In honor of the beautiful weather today, Eben and I got home early and took our bikes out for a ride. My bike was my Christmas gift from Eben this past year. He re-vamped and rebuilt his mother's 13th birthday bike for me. It had been hanging in their garage for years and was covered in rust without functioning gears or breaks. He took the whole thing apart, cleaned it, steel-wooled it to remove the rust, and then rebuilt it. He also added a basket and little yellow horn for me!
We rode along the bike path in Cambridge to Spy Pond. It was really nice to sit on the sun warmed rocks. Lots of people were out, running, biking, and rollerbladeing. We journeyed through Arlington Center where I finally found what looks like a really great fabric store (high quality fabric is surprisingly hard to come by in Boston). We also saw several restaurants we're excited to try in the coming summer months. It was really nice to get out and enjoy some warm fresh air! 
When we got home, I made us sweet potato orzo with chicken and goat cheese. It's a recipe I got from this month's issue of Cooking Light. The sweet potato orzo was one of the few purchases we made while on our Pacific Northwest trip a month ago. We got it at Pike Place Market in Seattle from a gourmet pasta vendor. Tonight's dinner was a nice fresh, light change from the (super yummy, but super cheesy) lasagna I've been eating for the last 3 nights.
