Jeepers, have i been a busy cookie lately. Just for you, my faithful (uh, maybe all two of you?) readers, a quick overview of life in the last week:
I helped some dear friends finish moving on Saturday. I felt good about leaving their kitchen clean and with uncluttered counters, too.
I experimented with adding color to my bath biscuits, and was braver with my scent mixes. Results? I'm especially enjoying my take on the scent of lush's butter bombs, and i think i'm going to save the color for melt & pour soaps. They look nice, but the color sticks to any oil (cocoa butter, anyone?) left on the tub.
Sunday i hosted a birthday bbq for Heather. I think it went well. Even the meat-eaters seemed happy with the food. I think i overcooked the shiitakes, but others liked them. I'll write up the menu for gastronome soon, i promise.
Work has been a serious flurry - closing down projects is always a joy. Long nights, early mornings, lots of work. Yesterday morning i gave a key project-related presenation to a series of VPs, including my Sr. VP. Seems to have gone well. Our project was approved.
Tonight i'm trying a new restaurant - The Village Pub, in Woodside. Chef Mark Sullivan pulled in one of Food & Wine's Best New Chef awards this year. I'll be sure to report back.
Saturday i return to the office, for an exciting BRB. Saturday night i hope to experiment on The Rebecca with Rebecca.
