It is Thursday and tomorrow is a rather large wedding

I'm not exactly sure what happened to my invitation but in the end, staying home this weekend is not such a bad thing. Looking forward to a bbq on Saturday evening and we might even sell the green sofa! :-)

How much steak is too much steak?

Seriously, when you admittedly have no idea how much food you need, should you really be out there purchasing for the bbq? BTW- this was fantastic!

The sun is still shining

and I am enjoying the long weekend; a big slab of beef that has been aged on the bone will be going on the BBQ tonight and a 2002 389 will be in my glass while I am cooking it. I have plenty on my plate for this coming week and I would really like to keep riding my bike as well - it does feel good after a break.
Happy Birthday to Chef Enzo for yesterday. I did miss you on the phone and I only hope that you were on the golf course enjoying yourself with your child bride.

Book- check. XO Sauce- check. Shoes-check.

It was a reasonably successful shopping trip to town this morning even if I do have to say so myself. Now it is time to relax, put the feet up and enjoy the rest of the Easter break. I like the shoes, so it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks......... correct?  :-)

It was great to see the Cook Club gang on Wednesday night

and many thanks to Capo Giorgio for the feast. We are planning all sorts of good things in the coming months- hopefully including a research tour to München.
Happy Easter to those of you who are interested in that sort of thing. For those of you who are not: hurry off to the office- it is only Friday   :-)

I really must get out and go for a ride on a bike

we can't rely on April weather to be this nice. The sun is shining and it does look very pleasant out there. Maybe just a snooze on the balcony......  :-)

Saturday morning already

where has my week of holiday gone?  :-)  The sun is shining and it might be time for a bbq again this evening. I might even get out and take some more photos today- I'm really enjoying the new camera and I need to test another couple of lenses out to see how they perform.

It must be about beer o'clock

oh, no sorry, I am in München.............. beer o'clock here is about 20 minutes after you get out of bed    :-)

Friday 8 April 2011

It is Friday evening

and the beer tastes extra good. I'm already enjoying my week off

Thanks Patricia- it was a cool walk about

and I am pretty happy with some of the photos. Looking forward to having a look at your shots when I have a chance- and we really should go back to the Twist for a burger one of these days  :-)

Lamb on the bbq last night, a nice

bottle of Italian red and then watched Casino on a DVD. For some reason I had never seen the movie before and I really enjoyed it- Mr DeNiro's outfits are superb  :-)
