nothing like a pleasant holiday. . .

to enjoy the strong heat, the sudden breaking rainstorm, a little viniyoga, and the inevitable iced coffee.

but first, a bccy congrats to our yogic friends at the breathing project for their nice mention yesterday in the
ny times, even if it was about shoes. . .

after the quick hard rain, the breeze blows strongly off the harbor. it's much cooler, so i took advantage of the respite to make up a cafetiére (a.k.a. french press) of don schoenholt's gillies sumatra lintong.

half i chilled for iced coffee; the remainder, i poured into the ice cube tray to make the coffee cubes that go into said iced coffee. i decided it was still too hot to cook, so i defrosted slices of both the recent pain au levain and challah to support a few dollops of curried chicken salad with sliced almonds.

after sampling both, i think the pain au levain actually does the chicken best. the challah however might nicely complement some lobster salad (add some sweet star fruit for a tropical feeling).

ummm --- lobster salad. must acquire now! well maybe not exactly now.

maybe i'll first enjoy a quick americano made from batdorf's caramel-ly, honey-walnut dancing goats blend. . .(thanks again, jessica!)
