Dinner with Jennie and David. Bread, plus I made an apple cake from King Arthur flour. It has a penuche frosting that reminds me of the one from my favorite banana cake. I think everyone liked it; I would almost consider increasing the recipe to make a taller cake, with a better ration of icing.

I just didn't feel like making dinner, so we just ate leftovers from Christmas. It was fine. At least Carter and I had a fun trip to Northampton, with Bombay Royale for lunch.

Plus a trip to Starbucks

Donna & Walter and Dave &  Marge came up for the day. I had to work, but we went over for dinner (snacks and pizza). Still eating all those cookies and shrimp and whatnot.

Christmas! The usual suspects: cheese & crackers, little hotdogs, meatballs, cookies, chips & dip, shrimp cocktail....It was a pleasant get-together, if a little short. Nice to see Maggie and her family (especially since there will be a new Dowd this summer!!).

 No dinner, just snacking.

Trying out a new tradition---Dad, Zac, Corrina, Carter, Jason and I went to Goten for dinner. A ot of other people apparently had the same idea, so I was glad I made reservations. It was fun and good! The only downside is that long tables (and half of us being old and hard of hearing) make conversation difficult. Corrina and I even tried pretty drinks. Merry Christmas to us!

Still have a cold, still no dinner plan....I found some empanadas in the freezer and four lonely sweet potatoes in the drawer, and threw together a little sauce with garlic, sour cream and cilantro. Voila! Empanadas and roasted sweet potatoes for dinner. Not bad, considering.

I am in the throes of a cold and just really didn't plan anything for the week, so Jason made us a couple of pizzas. He always tries to put on too many toppings, but they were delicious nevertheless.
