a good weekend



This weekend was a busy one for me. Once I was able to begin keeping my food down, I started to really have a good time.



Friday night Big Andy and Little Tiger when to the Mutty's for a wonderful eight course meal.





Demitasse of Chilled Green Pea soup with shave fennel and a Parnod waft serverd with a Sancerre Bernard Reverdy 2006...Steve had the creative and incredible foresight to paint the back side of the each little bowl of soup with Pernod to get just that 'waft' of anise oil


This was the warm Caponatina of Swiss Chard and Cannellini Beans over wilted Baby Arugula with fresh Mozzarella and Genoa Salami jerky


Mmmmm....."Griglia Mista" - a mixed grill of meats with accompaniments server with Montegauro Piedirosso dei Campi Flegrei, Riserva 2004 & Chateau la Lagune, Grand Cru Classe Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux 2004


This was the preparation of the Dessert Course: Terrine of Crepes, layered with chocolate and flambe' with bittersweet oranges

Did I get asked to join?

Of course not. Always the bridesdog, never the bride. And while they were there enjoying God's gift to food. They left me in the ole' Laundry room where I enjoyed naps on the floor. Saturday was a different story however....

Big Andy took me to the nursery where we picked up some flagstone. And while I thought he was spending his money on a wonderful snack for me. In fact, he was building a wall around a flower bed out back. While he lugged the rocks around the yard, I was able to lie on the deck and relax in the sun. This is me chomping on sticks in the back yard...



After that I thought we were done for the evening, and I would be able to jump on Big Andy and Little Tiger while they sat on the couch.

I was wrong.

We got to go and visit my best friend Aunt Casey.



We went over to Bob's house around 5 PM or so and I dined on some delicious vienna sausages wrapped in american cheese. I wanted to make sure I shared, so I knocked off a few for my older relative and we ate in style. After dinner we all went outside for some exercise, and while the rest of the group sat around a fire...I was able to run my sprints through the group.



After 45 minutes of this, they went and sat in a big pot of hot water, while I was left to fend for myself on the deck, and 38 degree weather until 2AM.

After waking up on Sunday and playing with Casey for a few more hours, we headed back home and I was pooped. I couldn't keep my eyes open to save my life...

Ella for which all things revolve around
