i was on the fence about checking out the cambridge may fair until alisa got in touch with me. i met her along with a classmate down at harvard square. for whatever reason (the rain postponed date, mother day's, ongoing construction work) the turnout seemed much less than in years past. the event seems like a glorified place for vendors to sell stuff (handicrafts, food, local services). my favorite part is the chalk murals, although nothing really stood out. after we walked around a bit i called it a day and went home.

my parents and sister came over to my place for dinner. i was making barbecue chicken pizza. i went to market basket this morning to get some ingredients and made some pizza dough earlier with the bread machine. the pizza came out better than expect, but the crust seemed a little dry and stale for some reason, the opposite of my last homemade pizza, where the crust was too soft.
