2 day pass

in so far as last hurrahs go, this weekend was a fine farewell to summer vacation.
this tuesday morning...this first day of school was met with more eagerness and excitement than i expected.
t. bone and miss bit enjoyed a weekend of cousin time at grandma and grandpa's.
also pool time.
and tee times for some too.
yes plural.
coach went out with the boys for badger time and also some harley festivities saturday.
i went out with the girls for dinner and drinks and a little bike gawking.
we shared another delicious flatbread.
this time topped with boursin cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, fried green tomatoes and then drizzled with siracha mayo.
the portobello frites were quite something too as was the cote du rhone we washed them down with.
sunday coach and i joined the rest of the family for swimming, dining and gaming.
it was another great day enjoyed with family.
monday we started to decompress after a rather packed full seven days.
in the evening, we gathered for dinner in the dining room.
i lit the candles, put out cloth napkins and turned on music.
we had a little end of summer celebration.
coach grilled perfect ny strips and patiently tended to the risotto.
i roasted asparagus and topped the perfect spears with poached eggs and pancetta.
it was a noble send off to a stellar summer and a way over the top weekend.


please enjoy the food porn.
