we met up with josh for lunch today. we headed over to another location of the flying pan that is closer to josh's office. our chicago friends had highly recommended this location b/c it has buckets of toys and unique seating (big cushy couches). it was awesome. not only were our sandwhiches hot, delicious, and served quickly, but the ambiance was just perfect for our family. we will definitely do that again.
the rest of our day was mostly quiet. i caught up with friends and family on skype this morning, and the we had a friend join us for dinner tonight. i tried out a new recipe, mushroom chicken tetrazinni (i added spinach and lots of garlic to our version), and it was delicious. it was nice to share a meal with a friend and just kick back with some adult conversation while the kids busied themselves with their dinners and a movie.
tomorrow, we hope to take josh either to the kennedy town pool or playtown candyland...two adventures we have greatly enjoyed but that he has not yet experienced.
q taking a break from building lego sky scrapers to hoover up some apple juice while daddy holds the glass still. we have found that very few restaurants here have kid-friendly cups, and today, i forgot the sippy. ooops.
Oh man, that mushroom chicken tetrazini sounds awesome. I must try that (as soon as I'm back to cooking, maybe next week!?). I wish you were here (or that I was THERE!) :D
ReplyDeletei'd cook you a dozen meals if i was there, nancy! this is something i miss about having a network of friends. i love to cook, and i love to be able to deliver meals when my friends need a little pick-me-up.
