First day off and I'm totally about relaxing. Finished a book, went for a walk with Kevin to the top of the street, had lunch at the Portuguese Bakery and did a little shopping. Gaelan called today and told me she found two dresses she liked for her wedding. I'm going with her on Tuesday to check them out and make a decision. For a wedding that is going to be pretty untraditional, the dresses sound very traditional. I'm pretty excited about the process. Gaelan made me promise I wouldn't cry when she models the dresses. A pretty big order!
On Wednesday Kevin and I are going to Chatham to visit with Chris and Dan. Our plans include going to the wineries to check out the wines for the wedding. I haven't started my diet yet. Before I know it Sept. 10 will be here and I won't have lost any weight. Oh by the way our visit includes an evening at the pub for St. Patrick's Day. Got any strategies to get started. Once I get going I'm fine.
Last week I went to the movies with Liz and we saw The Black Swan. Very disturbing movie. Certainly not one you want to take young children to.
Read any good books lately? At my book club this week we discussed Room. Interesting book. Everyone liked it, some more than others. We also liked the last book, Cutting for Stone. The book I just finished is for the next meeting and I liked that one too. Sarah's Key has been on the best seller's list for weeks and I can see why. I get a feeling though that not everyone liked the book as much as I did. Difference of opinion makes for interesting discussions. Best sellers are not always big hits with our group. One of our all time favourites that everyone rated really high was The Help. A must read!
Anyway I thought it would be nice to share movies and books that we've enjoyed or not on this site.
Does anyone have a good recipe for tiramasu? I'd like to make it for a dinner I'm going to.
Actually the dinner will be at the Lighthouse Inn. It is situated at the mouth of the Thames River and has excellent seafood. It is more of a restaurant than a pub, but they will be serving green beer. Looking forward to your visit.
ReplyDeleteHi, just got back from Vegas. The weather was beautiful but I didn't get to enjoy it much because i was flat on my back with the flu. I never get sick so of course when I do its when i go away. If you want to lose weight fast just get the flu. On the up side, didn't spend a lot of money. Sorry no recipe for tiramasu. talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteI found great recipe for tiramisu. Here's the link:
