We are having a fun and a busy time with Kimberly and William. We went to a shopping area to find some sun yesterday, had lunch at a bakery we have eaten in for years, walked the entire Avenue, bought handmade chocolates and they bought some alcohol to take home as it is so much less expensive here. It still is hard for me to let our son buy us lunch. Seems so wrong, somehow. But, still very sweet and we were very touched that he insisted.
We went to our little organic market on the way home to buy some zucchini, arugula and a variety of Chinese mushrooms along with a baguette and goat cheese. We all made dinner together: appetizer of toasted crostini topped with goat cheese and leftover prosciutto and fig jam, grilled some steaks we had in the freezer that a butcher friend gave to Michael which we topped with fresh arugula, cut and grilled the zucchini seasoned with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes and finally the sliced Chinese mushrooms grilled then served with hot sesame oil. Oh, and leftover birthday cake!
We are addicted to Breaking Bad and they are addicted to the whole Kardashian clan so we watched both. Michael had never seen the Kardashians and was rather appalled by their behavior. He kept saying that he hoped it would all be a blur in the morning and that it wouldn't invade his brain. Ha! We fell into bed and slept like babies again.
Full day ahead. We are heading to the tide pools just a few minutes north of here. Our food will be limited today as we are all feeling too full. Eggs tonight! Tomorrow night, we have reservations at our favorite French restaurant in the city and our friend Don will be joining us. William loves their Daube. Lamb Daube. I may have to stick with the fish as I am really watching my calorie intake.
It feels so good to have people in the house. It feels full and happy. I find myself smiling a lot.
