I came home exhausted and Rob also had a busy day, so we decided to go out for 'soup dumplings.' Soup dumplings have to be one of my favorite things to eat. It's a dumpling that has pork or crab meat and a broth inside of it.

Mmmmm.

I always get my own order.

We went for a bike ride to the Greenpoint Farmers Market in Mccaren Park. For years, I thought that Mccaren Park was in Williamsburg, but it is in fact in my town. It's a rather small Farmers Market, compared to the one in Union Square and it is always crowded. We purchased Boston Lettuce from one of the stands and when I got ready to wash the lettuce I noticed a dead ladybug in one of the leaves.

We have decided to try to start eating healthier. So we found this great recipe, Quinoa with Spice-Roasted Shrimp and Pistou from the Healthy Eating section of Food and Wine Magazine. For our side we made a summer squash, chantrelle mushroom, onion and red pepper stir fry.

For dinner Rob made chicken carnitas. The original recipe from the New York Times calls for pork, but he subsituted chicken for pork. It is such a great recipe and if you make homemade salsa it makes it even better. Original recipe found here.
