Friday I had to go into the office for a while although it was my day off (more on that later), but after that I met up with chaiya. We hadn't been able to catch up in a while, and planning and making Shabbat dinner was a good excuse. It is funny how easily I was able to slip right back into the rules of the kitchen.

Dinner was very tasty. crazybone, hakamadare, and A all helped too. We made a poached salmon with a creamed leek sauce, pureed pasnips, sauteed spinach, mixed diced root vegetables and lava cakes. The last was accomplished pretty much entirely single-handedly by hakamadare, although the icecream was chosen and dished out mostly by Chiquita.

Saturday was the Arisia debrief. I still need to finish my written report, but I had the rough numbers crunched in time. Many thanks to everyone who contributed time and energy to making Arisia programming so successful this year!

Afterwards majes and I were able to slip away for some time together. I was fairly fried, but he was amazing and held up the logistics while I babbled at him. We had tasty Afghanistani food, wandered home, and still went hiking in the morning (though for a short hike given other time pressures).

Sunday salvbard, Chiquita and I were priveleged to have brunch with jasra, her parents and majes. S&S does a great brunch, and the company was lovely. Then it was home for a nap, watching the birds at the feeders, and making dinner with salvbard.

Yay great weekend. Apparently I was really focused on the food and company :)
