A Happy Wilmo Weekend
The house is ever more trashed, but it was a fun-filled weekend. Friday night was "Supper Club" and I was the cook. I made penne with chicken and homemade garlic-scape pesto, salad, and Italian Cream Cake. Yum. After dinner we strolled up to the new Aldrichs to check out the goods. Very crowded, hard to see what was really there. Subsequent trips later in the weekend filled in the blanks. Sammy (and mommy) loved the free samples of soft serve ice cream.
Saturday morning was Farmers Market day, picking up our first Farm Share. We got carrots, cucumber, two kinds of lettuce, endive, dill, green onion, beets, spinach, chard, parsley, and snow peas. Turns out I'm the only person in PT that went for the farm share, though they sold lots of "Nash Bucks." I just want them to tell me what's fresh, pack it up for me, and have it ready to go. No brainer produce.
Saturday night we had dinner with some friends nearby. These are people I would probably be friends with if we all still lived in Seattle. They used to live in my old neighborhood, and we all get along well. Our kids have trouble playing together though. They have a girl Sam's age and the two of them haven't figured out how to play well together. I'm sure with time it will all work out. Their gorgeous son is nearly a year old. When I was holding him, he patted my chest, got a gleam in his eye, and tried to nosedive. Funny how nursing babies recognize a nursing mom.
Sunday morning was a birthday party for a two year old girl up the street. Lots of kids, and twice as many adults. The great thing about these parties is the yards are always fenced, there are plenty of toys, and great (and kid friendly) food. Very easy for the whole family to have a good time.
In the afternoon we drove out to Cape George to visit another friend, who has an 18month old daughter. We brought dinner (including a fantastic beet salad, my first time cooking beets). Early evening home, Steve went in to work for a few hours, a little Family Guy, and bed.
(It has taken me two hours to write this post, what with kids needs and a walk to Sam's school. I was much more enthusiastic about it when I started. Gah.)

The parenthetical at the end was a great touch, Beth.
