Sunday - At Home

Beautiful weather today - 70's, sunny, breezy. Sat on the deck with coffee and the Sunday Boston Globe until I went for breakfast with good friends.

What did I have? My favorite breakfast of over easy eggs, corned beef hash, whole wheat toast and potatoes with coffee, oj and 1 blueberry pancake. Simple, good food.

Here's how things went since I got home:

I got home on Tuesday afternoon. 97 & humid in Boston when I arrived (yeah!), got my bags and headed to the house where it was not as cool as I had hoped. After closing windows, turning on ceiling fans and a/c units I had chinese food and hung out with my family. It was a good night to be home.

Wednesday - Another hot & humid day in Boston and I had a million things that I needed to get done. Went to apply for the marriage license and get the wedding rings. Stopped by my doctor's office to pick up some prescriptions and get those filled and indulged in my favorite beverage - an iced vanilla latte with whipped cream on top. Then it was over to Whole Foods Market to buy a few items including food for dinner and home.

Saturday I went out and bought my wedding dress at Talbots. It's incredibly beautiful and I am so glad that I found it.

And last but not least I found out that I suddenly have developed an allergy to lobster!!! I didn't even think that it was possible to get an allergy to something that you have eaten for the past 30 years but apparently you can and I did. Now I am wondering if that means no more shrimp, crab and clams either....

Tonight I am heading out on the deck with cheese (herbed goat cheese, l'edel de cleron), crackers, garlic dip, pretzels, chipotle cashews and Harpoon Hefeweizen Raspberry beer. Our good friends are coming over for awhile. After that it will easy dinner - steak, corn on the cob and potatoes.

Summer is here and the deck is officially open!
