inside-out wetsuit

today, I celebrated an important first: it was the first time I went outside wearing my wet suit inside out. I only realized it when I couldn't get it unzipped when I was done swimming in the ocean. good thing italian bf was there to help me...and I was like...yeah, I don't know what's going on with this zipper...but there is no way I put my wetsuit on inside out...except I did.

No biggie really, it still worked as a wetsuit...just not as tight around the neck. But with 70-degree water, it's okay if a little extra water leaks in.

And then tonight for dinner, I tried to finish making celery-root soup...it was the second time I ever made it. the first time, it worked out well...but this time, it was only edible after adding 4 oz of quark, milk, nutmeg, salt, pepper, sugar and then at the table, a ton of bread. And then it was only kind of edible. The culprit? the celery root was WAY TOO STRONG. I got it at the pacific beach farmer's market two saturdays ago. Sometimes you really do want lame industrial veggies...or I could have used 1/5 of the root.

So yeah...that pretty much sums it up: inside-out wetsuit and really bad celery-root soup.
