Stocked up on strawberries for our two young nephews. We’ll cut them off after they’ve chowed down two pounds of strawberries.

Energy for More Peddling
A shared brownie at Nokomis Beach Coffee gave us the energy to continue peddling.
Pie à la Mode.
Cycled the Cannon Valley Trail one-way to Red Wing where we had pie à la mode.
Basil Bin
I’m buying basil by the handful, thanks to the annual tomato glut. I appreciate the year-round basil bin at Seward Co-op.
Japanese Kit Kats
Bought Japanese green tea/almond/cranberry Kit Kats for my nephews, one of over 300 flavors.

Millionaire’s Shortbread
At the doc’s office, learned I’d lost a few pounds without dieting, per se. Meanwhile, a friend pointed out a nearby bakery that has the best millionaire’s shortbread: shortbread, caramel, and chocolate. The salt crystals are inspired. I had to indulge.
Fine Seasonal Lunch
This plus crusty bread made a fine seasonal lunch. Minnesota strawberries are at their best right now: they’re small and flavorful. I’m convinced a strawberry is allocated a fixed amount of flavor, whether it’s big or small.
Bibimbap
Satisfied my need for bibimbap. Comfort food.
Restraint
My new after-lunch treat: an Americano. Weight gain is a side-effect of my cancer therapy. The simple solution is fewer capuccinos and pastries.
