We had a packed weekend meeting with old friends and enjoying the weather. Last night we ate dinner with Ben Fowler and Matt Lavine at LuLu's. The witty humor keeps you on your toes and the food was delicious as always. This morning we ate brunch with Melanie Barton and her boyfriend Sasha. It was wonderful to catch-up with Mel- now that she lives in Washington, D.C. we don't get to talk too often. She is such a wonderful friend, it was good to hear that she is well and to meet her very nice friend!

When we got home, we made the a snowman with the sticky snow covering the ground. Last year we didn't get good sticky snow- so this year we made up for it getting eachother with a couple of well placed snowballs and making a snowman. Since Mark has had more experience (being from West Virgina) with snowy creations, he led the way and we put together a 5'6" snow man with a top hat, corn-cob pipe and cute arms using a snowman kit Nancy got us for Christmas several years ago. It is good to know that we will never be too old to play in the snow!!

As for cooking, I made another batch of frozen rolls to enjoy, cabbage and turkey sausage (our version of bangers and sqweekers), and lastly chicken and garlic with cream of mushroom- the best yet! I also made some biscotti following Julia Child's recipe, but I didn't prefer it to the version we had a Burr and Natalie's.
