A very nice holiday weekend
Dec. 27th, 2011 09:24 pmDespite the ongoing drain of the sinus infection I have had a rather lovely holiday weekend. On Friday Russell and I went up to Watercourse Way for a hot tub. We had hoped to go on to Oakland for the Zoo Lights in the evening but that was beyond my energy level. So we used the Open Table app to find a restaurant that was open in the afternoon and settled on a lovely Persian restaurant in Cupertino. It turned out to be in the old Pizzeria Uno location and I had some lovely lamb chops and Russell had a kebab. We were both very happy with the food and the service and will definitely return.
On Saturday Russell went to see a movie and I stayed home to play WoW and cook the ham for our Christmas Eve dinner at Stephanie's home. Sometime during the course of the afternoon the stove had a power failure... just the stove. Ack. So getting to Stephanie's was a bit more stressful than I had expected but we weren't the last folks to arrive and the food and company was excellent as always.
Sunday we went over to join Kurt & Marina's family for a midday hot tub and hung out with them whilst their dinner cooked. Then home for a nap before heading to Denise & TC's to join Brigid & Fiona and some other friends at Denise's sumptuous feast.
Monday Erika & Reaps came by and Russell & Erika headed off to the wine country and Reaps and I hung out and visited until Kurt came by and we headed off to Petra & Chris' for boxing day. They had a turkey on the grill (my first prepared that way) and it was wonderfully juicy. We also threw some of the ham steak on grill and it was lovely too. Then over to Nette's where many folk were gathered and it was more hot tub and feasting goodness.
So an wonderfully friendly and feastly weekend. Saturday was the only day that I went over my carbs and I was under my calories the whole time. So yay.
