Hot & Busy Weekend

Hi everyone. We had a pretty busy weekend. On Friday, we picked up some friends and went down to the South Street Seaport, on the tip of Manhattan where we had dinner at Salut, a South American tapas restaurant, which featured lots of little plates of food. It was hot and crowded down there, but is a good place to go with a car since there isn't much public transport and parking is usually easy to find.

On Saturday we went to Bed Bath & Beyond to pick up a bunch of household sundry items. We found one of their ubiquitous coupons which made some of the sundries free. After that we stopped at the grocery store to get some munchies to take to a party we were going to later. When we got home we stuffed some squash flowers and sauteed them; they were great but labor intensive. Then we attended a big Bach celebration and reception in the early evening which featured lots of classical music. Then we popped into Lisa's apartment for a movie party which started late. We got home at midnight at which point we were pretty tired.

This morning we had some blueberries and whipped cream for breakfast and then headed off to church, which was unusually long. We didn't finish that til 1:30 or so. Then we came home and rested while we figured out dinner. We had some fresh vegetables from Vermont still, so we made egg noodles tossed with pancetta and leeks with a side of zucchini. We finally used one of our wedding gift cards and ordered some lobster for a dinner we are having next weekend. I'm doing a few search related things now and then we're going to wind down by watching a movie.

It's been a busy, and hot weekend. But we're fine and happy. The pets love that we keep the air conditioning on for them.
