really feeling deprived of sweets yesterday anyway.
It was really nice here this weekend. Gorgeous.
