Another Weeknight Meal

Another weeknight, another simple meal.

There was nothing exciting about dinner tonight. Just Chinese beef brisket (the Chinese traditionally don't remove the tendons attached to brisket) cooked in a soup of daikon, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and star anise. The soup's eaten with noodles and topped with green onions.

Blackberries from Whole Foods were the most exciting thing I ate today. Look at the size of these suckers! Every berry in the three baskets I got was this big, and they were on sale three for $5. After I took this photo I found one berry that was about one and a half times the size of either of these. Yummy. I can't wait for pick-your-own berry season to kick in.

In workout news, I went to a cardio kickboxing class today. I'm not much for group exercise classes, mainly because I'm completely uncoordinated and always look like an idiot hopping around. But once in awhile I go to a class because it's a way to make myself keep moving for an hour. Plus, it's good for the soul to let loose and look like an idiot every so often. The class was well-paced and my legs feel like jell-o, so I guess I have no complaints.

The beef soup looks good -- better than my Russian soup last night -- the cabbage had a bitter taste unfortunately.
