It’s already Thursday and I am just getting around to posting about the weekend, whew! It has been a busy week so far, John is in Atlanta and of course it happens to fall on the week of my sales conference, so I have had stuff going on almost every evening. Back to the weekend, we had a nice, relaxing time. Friday night, we had some friends over to watch the Redwings game. Of course, it did not end favorably for John, but was a good game (I even watched, sort of, I was reading magazines but at least I was in the room!). On Saturday, John went golfing, and I went shopping. I did not buy anything really exciting, but I did find some stuff on sale which is rare for me. Unfortunately, I am not really a “bargain shopper” and if something is on sale, it is generally not in my size, so I was excited about my savings. On Saturday night, we went to one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte, Roosters. We met the Murphy’s there and had quite a feast. Here is what we ate:
Appetizers: smoked salmon, cheese plate (goat lady chevre, mahon, and cana de cabra* if you like cheese, do yourself a favor and pick up some cana de cabra, it was awesome)
Salad: Iceburg, bacon and blue cheese for Megan and me, the guys shared a pizza
Mains: shrimp, duck confit
Sides: margaux’s succotash, parmesan gnocchi w/ arugula pesto and au gratin potatoes
Even though it seems like a ton of food, the servings are small plates, so you really just get a tasting of everything, see:
Before we went to dinner, we decided to take a few pictures of Morgan. It is really hard to get her settled enough to photograph, and have us look decent too, but here are the best ones:
After dinner, we went to the epicenter uptown to watch “Up” such a cute movie!
On Sunday, we designated it “clean up the courtyard day” and John trimmed trees, I dug up some weeds and cut back the vines growing on the side of the house. It is looking nice now and we are ready to start the summer bbq’ing.
