A Feast for Birth
Last night we celebrated MR's birthday with a feast of his favorites. A lasagnatta: eggwhite with red pepper and arugula baked in, topped with fat free cottage cheese soaked in garlic and basil, then covered with fire roasted tomatoes (Muir Glen Organic) and finished off with a light sprinkling of part skim mozarella and a teaspoon of flax oil. Dessert was the twice a year treat: high quality organic dark chocolate, melted and topped with hazelnut oil. Very yummy.
For his real birthday present (as opposed to a series of small birthday surprises, including a carrot gazpachzo that's guaranteed to make him even oranger than he already is) I took a chance and got him a beautiful ORANGE sweater! It's not bright, men-at-work orange; rather, it's a gorgeous burnt orange, leaves in late fall, roasted pumpkin with garlic and curry orange. One of our friends who is also a CR Society member works at Brooks Brothers, so I stopped off Saturday to purchase it from him. MR put it on and he is so beautiful!!! The Orange One is even oranger!
I'm extraordinarily busy with work, coordinating the Kurzweil lunch auction, the 300 member dinner and running three campaigns on my real job. So not much time to write. More as soon as I can!
