747So, Warren found a baby squirrel a few weeks ago.<br /> 748<br /> 749<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29778494596/in/album-72157674047558296/"

749<br /> 750<br /> 751My reaction? I said, "If you leave town, I'm not taking care of that thing."<br /> 752<br /> 753At first, he kept Jimmy (as named by the kids) in a big bucket and fed him with a dropper. Then he transitioned him into a cat carrier. <br /> 754<br /> 755<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29814228725/in/album-72157674047558296/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8163/29814228725_eb55cc5d0b.jpg" width="375"></a>
755<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
755<br /> 756<br /> 757During the day, he either hung out in the hood of Warren's hoodie or played on the punching bag that now hangs from the dining room ceiling.<br /> 758<br /> 759<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29188120933/in/album-72157674047558296/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8412/29188120933_1872d52312.jpg" width="375"></a>

760<br /> 761<br /> 762Warren's desk is nearby, so when Jimmy started jumping from Warren to his nest and back again, he decided it might be time to let him outside.<br /> 763<br /> 764<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29814238585/in/album-72157674047558296/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8148/29814238585_281cca3b7c.jpg" width="375"></a>
764<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
764<br /> 765<br /> 766So, he set Jimmy free and gave him the option of coming back to the carrier and coming in for the night. <br /> 767<br /> 768<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29188127303/in/album-72157674047558296/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8539/29188127303_30953da5ff.jpg" width="375"></a>

768<br /> 769<br /> 770After a few days, he didn't come back one night.

Since I can only eat so many tacos, I enlisted the help of my firstborn. He had to be bribed with a promise to visit the Apple Store along the way, but then he was totally on board. It was actually quite amazing to pick him up from his dad's house on Saturday and not only have him be dressed and ready to go, but to also seem excited.<br /> 856<br /> 857I explained the law of diminishing returns to him and we discussed different criteria we might use to rank the trucks and it was all quite civilized.<br /> 858<br /> 859I don't want to ruin my upcoming Thrillist piece, but I will say a few things about our FIVE HOUR TACO EATING ADVENTURE just to build some anticipation.<br /> 860<br /> 861<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29593640725/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8315/29593640725_27e870171f.jpg" width="400"></a>
861<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
861<br /> 862<br /> 863I love the El Burrito truck on Jackson. It was our first stop, so you know the whole diminishing returns might come into play, but they had a great selection and the owner was a doll.<br /> 864<br /> 865<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29593645595/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8360/29593645595_99e64c1199.jpg" width="400"></a>
865<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
865<br /> 866<br /> 867He had the best salsa of the day too--it was a creamy avocado based sauce. And I now know that a taco is not complete without a pickled carrot.<br /> 868<br /> 869<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/28970274993/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8329/28970274993_9eff9659a9.jpg" width="400"></a>

869<br /> 870<br /> 871Satchel Snapchatted along the way. I have no idea what he said.<br /> 872<br /> 873<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29483766212/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8148/29483766212_8f9d3d3e96.jpg" width="400"></a>

873<br /> 874<br /> 875Across from El Burrito is Jalapeno's, which may or may not be affiliated with this little place just a few feet away.<br /> 876<br /> 877<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29626234646/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="450" src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8156/29626234646_37481267d4.jpg" width="400"></a>
877<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
877<br /> 878<br /> 879I was tempted to try it, but worried about not having enough room for all of the other tacos in my future.<br /> 880<br /> 881On Summer Avenue, we discovered this RV Pupuseria. Tacos are more of an afterthought here, but still tasty. We need to go back and eat a pupusa.<br /> 882<br /> 883<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29303199990/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8373/29303199990_04d92eac39.jpg" width="400"></a>
883<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
883<br /> 884<br /> 885The Los Jarochos truck was closed due to the owner being on vacation, so we were forced to go into the ice cream side. It's like a little La Michoacana. Great pops and ice cream, and my favorite--chocolate covered bananas. With sprinkles!<br /> 886<br /> 887<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29303207050/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8276/29303207050_729c6a3b33.jpg" width="400"></a>
887<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
887<br /> 888<br /> 889Next, we came across this truck on White Station, but it had started raining and no one was inside despite the "Open" sign being lit up.<br /> 890<br /> 891<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29559373186/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8376/29559373186_b001c8a963.jpg" width="400"></a>
891<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
891<br /> 892<br /> 893And then we searched and searched, but the famed Chili Verde with the strawberry salsa was nowhere to be found. (Anyone know where it is now?)<br /> 894<br /> 895We headed toward Hickory Hill and that's where we found the Los Compadres truck. I don't *think* it's affiliated with the restaurant. (I asked but didn't get a straight answer due to my inability to speak Spanish.) At first I thought it might be filling up it's tank, but it is fully operational right between the BP pumps.<br /> 896<br /> 897<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/28970123063/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8015/28970123063_63080a9339.jpg" width="400"></a>
897<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
897<br /> 898<br /> 899There was a cooler full of jumbo Mexican Cokes and I couldn't resist. I think it was my first Coke in three years, maybe? <br /> 900<br /> 901<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29559380896/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8053/29559380896_21b23e0810.jpg" width="400"></a>
901<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
901<br /> 902<br /> 903Yep frozen treats, a Coke, and more tacos than I could count all in one day! Decadence!<br /> 904<br /> 905One of the coolest parts of our adventure was collecting all of the different salsas. As far as I could tell they were all homemade.<br /> 906<br /> 907<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29593137485/in/album-72157670429399683/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8180/29593137485_36ded4f9d0.jpg" width="400"></a>
907<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
907<br /> 908<br /> 909After eating at seven taco trucks and one ice cream place, we spent a grand total of $25. Satchel insisted on a $5 order of tamales at La Guadalupana, otherwise I never would have broken my second $20 bill.<br /> 910<br /> 911We were both full, but not dying--though I didn't eat again until Sunday. When I emerged from my room Sunday morning, Satchel said, "I want more tacos."<br /> 912<br /> 913Of course by then, I'd had numerous people mention trucks we never found, so I seriously considered it...for a minute. They'll have to wait for the update or part 2. I definitely think it was one of my funnest assignments ever. I'm so glad Satchel was with me. 914<div style='clear: both;'></div> 915</div> 916<div class='post-footer'> 917<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 918<span class='post-author vcard'> 919Posted by 920<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 921<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08067384545487563830' itemprop='url'/> 922<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08067384545487563830' rel='author' title='author profile'> 923<span itemprop='name'>Stacey Greenberg</span> 924</a> 925</span> 926</span> 927<span class='post-timestamp'> 928at 929<meta content='http://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/2016/09/all-taco-trucks.html' itemprop='url'/> 930<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/2016/09/all-taco-trucks.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-09-13T15:42:00-05:00'>3:42 PM</abbr></a> 931</span> 932<span class='post-comment-link'> 933<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/16414599/6519068805800259461' onclick=''> 934No comments: 935 </a> 936</span> 937<span class='post-icons'> 938<span class='item-action'> 939<a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/16414599/6519068805800259461' title='Email Post'> 940<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> 941</a> 942</span> 943<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-2094187131'> 944<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=16414599&postID=6519068805800259461&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 945<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 946</a> 947</span> 948</span> 949<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 950<a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/6519068805800259461?https=true&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/6519068805800259461?https=true&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

I wanted to see the Giants play the Cubs. I've only been to Chicago once, and I think I was about Satchel's age at the time. It was kind of a big deal since it was the first time I drove them to a city I didn't really know, and we weren't going with anyone or meeting up with anyone.<br /> 995<br /> 996Jiro, true to form, was excited about the trip and ready to do whatever. Satchel needed a little coaxing.<br /> 997<br /> 998Our drive started off great. Both boys were chatty and I was able to get them talking about school, their teachers, and even girls! We decided to stop in Sikeston, Missouri for lunch. Warren and I took the boys to <a href="http://diningwithmonkeys.blogspot.com/2012/09/lamberts-cafe-sikeston-mo.html">Lambert's Cafe</a> on the way back from St. Louis four years ago, and it took Satchel about three years to shut up about it. There was a time that he wanted me to rent a pink Hummer limo and drive him and his friends there for his birthday. <br /> 999<br />
1000So Satchel was excited to go, and it was funny to see him experience it as a 14 year old vs. a 10 year old. He started off by saying, "I'll have a hamburger." This was a joke since I usually get annoyed when we go somewhere new and (presumably) exciting and they both order hamburgers. But, I really didn't care what he ordered. <br /> 1001<br /> 1002At one point he said, "This is the most red neck place ever." I replied, "You didn't used to think that." He then said, "I didn't know many stereotypes when I was younger."<br /> 1003<br /> 1004Great! Ha!<br /> 1005<br /> 1006Our food was fast and tasted fine. I really enjoyed the free fried okra. I forgot how expensive it was, but whatever. Too late. As we were packing up, Satchel said, "Everything's better when you are younger. Like garlic fries."<br /> 1007<br /> 1008So mission accomplished--we never have to eat there again!<br /> 1009<br /> 1010<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29457695296/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7766/29457695296_e15abc24bd.jpg" width="375"></a>

1010<br /> 1011<br /> 1012The rest of our drive was fairly smooth. I listened to baseball on the radio and the kids alternated between sleeping and staring at their personal screens. We arrived around 7:30pm.<br /> 1013<br /> 1014We stayed in an AirBnB in Logan Square, and it ended up being a great spot. We were able to walk to lots of restaurants and whatnot and it was right by the train station. Jiro's first order of business was eating a Chicago style pizza. We located a Giordano's within a mile and a half and decided to order and then walk over. This helped us orient ourselves to the 'hood, and the pizza was ready when we arrived. It was everything we wanted it to be.<br /> 1015<br /> 1016<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29491667595/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8157/29491667595_b5cb27eb54.jpg" width="400"></a>
1016<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1016<br /> 1017<br /> 1018The only thing missing was beer.<br /> 1019<br /> 1020We made it back to our abode and crashed. <br /> 1021<br /> 1022Saturday was all about baseball and we were all excited. We walked over to the train station and with the help of a nice employee, we figured out what tickets to buy and where to get on and off and all that. The kids made fun of me because I didn't know which buttons to push on the ticket machine.<br /> 1023<br /> 1024<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29211335610/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8252/29211335610_94b102a508.jpg" width="400"></a>
1024<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1024<br /> 1025<br /> 1026(Satchel also told me that a 44 year old woman should NOT be taking selfies.)<br /> 1027<br /> 1028It was the monkeys' first time on a subway. Despite Satchel's expression in the photo below, they loved it.<br /> 1029<br /> 1030<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29392017102/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8457/29392017102_e888691a9a.jpg" width="400"></a>
1030<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1030<br /> 1031<br /> 1032When we switched trains, we met some Giants fans. On our second train, the closer we got to Wrigley, the more Cubs fans we met. The train was a sea of blue by the time we arrived.<br /> 1033<br /> 1034<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/28869404333/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8542/28869404333_dbc239762c.jpg" width="400"></a>

1034<br /> 1035<br /> 1036We picked up our tickets at Will Call, snapped a few pics and then found our (amazing) seats.<br /> 1037<br /> 1038<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29211298110/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8647/29211298110_01db43ab8f.jpg" width="400"></a>

1040<br /> 1041<br /> 1042For those of you not in the know--the Cubs have been having an incredible season. The best in 100 years. The Giants, three time World Series winners (2010, 2012, 2014) had a strong start to the season, but have been in a major slump since the All-Star break. Well, the Giants came through on Saturday and managed to win the game in a very exciting 3-2 squeaker. I couldn't have asked for a better game, and even the monkeys totally got into it.<br /> 1043<br /> 1044I really wished I had bought tickets for Sunday, too, but I knew we should do other things while in town.<br /> 1045<br /> 1046We took the train back to our apartment and had some much needed downtime.<br /> 1047<br /> 1048<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/28875389994/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="375" src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8121/28875389994_040fb5d523.jpg" width="500"></a>
1048<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1048<br /> 1049<br /> 1050Then we went out to a <a href="https://diningwithmonkeys.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-chicago-diner.html">VEGAN dinner at the Chicago Diner</a> and a movie.<br /> 1051<br /> 1052On Sunday, our main objective was getting Satchel to <a href="https://diningwithmonkeys.blogspot.com/2016/09/eggsperience.html">Eggsperience</a> for a Tommy Boy skillet. With the help of Uber, we accomplished that goal by 10am.<br /> 1053<br /> 1054<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/28878139993/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8522/28878139993_3f40177a75.jpg" width="400"></a>
1054<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1054<br /> 1055<br /> 1056Next, we walked to Millennium Park to see Cloud Gate. The park was insanely crowded due to the holiday weekend and a jazz festival, so our pictures are less than inspired. It was cool to see it in person.<br /> 1057<br /> 1058<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29211323030/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8544/29211323030_30d4ba3035.jpg" width="400"></a>
1058<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1058<br /> 1059<br /> 1060From there we sought refuge in the Chicago Athletic Association's game room. It features pool tables, foosball, shufflebaord, bocce and chess. All free! After smoking Jiro at foosball, I went for a beer and listened to baseball while they goofed off.<br /> 1061<br /> 1062<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29412609071/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8651/29412609071_18996e8d03.jpg" width="400"></a>
1062<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1062<br /> 1063<br /> 1064After an hour or so, we went down to the lobby to check out the famous <a href="http://diningwithmonkeys.blogspot.com/2016/09/shake-shack.html">Shake Shack</a>.<br /> 1065<br /> 1066Then Jiro's one request--to go to the top of the Willis Tower--needed fulfilling.<br /> 1067<br /> 1068<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29500370915/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8512/29500370915_648b22a576.jpg" width="375"></a>
1068<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1068<br /> 1069<br /> 1070This proved to be a Hurculean effort--we were in line for about 4 hours. Thankfully I had the baseball game to keep me occupied and the boys managed to keep themselves entertained.<br /> 1071<br /> 1072<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/29492296155/in/album-72157672436139341/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8496/29492296155_d23cc97ec0.jpg" width="400"></a>
1072<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1072<br /> 1073<br /> 1074It was pretty cool once we made it up, but we all agreed it was NOT worth the waiting. We found out the hard way that you can get a City Pass ($98 each) and skip most of the waiting. The pass gets you into five attractions and is totally worth it if you plan to do them all.<br /> 1075<br /> 1076From there we attempted to take an Uber to the Furious Spoon, a Ramen place by our apartment, but ended up at a different location. This was the part of the trip where Satchel decided his mother sucked so bad at directions that he had to take over. Fine by me! We did eventually get to dinner, and then back home. We crashed early, and then hit the road home at 8:30am.<br /> 1077<br /> 1078Overall, it was a great trip. Maybe a bit on the quick side, but long enough for the monkeys to get a taste of the big city. We definitely made some memories and it was quite fun having the boys all to myself for a few days.<br /> 1079<br /> 1080<div style='clear: both;'></div> 1081</div> 1082<div class='post-footer'> 1083<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 1084<span class='post-author vcard'> 1085Posted by 1086<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 1087<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08067384545487563830' itemprop='url'/> 1088<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08067384545487563830' rel='author' title='author profile'> 1089<span itemprop='name'>Stacey Greenberg</span> 1090</a> 1091</span> 1092</span> 1093<span class='post-timestamp'> 1094at 1095<meta content='http://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/2016/09/chicago.html' itemprop='url'/> 1096<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/2016/09/chicago.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-09-07T12:14:00-05:00'>12:14 PM</abbr></a> 1097</span> 1098<span class='post-comment-link'> 1099<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/16414599/5633956120207628672' onclick=''> 1100No comments: 1101 </a> 1102</span> 1103<span class='post-icons'> 1104<span class='item-action'> 1105<a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/16414599/5633956120207628672' title='Email Post'> 1106<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> 1107</a> 1108</span> 1109<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-2094187131'> 1110<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=16414599&postID=5633956120207628672&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 1111<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 1112</a> 1113</span> 1114</span> 1115<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 1116<a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/5633956120207628672?https=true&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/5633956120207628672?https=true&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/5633956120207628672?https=true&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/5633956120207628672?https=true&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/5633956120207628672?https=true&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> 1117</div> 1118</div> 1119<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> 1120<span class='post-labels'> 1121Labels: 1122<a href='https://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/search/label/travel' rel='tag'>travel</a> 1123</span> 1124</div> 1125<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> 1126<span class='post-location'> 1127</span> 1128</div> 1129</div> 1130</div> 1131</div> 1132<div class='post-outer'> 1133<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> 1134<meta content='16414599' itemprop='blogId'/> 1135<meta content='8279476074908065640' itemprop='postId'/> 1136<a name='8279476074908065640'></a> 1137<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 1138<a href='https://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/2016/09/ive-been-little-lost.html'>I've been a little lost</a> 1139</h3> 1140<div class='post-header'> 1141<div class='post-header-line-1'></div> 1142</div> 1143<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-8279476074908065640' itemprop='description articleBody'> 1144I've been a little lost. Not completely, but a little. After eleven years of blogging on the reg, I just sort of quit. I could blame the divorce or the kids wanting their privacy, but I don't know if either of those are totally true. I've just felt quiet, I guess. But man, being quiet doesn't really work for me. I need to get out of my head. I read <a href="http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/09/journaling-can-help-you-out-of-a-bad-mood.html">this article</a> last night, and well, I think I'm back.<br /> 1145<br /> 1146I've been writing, just not about what's going on in my life or in my head. I'm basically a master list maker now thanks to <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/search/?q=stacey%20greenberg">Thrillist</a>. I even managed to get a list on <a href="https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/soothing-sounds-for-todays-modern-ambien-intolerant-woman">McSweeney's</a>, thanks to my favorite collaborator. And anyone who's seen a recent issue of <i>Edible Memphis</i> can attest to the fact that my editor has been very generous with me.<br /> 1147<br /> 1148But I need to record the mundane events in my life. My memory sucks and is just getting suckier by the day. I don't want to lose the now. It really is fun to go back and look over my old posts. Honestly, it's a little scary too since a lot of the time I don't remember the events and it seems as though someone else did the writing. But, having a record is nice. And I need to keep doing it. I just need to find a way to do it without breaching the privacy of the people wrapped up in my daily life.<br /> 1149<br /> 1150I still like writing about food, but it does seem mostly pointless. Writing about food was always the most fun when I was doing <

Thanks to our recent trip to Chicago, I was able to get the monkeys to try some new things and dammit, I'm going to write about it whether they like it or not.<br /> 1151<br /> 1152So yeah.

What's up with that? I guess we've all been a little busy. Not sure that there's been anything too out of the ordinary to post about. <br /> 1229<br /> 1230Jiro is playing soccer for Liberty again. <br /> 1231<br /> 1232Satchel actually tried out for Snowden and made the team. Due to rain and whatnot he's only had one game and I got no good pictures.<br /> 1233<br /> 1234Jiro went to his first ever concert at the FedEx Forum: Fall Out Boy. Ha!<br /> 1235<br /> 1236What else? We've made a couple of funny videos together--one for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlPV5hAr7BQ">Lauren's surgery</a> and one for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2Prx-rAbg">my upcoming birthday</a>. <br /> 1237<br /> 1238Spring break was last week, and we did manage to take a little day trip to Oxford. I told the boys we were going to have a nice lunch, see an art exhibit, visit a bookstore and then go to Faulkner's house. Satchel said it sounded like the nerdiest trip ever. Then he did a really funny nerd voice, but refused to let me capture it on video.<br /> 1239<br /> 1240Anyways, we had a really nice lunch at Boure. (More on that later.)<br /> 1241<br /> 1242<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/25510539134/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1670/25510539134_592964c152.jpg" width="400"></a>
1242<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1242<br /> 1243<br /> 1244Then we walked across the Square and saw Maggie Russell's show at Southside Gallery.<br /> 1245<br /> 1246<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/26089400966/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1719/26089400966_2895092c09.jpg" width="400"></a>
1246<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1246<br /> 1247<br /> 1248The kids both really liked it, though they are too cool to make any pleasing facial expressions.<br /> 1249<br /> 1250<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/25510572614/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1493/25510572614_b647ca3d8f.jpg" width="400"></a>
1250<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1250<br /> 1251<br /> 1252Our next stop was Square Books. Satchel actually asked me, "Why would we hang out in a bookstore?" Thankfully, he was able to answer his own question. And yes, he found a book to buy.<br /> 1253<br /> 1254<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/25512717973/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1552/25512717973_4d29862c60.jpg" width="400"></a>
1254<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1254<br /> 1255<br /> 1256I quite enjoyed sitting on the upstairs balcony and drinking a coffee while people watching down below.<br /> 1257<br /> 1258<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/26022794692/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1452/26022794692_b281f34e76.jpg" width="400"></a>
1258<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1258<br /> 1259<br /> 1260Next, Jiro insisted on getting a cookie from this place clearly created for stoners.<br /> 1261<br /> 1262<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/25842462150/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1543/25842462150_614143bc64.jpg" width="400"></a>
1262<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1262<br /> 1263<br /> 1264Then we hit Off Square Books and Square Books, Jr. where we found treasures such as the Handicorn. Oh and these little hands. Satchel said, "Do you know how many high fives I could give with these?"<br /> 1265<br /> 1266<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/25842459350/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1480/25842459350_1d6f507568.jpg" width="400"></a>
1266<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1266<br /> 1267<br /> 1268After walking through the Square, the boys started to get a sense of how important Faulkner was to the town.<br /> 1269<br /> 1270<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/25510540734/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1675/25510540734_2b56779b7d.jpg" width="400"></a>
1270<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1270<br /> 1271<br /> 1272Rowan Oak was our last stop, and both boys were actually quite interested and enthusiastic about it.<br /> 1273<br /> 1274<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/26022773622/in/album-72157664230947944/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1624/26022773622_8af61e9b96.jpg" width="400"></a>

Some friends and I decided to sign up for Wade's Big Adventure, which is an 8 mile trail race at Shelby Farms. We spent several weeks running the trails on the weekends and on race day we totally kicked ass. I mean we did't win or anything, but we had fun and we felt strong. We'd all signed up for Sylamore in February and planned to once again double our distance (4->8->16.). <br /> 1456<br /> 1457<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/23593497395/in/album-72157659033505524/" title="wades"><img alt="wades" height="293" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5731/23593497395_af5fb02e30.jpg" width="400"></a>
1457<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1457<br /> 1458<br /> 1459Since the race was on a Sunday, I also had a soccer game that day. I didn't feel tired, but my brain was not communicating with my body in the way that it normally does. I had a total freak accident that resulted in me crushing my own foot. After several X-rays and finally an MRI, it was determined that I broke my first metatarsal. <br /> 1460<br /> 1461Yep, broken again. It's actually been a good 9 years since I broke my leg in three, and 25 (!) since my ACL surgery. And compared to those two injuries, this is nothing. (I hope.)<br /> 1462<br /> 1463When I moved into the Pie Factory, I kinda had a feeling I'd be tackling these stairs on crutches some day.<br /> 1464<br /> 1465<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/22700448138/in/album-72157659033505524/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5720/22700448138_ac142604db.jpg" width="375"></a>
1465<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1465<br /> 1466<br /> 1467Thankfully the crutches only lasted about ten days.<br /> 1468<br /> 1469Also, please note I got a pedicure ASAP. Even better, Kristy crocheted me some toe covers for my cast.<br /> 1470<br /> 1471<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/22497545643/in/album-72157659033505524/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="395" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5709/22497545643_325056109a.jpg" width="400"></a>
1471<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
1471<br /> 1472<br /> 1473Being in a cast has severely cramped my style. I was running three times a week, doing yoga twice a week, and playing soccer. Now I can't even stand at my desk. It's frustrating as hell. But I haven't let it totally ruin me. I still made it to New Orleans for Thanksgiving weekend (more on that later. maybe!) and I am trying to look on the bright side.<br /> 1474<br /> 1475<b>The Bright Side</b><br /> 1476<br /> 14771. At least it's my left foot, so I can still drive.<br /> 14782. I got to take three days off to convalesce which resulted in getting to watch every episode of "The Master of None."<br /> 14793. The kids have learned to carry their own shit.<br /> 14804. When I met the Mayor-elect, I got to make a joke about Chuck Brady running me over.<br /> 14815. According to the pedicure dude, I have a cool story. "At least you didn't fall in a hole," he said.<br /> 14826. Strangers talk to me, a lot. "I told you not to kick the dog," they say. "We aren't getting any younger," they remind me. "You were watching soccer or playing soccer?" they ask. (Ok maybe this one belongs on a different list!)<br /> 1483<br /> 1484I'm four weeks in, and hopefully transitioning to a boot soon. I so want to scratch my ankle.<br /> 1485<br /> 1486Wish me luck. I haven't given up on Sylamore yet. 1487<div style='clear: both;'></div> 1488</div> 1489<div class='post-footer'> 1490<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> 1491<span class='post-author vcard'> 1492Posted by 1493<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> 1494<meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08067384545487563830' itemprop='url'/> 1495<a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08067384545487563830' rel='author' title='author profile'> 1496<span itemprop='name'>Stacey Greenberg</span> 1497</a> 1498</span> 1499</span> 1500<span class='post-timestamp'> 1501at 1502<meta content='http://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/2015/12/broken.html' itemprop='url'/> 1503<a class='timestamp-link' href='https://fertilegroundzine.blogspot.com/2015/12/broken.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-12-07T16:07:00-06:00'>4:07 PM</abbr></a> 1504</span> 1505<span class='post-comment-link'> 1506<a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/16414599/2353367742071878726' onclick=''> 1507No comments: 1508 </a> 1509</span> 1510<span class='post-icons'> 1511<span class='item-action'> 1512<a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/16414599/2353367742071878726' title='Email Post'> 1513<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> 1514</a> 1515</span> 1516<span class='item-control blog-admin pid-2094187131'> 1517<a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=16414599&postID=2353367742071878726&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> 1518<img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> 1519</a> 1520</span> 1521</span> 1522<div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> 1523<a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/2353367742071878726?https=true&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/2353367742071878726?https=true&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/2353367742071878726?https=true&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/2353367742071878726?https=true&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post/16414599/2353367742071878726?https=true&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to P

1573<br /> 1574<br /> 1575This year marked our tenth year of making ravioli with the Alleys. TEN YEARS! (Unless we did the math wrong.) This year, Aunt Elizabeth was busy packing up her house to move, so I was in charge of making sure everyone washed their hands and didn't fuck up. I was drunk with power! Not really, it was a lot of pressure!<br /> 1576<br /> 1577<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/22700257907/in/album-72157660591302147/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/635/22700257907_c3dba7619d.jpg" width="375"></a>

1577<br /> 1578<br /> 1579The best part of being in charge, was having Genevieve sit next to me AND talk to me!<br /> 1580<br /> 1581<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/23092204536/in/album-72157660591302147/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5802/23092204536_df18c790f7.jpg" width="400"></a>

1581<br /> 1582<br /> 1583As much as Satchel loves to eat ravioli, he is not usually into making it. He stayed outside most of the time riding his Swegway with the other kids. Jiro did come in and help for awhile, which was sweet. Chip took a bunch of pictures, but his computer broke or something, so I am making due with mine!<br /> 1584<br /> 1585<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/23092409516/in/album-72157660591302147/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5690/23092409516_81ae7bc57b.jpg" width="400"></a>

1585<br /> 1586<br /> 1587We were aiming for 50 dozen this year, but I think we capped out around 38? I could seriously make ravioli all day. I love it.<br /> 1588<br /> 1589<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/23104299132/in/album-72157660591302147/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="295" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5700/23104299132_9f9248e354.jpg" width="400"></a>

1589<br /> 1590<br /> 1591There's always lots of laughter, and not just because we are making jokes about ball size.<br /> 1592<br /> 1593<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/22726144089/in/album-72157660591302147/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="375" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/764/22726144089_7e4fa97a4f.jpg" width="500"></a>

1593<br /> 1594<br /> 1595We eventually lured Aunt Elizabeth over with disturbing photos of giant balls and triangle raviolis.<br /> 1596<br /> 1597<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/56254348@N00/22725952789/in/album-72157660591302147/" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="375" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5799/22725952789_dd8a7ff51c.jpg" width="500"></a>
