The pickled radishes pictured above may look like watermelon, but tastes like a pickle.

Tuesday, I went to the Universal Records Database (URDB) event and it was fun. Erin and Her Cello was the special guest performer and I got to sing backup on a couple of her songs. Yay!

Friday, I got a pint of Jeni’s Salty Caramel ice cream. So good.

Saturday afternoon, I competed in the 4th Annual Hot Dog Cookoff. I didn’t win but I had a blast! Later that night I competed again—in the Housing Works Spelling Bee. I didn’t win but I did well considering I was near delirious from an afternoon of soaking in sun, hot dogs, and Kelso Beer.

Sunday was mellow with shopping at Re/Dress, brunch with the girls at Robin Des Bois and dinner with the Boy at Brookvin. We ate pickled radishes, country pate and lardo.
