long weekend
Hey guys! I had a super awesome weekend. Friday night the Bedards and Ani came into town for GT's 60th birthday party (which was awesome) and then we all went to Murphy's for a pint o Guinness. Saturday was Jenn and Will's wedding (gorgeous, personal, memorable, and fun!) then to R place with Allison and 4 adorable gay men. Sunday I pinned three quilts and quilted one, then came down with the cold/flu that's been going around my office for weeks. Monday was gorgeous AND a paid holiday, so it was a total waste of a sick day, but at least I watched all my netflix that had been hanging around for three weeks, got about 10% of my hand quilting project done, and even some laundry besides, so it wasn't a total loss.

culinary adventures
so last weekend was a feast-fest. I ate well and drank a lot.
thursday: meatloaf and mashed potatoes, berry crumble, and something red with chris and jade.
friday: wine night at monica's: fettucine with salmon and lemon zest, apple pie, many something reds (mostly from washington)
saturday: squash-themed dinner party at dave and lisa's: savory sage-infused soup with pancetta, some kind of bread-pudding-like baked dish without the bread, chorizo-stuffed butternut halves, and creme brulee. also, something red.
sunday: pie party chez my parents for their birthdays. two each pecan, lemon meringue, apple, marionberry, rhubarb, and banana cream. also the best guacamole i've ever made. THEN paella at justyn's with sausage, chicken, shrimp, mussels, and clams. yum. more red wine.
so i had a pretty tasty weekend but gained three pounds. hmmm.
tonight i'm making delicious valentine treats, tomorrow my new red shoes AND jenn and will's wedding present AND my 40 yards of quilt batting are all supposed to be delivered to my office (o happy day!), and then friday michela and brian come to town for terry steig's 60th birthday party. saturday jenn and will get married, then i have the rest of the weekend to sew, sew, sew!
mission: one or two dresses and maybe new shoes for under a hundred bucks. i already checked out shoes at the rack (and impulsively bought lime green slingback wedges for only $15) but didn't get to their dress section, although the girl in front of me in line had two formals for $30 each so i think i have to go back there today. macy's had two gorgeous options for over $100 each but the presidents' day sale starts today so maybe i'll get lucky there. banana republic had one fun and flirty but less flattering dress, also over $100. sheesh.
