Happy Sunday, happy February! It's been a good weekend at home - some of our usual fun, some things done. So I'm happy to check in and share a little of what we did. Ready? Let's go!
Friday means Maestro, and we duly found ourselves at a corner of the bar.
A mocktail
and some guacamole to start with, and then we dug into the special LA dining week menu. Tetela for Conrad and Van each to start with,
calamari for me.
I had duck carnitas as my meal,
and then each of us ordered the jericalla for dessert.
An early meal, and a mild, early night - Van had headed home by 7:30, and Conrad and I just relaxed with reading and music the rest of the night.
Saturday morning was a lovely morning for a walk on the earlier side, then over to Amara, each of us having what we so often do.
A decaf latte for me,
an arepa for my breakfast.
Satisfying!
And then we came home and got stuff done. Post-Christmas de-cluttering, badly needed. Wines in the new wine fridge, books weeded out and the shelves re-arranged. It was quite the undertaking, truly. But ah, I love seeing those tidier shelves!
Last night we spent the evening at Van's. We had every intention of a full night of Drag Race, but we only made it through one episode after dinner. Nice enough dinner, though: steak topped with caramelized onions and blue cheese.
Cooked perhaps too rare, but ah well. Huge steaks! Not one of us could finish them. A pear crisp for dessert as well - that was a nice one. I sipped some red wine with dinner -
February 1, and my dry month was done. We actually each had a cocktail to start with -
Last Words, of course -
and I have to say that after a month of no drinking, that cocktail was POTENT. I shan't have anything with our pizza and the Grammys tonight, and I'll keep things under control in days and weeks ahead.
A good weekend, not yet done. I've managed a lot of reading, listened to some new music, did a five-mile walk this morning by myself. Laundry is on the go. Productive, relaxing. A great mix.
