A weekend of friends, meeting new people, family, food, fun, a solid workout, and quality couch time. After the super-busy week, I stayed in on Friday night to recover, then up early on Saturday for a long and much-needed workout. Saturday was First Saturday brunch with the beach house ladies at DuMont, followed by lingering at Walter Foods for much of the late afternoon/early evening, full of great conversation, hearty laughter, and meeting new people along the way. Sunday started with Mexican brunch with Mom & Stephen (mmm, chilaquiles!), then a wine tasting at City Winery. Before dinner, I made some delicious butternut squash soup — mirepoix with a touch of chili flake, roasted squash, duck/chix stock, pureed and finished with a drop each of heavy cream and sherry (looking forward to it for lunch today!). Finally, dinner with Rob at Maialino. And now, facing Monday morning. Sigh.
