Reach Out (I'll be there)

I know I am so lucky to have the friends that I have.  The words to this theme/song kind of sum it all up.  Just had a girls weekend in San Francisco.  It was fleeting but I had time to visit the ferry building market, see some bridges, climb some hills and just spend time with my soul mates. Came home with a great big grin on my face.

 The three of us about to get blown away by the wind.

Brown Sugar

Last weekend our friend Greg cooked dinner.  Not just any old dinner.  This was a feast of magnificent proportions.  It was a labor of love (at least 24 hours of cooking were involved) and it was seriously unlike anything I have ever eaten before in my life.  To start off the evening he served stuffed artichokes and then came the main event -  "Bo Ssam" from the Momofuku cookbook. I can't do it justice but there were noodles with ginger and scallions, oysters, various types of kimchi, lettuce cups, and then the 12lb pork shoulder roast... with BROWN SUGAR on top.  This slow roasted for hours and you just poked it with a fork to pull it apart.  You gathered as many of the above items as you could into a lettuce cup with various sauces and you tried to deal with the flavor explosion in your mouth.  DIVINE.  Of course Greg doesn't do anything unless he goes the whole way so on the side we had asparagus with miso butter and a soft boiled egg that just gently fell out of its shell and created a little piece of heaven. We sure know how to pick amazing (and talented) friends!

Games people play

My friend's birthday started innocently enough.  Then this game came out...

Somebody to Love

Lucky to be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary.  Lucky that i found somebody to love. Here he is drinking his coffee in Greenport.

 We visited art galleries and antique shops and I found this little sign in the window.

 We checked out the windy beaches.  Brrrr.
