Ithaca is Gorges

some images of my last few days...

about 2% of what I did for two days: teaching people how to parse statutes. 

Moosewood Restaurant: I could never forgive myself if I didn't go there. And it was WOW: deeply unimpressive! I mean, everything was fine, edible, bordering on tasty. But nothing, nothing stood out. Clockwise from left:

• the salad had a somewhat tasty lemon tahini dressing, but the composition of green lettuce, carrots, shredded carrots, and a few (hidden) plum tomatoes. 
• the wheat bread was thickly sliced, but very basic, very uninteresting, and the olive oil I asked for was way too little (though the server gladly brought out the pourer and left it when I asked for more olive oil.) 
• the Caribbean black bean soup was bland and boring. It needed salt, more vegetables, more depth, some acid, and something besides black beans and boring fine chopped veggies. 

Yes, I know: I got the $8 daily special, which is a good buy. But the two vegan-available nightly specials were lame, full of boring vegetables, no meaningful vegan protein, and at $15, I didn't care to risk either.

Fun graffiti and official signage in downtown Ithaca. 

Solid food at Viva Taqueria, a tofu mole burrito, chips, and the house-made hot sauces. At $6.98 total, the best buy of the weekend. Except all of the food other people bought. But still perhaps the tastiest.

Sitting in the tiny cute Ithaca airport now, waiting to fly back to DTW, then ATL.

A few down days, then J and I go to Arizona for vacation. Whee!
