Friday at last! It's amazing how long a two-day work week can seem. I jetted out a bit early today and scored a ride home from my brother-in-law (who gave us La Quercia prosciutto as a host gift and is now walking my dog-- he is awesome!), shoveled the walks, and am now wrapped up cozily under a blanket.
Said brother-in-law is staying with us tonight before he leaves town tomorrow, so we have plans to go to Brasa for dinner. Brasa is one restaurant I'm always in the mood for-- the menu is chock full of well-sourced, simply prepared, and delicious meats and veggies. We like ordering family style to share a wide range of their tasty sides. Nearly all of the menu is gluten-free, which makes it especially easy to put together an order without feeling like a demanding wierdo.
Tomorrow, we have one last big family gathering (at the Ikea cafe, of all places) before all the far-flung relatives re-fling themselves home. We'll see some of the travelers again in mid-2013, but we probably won't see E's other brother and his family, including the niece and nephew, for quite some time.
If last weekend and early this week were all about family holiday traditions, the coming long weekend is for seeing friends and recharging for the new year. I have brunch and quilt shopping plans with a friend on Sunday, and we are still sorting out our New Year's Eve plans. On New Year's Day, I think we'll throw a roast in the crockpot, drink some eggnog, and take down the Christmas tree.
