More than ever

Surprises

We escaped to the mountains for a weekend, and it was perfect.

St. Valentine

Please go and see Light Sensitive: Photographic Works from North Carolina Collections, at the Nasher. It's maybe for real possibly the best photo show I've seen... ever.

And, happy Valentine's day... from Mabel. (She ate that cookie in 2 seconds.)

Mardi Gras

This weekend, I made gumbo. Because it's mardi gras, and also why not? I used this recipe, which I fully recommend and endorse, it turned out very well - even though I absolutely burned my roux the first go round, and had to start over.

There was also ice skating, brussels sprout pizza, and a trip to the vet for Mabel... weekends should be longer.

Weekend

Aren't you glad February is a short month? Let's get through these grey days. I put these bright tulips in my living room- something to remind me that, in fact, spring is coming.
