Heh. Yes, it's that time when a sunburn starts to peel. So for the last two days I've been walking around with my skin flaking off in little bits. Attractive, eh?

In other news, the trip to Madison this weekend was lovely. The weather was a bit cold, especially with the wind coming off the lakes, but at least it wasn't raining. State Street made me envious. All that shopping! All that food! I finally got a masala dosa for the first time in way too long. S's brother met us there for lunch and a couple of hours of beer drinking, and then we went to hear my aunt tell her story at the festival. Just as I suspected, she is, not so secretly, hilarious. It was great to get to see her and introduce her to my friends.

On the drive back the next morning my friends introduced me to cheese curds, a form of cheese that doesn't taste much different than regular cheddar (although it does have a pleasing squeakiness), but that is apparently trying to kill you. One serving is a 1-inch square cube, and that has 30% of your saturated fat for the day. Ah, sweet sweet heart attack. And also possibly the unhealthiest thing I've ever heard of you being able to buy at a farmer's market.
