Internist today and foodie yesterday

I went to my internist today, for a general physical. It was strange. I've been to so many doctor appointments over the last year for all of the IF fun-and-games. So when I saw my internist (who I haven't seen in 3 years! whoops) it was strange to talk about my body outside of infertility. Like my whole wellness had become tied up in IF, and I forgot that there is a lot of my body that is very healthy and doing what it should be. It was actually good perspective-taking, to know my body isn't a total failure.

And I've been cooking this week, mostly inspired by my favorite foodie blogs. I made the most yummy fresh limeade, from one of the recipes on The Kitchn. It was easy to do, and was good on its own, or with lime-flavored seltzer water, or as my husband had it, with a splash or three of vodka. If you are looking for a taste of summer, because the weather here is not exactly giving me the summer vibes, try this limeade. Also, hubby and I went to our local farmers' market this weekend, and got fresh strawberries, among other things. So I tried the summer crisp recipe from A Girl, A Market, A Meal blog. When I was making it, I thought for sure it would never turn out right. The topping was one of the most odd preparations I've ever seen, and it looks like a hot mess when you put it in the oven. But damn if it was not the best fruit crisp I've ever made! And easy too, once you trust that mixing egg into dry ingredients is not crazy. I'm gonna try it with peaches tonight. Mmmmmmm...
