I heart weekends...

And what a fun weekend to heart... Not only was the lovers' brunch yesterday at the Otto's home, but I don't have to work tomorrow!!  Woo Woo!!  Mary and I are going to stretch our legs in the front range.  Snowshoeing was a possibility, but with all the sun we've had, there certainly isn't going to be snow anywhere close.   I was delighted to spend lots of time with Tom this weekend, too, though he has to work tomorrow.  He has been cooking up a storm.  And while the saying goes about the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, it might apply to me, too.  Listen to these recipes: tomato & roasted red pepper soup with roughy, shrimp, and scallops in it with homemade tortillas on the side.  Campanella noodles with strips of vegetables sauteed in a tomato-y cream sauce with garlic and onions and pesto bread.  Yum!!  Vanilla and caramel ice cream...Oh goodness!  I am going to have to fast the rest of the week!   The other delight is that Tom likes thrifting.  We went and found valentines for under a pbuck apiece at the Goodwill on our way to the lovers' brunch.  It was a scream finding things for everyone.  I also keep finding these old orange bits and pieces - containers and jars and such for pasta or cous cous or whatnot.  The older the better.  It has been fun making fun of things and laughing at the odd things we see that someone else has given away, or wondering why they didn't give them away sooner.  Oh la...peace and love to you...
