Busy Busy Weekend


Another weekend has come and gone. We didn't do much this weekend. Dennis worked most of it, and for the most part, baby and I stayed home too. We had a somewhat stormy start on Saturday as both of us were really bored with the breakfast options we had at home and really wanted to go out but had to stay in because of work deadline. We should just have gone out then for a walk or for a proper breakfast for, as it turns out, we were all so miserable by noon that we went out and splurged on a nice lunch in La Jolla anyway.

The highlight of the weekend was our little outing to the Four Seasons at Carlsbad for Dennis's company dinner. It was a nice break for Dennis and I. We had a lovely time, I had my Cosmo, and Zoe gave baby sitters Dave and Emily an easy time - she slept through it all. :)

On Sunday, our good friends Keith and Teodora and their daughter came over for breakfast. We served Dennis' tried and true scrambled eggs (always soft and fluffy) and tried out another pancake recipe. This time, the recipe came from the Best Recipe Book. It turned out well - light and fluffy, though I don't think it is significantly better or different from the recipe from the Joy of Cooking. It is Dennis' second time making pancakes from scratch and I don't think he will be going back to the box anytime soon. The rest of the day disappeared into work - for Dennis - and errands and cooking for me. Baby? Well, she did what she always does. She ate, she slept, she made us change her diapers and she made us laugh.
