It's a mellow Friday night. Conrad got home about an hour and a half ago, we've had dinner (salmon), we're sipping wine and dealing with a few things related to finances and our upcoming Hawaiian vacation (YES!!!!). Some music playing. A good weekend ahead, according to our plans.
So let me get caught up.
I shan't worry about where I last left off and try to figure out everything I've done since. Instead, a few highlights:
A visit to TK.
And Michael, who doesn't care to be photographed. And Coney and Buster, my two favourite dogs in the world.
Go ahead, ask me how much dog hair I brought home on my clothes. Those dogs got some love from me! A quick weekend in Baltimore, but for a chance to see my best friend (and really, I can never say enough good things about Todd) and enjoy conversations while strolling around the lake? So worth it. Add in those banana desserts
at the Taste of the Town fundraiser event, and, well, we've got a memorable visit indeed.
Vancouver. An even shorter weekend there, but enough time to get in a good run around Stanley Park followed by breakfast and coffee at Safari Cafe.
Ah, Safari, we have missed you. Never close, Adam, please. Time spent with friends,
birthday cake,
and some new furniture.
Oh, and have I mentioned how freaking gorgeous that city is in the spring sunshine?
A return to
Girl and the Goat. Eric was in town,
so we caught up over some small plates and (for me) drinks at the bar. I'm a fan, though I've only been there a few times. The shishito peppers once again were a star.
Breakfast with a library bigwig. Well, he might not think so, but Jeff lit up the library blogosphere last year. It was a real pleasure to sit down with him for a leisurely meal and discuss matters related to our profession and otherwise. And may I say that the man has some fine suits and shoes!
Small plates and cocktails at
Erwin.
It's not that far south of Yoshi's, and yet it's mostly off our radar, sad to say. Conrad was out of town, but Michael
happily came along while I used up a Groupon. French fries, properly salty.
Yum!
So that's the world of Peter lately, and much food involved, of course. I will need to do some trimming down for a conference in Anaheim next month, but for now, I am content. And oh so happy to have Conrad home!
