It's been a long, long week. But i've had a lovely weekend, thus far. I'm going to avoid talking about the week so much, and focus on the weekend. I was supposed to have a day off on Friday, but wound up working from home all damned day. Good that i was home, at least. (Ok, that's the last of the work talk!) Forrest came over for dinner on Friday night - i tested out some non-dairy versions of recipes i'm playing with. He's such a good testbed! It was great to see him and chat, and good to finallly get to show him the house.
Saturday morning Mike came over to hang out, and we went out for breakfast, ordered wine from Navarro and Bonny Doon, and did a bit of work on the rec room that allowed us to set up some networked Quake3. Coffee, beignets, and killing each other, loudly - a really nice afternoon. Saturday evening we had on our own, and had a chance to sit quietly on our lovely couches and read while sipping chai with Grand Marnier. I really do like my house, a lot.
Today we'll be checking out the annual Bernal Hill Festival, hopefully with Carrie - and then i'll be working on Duane's 40th birthday dinner. I've settled on a Creole menu, and am finally getting to serve up Ramos Gin Fizzes - i'm gonna try and shake the first one by hand (90 seconds of shaking! Jeeeeeepers) and then will probably resort to the blender for the rest. Look for a menu and recipes on Gastronome next week...
Speaking of Gastronome, Miss Beca has posed a lovely topic for discussion over there. I invite you all to drop by and join in the commentary!
(This chattery update brought to you by my Sunday morning coffee, Goblin, and an apple.)
