Leah’s birthday is this weekend. She’s started celebrating already by staying home sick in bed today with a hacking cough. At least Ava’s at daycare so Leah can rest.
Leah’s fam is rolling into town starting tomorrow to celebrate on Saturday. Kevin and I are making dinner for Leah and Rachel tomorrow night. The menu includes mushrooms with thyme and mozzarella, chicken saltimbocca, cauliflower risotto, and creme brulee. I’m taking tomorrow off to do the shopping and cooking. A couple of these recipes come from Jamie Oliver’s Italy cookbook, which I recommend for the photographs alone; it’s wonderful.
Looks like the weather here is going to be OK for traveling. As you may recall, Leah’s last two birthdays were a washout, thanks to ice storms here. What’re the odds? She deserves a break.
I’m feeling pretty good today, as I’ve finally discovered a Web site that provides lots and lots of information on what it’s like to be white. I’ve long thought that what the Internet needs is more detailed study on stuff white people like. Now, I have it. At last.
