Weekend update.

Had a great weekend, but am wishing that today was another day off. Yes, I'm greedy...

Anyway, went to the Melting Point at the Foundry Park Inn (must resist urge to call it the Melting Pot, as this place is about music, not fondue). The re-design of the space is really nice. The service at dinner--not so much. So very, very slow. But we weren't in a hurry so it was fine. Heidi put on a great show, & we picked up a copy of her new cd, which is also really good.

Sat. was a great day of puttering. A. just got a massive iPod, so she spent the day getting her music organized. I watched much TV & cooked most of the afternoon. I'd been wanting to try some of Paula Deen's recipes, so Sat. was like bringing a little bit of Savannah to Athens. The tilapia was the only thing that wasn't a Paula recipe (just pan-fried it). Made her mac & cheese and collard greens. I'd never made either before, so it was an adventure. I wasn't doing so well with reading recipes thoroughly (nearly forgot the milk in the m&c, & failed to realize that you season the water for the collards for about an hour before you add them....oops. But crisis was averted in both cases).

And for dessert--berry cobbler! Which again, having failed to fully grasp the recipe beforehand, required some adjustments, namely using a can of blackberry pie filling, a cup of frozen blueberries, and a cup of frozen raspberries. But it was sooooooooooooooo good!

And yesterday, we went to see Serenity, which I thought was excellent. Perhaps more on that later, but I've got a phone interview in 10 minutes, so I should go get ready. Yay for good weekends!
