Well, its a bizarrely warm and soggy Thursday morning. We have had a busy week and I have been slacking on the posts - for all my blogs. Look for some good eats over at East of the Equator Cafe as Paul is cooking us a prime rib Saturday night. Good friends and good foods. Oh heaven.

Tomorrow, the Friday Happy Dance!
