Last week seemed to zoom by (which is never a bad thing in February...). Even the crap load of snow we got didn't bother me. There was a delayed opening of the office on Wednesday morning so the four-leggeds and I had a bit of a lie-in before the shovelling. A neighborhood hero snowblowed my little driveway TWICE (you know who you are) and Super Colby (of Colby Daniels Service Centre) kept the big driveway clear.
Last night I was invited to a four-course Italian meal prepared by my friend Craig. Antipasto to begin, a pasta course (a homemade pasta with two sauces: butter sage and Gorgonzola...ya better believe it I tried both!) followed by a stuffed pork with creamy parsnips, fennel braised in orange juice and asparagus. Dessert was a panecotta served with a marscapone cheese topping, raspberry sauce and fruit that had been marinated in amaretto. Delish. I got all dolled up and pulled out the Michael Kors. Amazing what dressing up can do for your psyche.
On slate for today: working on my Bookclub homework (part of it is done...the Melissa Kit part..but gotta do up my ATCs and my kit for Peep X), a walk, a nap, diving into a new book, laundry, splitting some kindling, making a pot of chili and going to dog class. Sweet Day.
PS-The "word" arrived at its destination...Joline has it posted on her bulletin board at work :)

I sure wish my week flew by like yours, I believe it was the longest one I have felt in ages. I did manage to get my Paulette Kit finished, and boy I pity whoever comes next (that kit was HUGE!) I do have my ATC's to do today... at least I hope today and I have to get my get for peep x done too! Glad to hear you had a great week and tell me, just how did you manage to eat all 4 courses of that meal it sounded DELICIOUS!

I'm salivating just looking at that menu... The boring old chicken stew for supper suddenly feels just blah! So, what is "the word"? Or is it going to remain a big secret...? And by the way, what are ATCs? (Atomic Tomato Chips? Amazing Thoughtful Chicks? Attentive Toddler Children? (No... that one is impossible!) Just wondering...
Oh my... just reading about the Italian dinner was almost enough to satisgy my taste buds...I said ALMOST! Love the pic and can't wait to see you!

You and your friends eat so well! Thinking my breakfast this morning won't be that yummy. Love the pics of your babies. Take care. Have not forgotten about sharing a bottle of wine some evening, just waiting for an evening with no activities.........never seems to happen.
I still havn't figured out why you don't weigh 300 lbs the way your friends cook!!!! That mean made me gain 3 lbs and I just read about it!!!!
Mmmm...that does sound delish, Taryn! You are so lucky to have such wonderful friends! Love this pics of Zeut, too! What a handsome kitty you have! xoxo
The word is "WORTH". And I am still struggling with it some days. I needed the beautiful reminder from a good friend who will not let me forget it :)
Love the profile of Zeut. So regal-like. SO PRR-fect.
